What Newport Boat Caused. - While
Mrs. Ream and daughter, of Rockville,
were coming down the road from that
place, along the canal, to this city, with
load of produce for the West Harris
burg market, Saturday, they urged the
horse they were driving to step over a
rope stretched from the canal boat
Refuge" of Newport, lying at the
stock yards with load of baled hay, to
the fence, in order to hold the craft still
until the load was removed. The horse
refused to obey the driver, and began to
balk, moving backwards, until finally it
tipped the wagon over the canal bank
into seven feet of water, upsetting the
load and occupants. The hands engaged
in taking the hay out ran to the assist
ance Of the women, and after much
difficulty succeeded in rescuing them.
Miss Ream was for a while in perilous
situation, having been fastened down
by the wagon, and was with great diff
Guilty rescued. The ladies were taken to
the Stock Yard hotel and were promptly
attended to. The horse was also remov-
ed from the canal in a half-drowned
condition, but the wagon was considera-
bly, damaged. Mr.. Ream, who is
miller and man of means, will, it Is
reported, bring suit against the captain
of the boat for obstructing the public
highway and for loss of the produce and
breaking of his wagon. = HARRISBURG

three-year son of H. Il. Hohenshildt,
Esq, of this borough, while playing in
the street, was knocked down by horse
attached to spring wagon loaded with
apples and cider. The driver, w. II.
Drummer, saw the child in time to stop
as the wheel was on the little fellows
bowels, and then backed off before the
hind wheel passed over him. For some
hours it seemed as though the boys in
juries were dangerous, but we are pleased
to be able to state that he is out again,
though he may for some time feel the
effects of the internal injury.

The Town Council have decided to
erect building for an engine house,
having in it room for council meetings,
school board meetings, &c. The place
they propose to put it is the eastern cor
ner of the lot adjoining the bank, and
to this some objection is made by some
citizens. Consequently an injunction
was asked for to prevent their using the
lot for that purpose. A temporary in
junction was granted, and Saturday was
set as the day for hearing in the
matter.
On Saturday Judge Junkin declined
to hear argument or to decide the case,
as he was an interested party. On Mon
day another Judge will be present to de-
eide the matter. Judge Junkin however
seems to think that the lot can only be
used by the public, and that no building
can be put on it.

Burglary.-On Thursday night some
midnight mechanics entered the Man.
sion House in this borough, and made
general inspection of the dining room,
cellar, barroom etc., in each of which
place, marks of the visit were left.
In the barroom the money drawer
was broken open and the lock of the
desk was forced off, and about three or
four dollars in change was taken. En-
trance to the barroom was made by
forcing open the shutter with wheel
gouge which had been stolen from the
wagon shop of Stouffer & Crist. This
shop had been entered by removing the
window fastening through broken
pane of glass, and several burnt matches
dropped around showed they had leisure
ly hunted around their building. The
work was evidently done by some person
well acquainted with the premises enter
ed, and it behoves our citizens to look
leetle oud'' for visits the scamps may
make to other places, and be ready to
give warm reception. Upon further
examination, Stouffer & Crist find sever
al other tools were taken.

FROM ALASKA.

and seemingly submissive. The

all the facts concerning the troubles,
and Ills report to the Government

1t is thought that he will recommend
the establishment of a Territorial
government. lis not known how
long he will remain, probably not
longer than the 20Gh, returning via
Fort Wr,hgol The citizens of Sitka
have forwarded petition TO the
President, setting forth their situa
ton and their fears, begging that he
will gran: them the protection guar
anteed by the treaty with Russia.
They claim that after the departure
of the Alaska the Indians will grow
worse than ever, and they will be
left in the same deplorable aud un-
protected situation.
On the Slh, at Wrangel, the churc h
Indians and the opposing crowd be

Gus trouble and much blood shed, but
for the timely interference Of the
Rev. Mr.. Young. Bulh sides had

PARALLEL CASES.

We copy this week, from the car.
my and Navy Gazette, u sketch en-
titled "Geuera, Ingalls, Treason"
Whether true or not, il gives char
acterislic sketches Of persons well
known on Puget Sound and in Ore
gon. 1t has also, to our readers, an
added interest just now. 1t illus
trates most clearly the impetuous
way Secretary Stanton had of going
about everything he undertook, and
how hint Of suspicion regarding
the disloyalty of any officer however
tried and true, in his mind was sufll.
cent to condemn him at once, with
out Judge or jury.
What was done in Major Haller's
case might, on equally trivial grounds
(unless a Puge, Soupder had turned
up to explain Chinook dispatch)
have been mctrd out to General
Rufe Ingalls, who will go down to
history as Grants riuht.hand man in
the war of the rebellion. What
Stanton would have done to Nssmith
had he not got an explanation of the
Chinook dispatch, it is hard to pre-
dict. Nasmith was Democratic
Senator, and would probably have
seen the inside of Ca pitol prison.
We are second to none in admiring
the strength Of mind, the tenacity of
and the ability Of the great
War Secretary; but the mistakes he
committed, the wrongs he inflicted,
must now with one accord be right
ed, as far as it can be done. We
have seen the single affidavit which
was the sole charge and embraced
all the evidence against Ma or Haller.
Among other equally substantial
facts against him was statement
substantially as follows: II have
known Major Haller number OF
years. have repeatedly heard him
say hat he had met many Confeder.
ate officers, and had always been
treated with courtesy by them and
found them to be perfect gentlemen"
The unsustained aft lavit, of which
the foregoing is part, caused the
summary dismissal of Major Haller,
any hearing, and an imputa
ton Of disIoyaIty to be laid upon
him. Until few years ago, he
could not even get a copy Of the
charges or affidavit against him. We
reJolce with all good citizens That an
opportunity is at last to be afforded
him to meet the charges against him,
knowing full well that any impartial
court must give him the vindication
it would have given General Ingalls,
had he been dismissed for sending
A Chinook dispatch.
Major Haller's court will meet in
Washington, on the 9th Of May.
Colonel Clark, OF the Commissary
Department, and Majors John Ham
ilton and G.. Gibson Hunt are the
detail for the court.
