They feel satisfied that a foil investigation will show many frauds and misma na K* !men t s °f the matter. They ask time, until the next session, to complete the investigation which they have commenced/ The report was concurred jn by consent.

ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATORS.

As we anticipated last week, Governor Willard vetoed the bill prescribing the manner of electing United States Senators. On motion to pass the bill over the Governor’s I veto it was lost, not receiving a majority of ■of all the members of each branch. The I vote was as follows: Senate —yeas, 24; | nays, 23, and the President, making 24. House—yeas, 49; nays, 45. Mr. Snyder voted no. Inasmuch as the Legislature had already declared that the State of Indiana was not represented in the United States Senate, that Bright and Fitch were usurpers, and the Governor having vetoed the bill pre- ' scribing the method of election hereafter, I the Legislature, by concurrent resolutions, went into an election for Senators last Wednesday, in the election of Colonel Henry S. Lane (Republican) for the long term, and Judge William M. McCarty (Anti-Lecornpton Democrat) dor the short term, by a majority of each branch, as follows: Senate—-for Heniy S. Lane: ayes, 26; n,qys, 0—23 Senators refusing to vote, and one absent. The vote for William M. McCarty was the same as that for Colonel Lane. House —for Lane, 51; present and not voting, 45. The vote for Judge McCarty was tire same. Mr. Snyder was present ' and did not vote. Great cheering followed the announcement of the result by the Speaker. • In the evening Colonel Lane and Judge McCarty entertained their friends, irrespective of party, with a bountiful oyster supper at the Bates House. The crowd was so great that many could not gain admission. Hilarity and good feeling prevailed, and the Senators elect expressed their deterniiraI tion, as their friends had placed them in that j position, to use their utmost efforts to ob-! tain the- seats illegally occupied by Bright' and Fitch. Should they be successful, we will make 1 a bon-fire of our old hat. However, success- j fui or unsuccessful, had Bright and Fitch a particle of political honesty about them,' they have resigned their fraud-gotten seats long, long ago, if not, in fact, have declined them with scorn in the first place; andnow, since the State has repudiated them and chosen two gentlemen to contest their seats, had they a particle of manhood left, they would resign their present position and retire to private life, where they could hide tiie blushes of sh.ame that ought to mantle their cheeks from the gaze of honest men. However, we look for no such thing; but believe that they will cling to their miserable seats until kicked the people of Indiana in disgrace, unless the Senate will do us justice, which it is to be hoped will be the case. At all events, soone -or later, retribution will overtake them, and bitterly, hopelessly, will they lament, in anguish of heart, their attempt to outrage a liberty-lov-ing and justice-dealing people.

SHELTERINGI STOCK.

i One of the prominent rules in agricultural ■ economy is this: Provide comfortable shelI ter for your stock. There is, however, among prairie men no instruction that is more flagrantly violated. It is true that I every farmer has the privilege of conducting Jiis affairs in the way he thinks fit; but we ■ start out upon ’he supposition that it 'is his t object to improve in his method of cultiva- , tion and farm management, and that for this ! end he is willing to pay a proper respect to the experience of the votaries of the field, and to the result of scientific inquiry. i Now, it is a well-established fact that the best farm administrators pay close and unwearied attention to the condition of their stock, and consider it to be tire bight of folly to allow cattle to shilt for themselves. It will not be disputed, we presume, that the Dutch farmers of Pennsylvania stand at the i head of the profession. They are acknowl- ! edged on all hands te be the most scientific and economical tillers of the soil of the mass of hard-working, practical farmers. f.Nor will it be disputed that they are gathering a rich harvest from their lands. In other words, they are superior agrestic controllers, and are getting wealthy from their system of management. Of course, then the result of their experience is authority in good husbandry. And what is it! One item therein is simply that neglecting to protect the stock and herd is b ggariy policy. Who ever neard of a Pennsylvania Dutchman who was not proud of his barr.s? He must have a fine residence for his stock at all events, although he has a poor one : for himself. Indeed, an elegant house and j a shabby barn about as incongruous in i the eyes of a genuine stock-grower as a i span of poor horses and a costly carriage are to the vision of a true lover of the steeds. Beside, the testimony of the learned men called scientific is on our side. The old kettle upon which agricultural writers drum so loud and long is this same one of shelter. In fact, go where you will, consult whomever you may, the rule is set down to be valid—the experience of mankind is in its favor. Inasmuch as men work for their own interest, their adoption of the system is a powerful argument in its behalf. It is not. easily to be set aside, however much it may be ridiculed. In nature the accumulation of fat upon the bodies of animals was designed for a •pecial purpose. Its object is to supply

warmth to the beast during the winter, not siipply as a covering for it as fuel? - A long cold season, with damp rainy weather, draws heavily upon the fund; and the animal comes out of the winter in the condition familiarly known as “spring poor.” It requires two or three good months to regain what he has lost. This is a positive expenditure to the farmer. Now, stabbling supplies the place of fodder; it is so much grain saved. And the Question is, Will it pay? The prairie man says it will not; that lumber is high; that it will cost some time and trouble to build it; that the cattie will injure one another, and he can better afford towrap them with grain than shelter them with wood. The objection of time, trouble, &.C., is not well taken; the practice of good farmers is against it. It is true that sheltering for a large lot of cattle, made from good materials, substantially and artistically put up, is expensive, but in the end it is economy; and if the farmers of Jasper will turn some of their rich acres into barns they will find it so.- It may not be convenient, and, perhaps, not expedient, to build extensively at the outset. A farmer can gather up the materials as the chances offer themselves, and work them into form during his leisure moments. Let him put up a part at a time, always constructing, however, ac- ( cording to a general plan so that when they ■ are are all up there may,be compl°teness in the parts and harmony in the whole. In the i meantime, sheds made from poles,’well lined with prairie grass, and with ample arrange-I meats for light and ventilation, will answer the purpose very well, and be the,means of bringing many dollars into the pockets of] the farmers. A man, however rich he may [ be, cannot afford to shelter stock with corn. \ If he can afford, to raise cattfe at arf, he can-I not afford to waste a particle of fodders It < he has more grain than he needs, let him enlarge his herds or- lessen the number of j

acres in his farm.

NELL NARLIE, NO. II.

Dear Gazette: Kindly greetings to you | and to all whose homes are gladdened by your presence. Health, prosperity, and pleasant homes. It is a time, now while the Storm King ;- • I broods in the darkened sky, to draw more closely to, and prize more dearly the fires’de > hearth, The iron fetters of business may j be relaxed, and the warmer social sympathies of the heart, not dead, but perchance sleeping, be awakened to renewed vigor. We too much forget that it is not a’l to “live and get gain;” that “those we love are passing from us,” and that our life is a state of chrysalis—the bud of the next world. Go to the window and learn a lesson of the north wind. See it mold of the falling snow-flakes, with unseen fingers, wreaths of Parian marble with matchless skill. How i lavish of its gifts, yet how beautiful and I pure! The oak, on whose venerable head has descended the snows of many winters, stretches not forth its aged limbs in vain—the elm and willow, whose limbs sway in the ■ breath of Eolus, receive a passing tiibute—the thorn and myrtle-tree are invested in a swan-like robe—on coop and kennel and garden gate he graciously bestows his gifts, until the earth seems a fairy’s dream chrys-i talyzed. Now close the shutter—yes, close the heart’s curtain —let its life throbs speaki and their echoes be thy heart’s confessor. ■ If thou hast chosen a sordid part, renounce it there, and upon a purified shrine offer ac-i ceptible incense. Let. thy first, best! thoughts arise in thanksgiving to the Giver i of al) good—then before the altar dedicated to thy households gods renew thy vows and offer a fervent oblation, like earth s snowmantle, chaste, beautiful and unreserved.. Bid each holy influence welcome—the flowers of love to blossom, and affection shall weave them into a fadeless garland which shall festoon the hall of memory, when, perchance, the hand that braided them will be gathering the b'ight blooms of Paradise to enwreath a “harp immortal.” O! better I this than that those walls be draped with , the sable drapery of remorse. Life is beautiful when the frostwork of Time, on the windows of the soul, reflects only pure thoughts and guiltless actions. We may create a world and call it “The Past”—we may erect therein a beautiful Palace of Life, and enrich it each day with the treasures of the heart—noble deeds be its priceless surroundings. Incur ample domain there- shall be mountain bights of integrity and truth, whose “mountain passes” shall be peace) there shall be woodland and lea, and their paths shall be pleasantness; and though the vale of sorrow shall bethere, and perchance the thorn-tree, we will woo the nightingale thither, and its sweet songs shall resound through the valley, along the hill-side and adown the “smooth-flowing river,” from which arise only silver mists, through which moon-beams softly shine, and the sun of happiness dispels in the light of coining days. O! we will call to the world in the faith and hope and light of “Home and Heaven,” and the echo will be—“Do noble tilings, not dream them ail day long; And thus make life, death, and that vast forever. One gland, sweet song.” „ o -

Sincerely,

Newton Fulls, Dec., 1858. G/T’Tbia ia a remarkably “open” winter.

The friends of agricultural improvement met last Saturday, according to agreement, and organized by electing Judge J. G. Crane Chairman.

The committe reported as follows: President- obert Parker. Vice President-—i. C. Post. 'Treasurer —Alfred McCov. *'' cretary— Mr. Dona Idsou. And one Director for every township in the county, the most of whose names we now disremember, but if the Secretary furnishes them in time for our next issue we will publish them. The report was accepted, and the Board immediately met, appointed Messrs. E. T. Harding, W. I). Lee and Alfred Thomps >n a c-imihjttee of three to look around for a suitable location for fair grounds, and then adjourned 1 . About S4OO of stock had been subscribed, although some of the subscription papers were still out. The appearances are favorable for a good society '»

A Nocturnal Comedy of Errors.

A Young Wife in an Extremely Embarrassing Situation, and her D liverance Thence. Some days since, a young couple, who had newly donned hytrienial vestments,came from their home, a pleasant village in thioState, to spend a portion of the snpposed-to-be delicious period known as the honeymoon, and placed themselves under the charge of the proprietor of the Spencer House. They then sallied forth to witness the beauties and peculiarities of the Queen City, and do, as brides are ever wont, a quantity of the little businesses embraced in the term “shopping.” ' They were gone several hours, and did not I return to the hotel until sundown, quite I fatigued wjth their exertions. The bride, j Mrs. R., then found that she had forgotten some articles indispensable to. her toilet, and unwilling to disturb her husband, who, she knew must be weary, slipped out, while he was down stairs, and went up to Fourth street to get the diminutive bundle. She was successful in her search for the store and the article, but on her way back, mistook, from her ignorance ot the city. Main street for Broadway, and the Madison for the Spencer House, which are situated nearly opposi'e to each other. Airs R. went into the ho‘el, and thinking it looked rather different from the other, a-k'-d one cf the waiters she met in the hall in rather a low and indi'tinct tone, if that was the “Spencer,” to which he, failing to understand her, replied in the affirmative. She then ordered him to bring her the key to No. 48, which he did, at d she enter d it and removed her bonnet, shaWl and other portions of her attire, and crept between the sheets of the bed to enjoy a littl nap after ! her long walk, never dreuming she was in ; the wrong house, for the reason th t the I apartment, happened to have the some position, and furnished very much like her room at the “Spencer.” Instead of taking a “little nap,” she fell into a profound sleep, that continued hour after hour until 11 o’clock, at which time she was disturbed by a most unexpected incident. The rightful occupant o' No. 48, a young nv-rchant from a town in Indiana, who bad been to the theater and become a little intoxicated, went to tbe Mad's .n, and wishing no one to see his ciDndition, walked up to the morn without, a light, and fortunately or unfortunately. found the door unlocked. He entered quietly, and as total darkties* reigned there, he removed his garments and crept into the spacious double bed, not disturbing in the lea»t the fair bride who lay near the wall. « How long the two reposed there side by side, with only a foot of space between them, all unconscious of each other's presence, is not exactly known but probably about an hour, when a tremendous noise was heard in the apartment, from which female screams issued wildly, piercingly and ceaselessly. The hotel was in an uproar; proprietors, clerks, waiters, porters and guests, dressed and half dressed, were at the door of “fortyeight” in a few minutes, blocking up the entrance and asking each other eagerly, “What is the matter!” “For God’s sake tell us what is the trouble?” The cause of this outcry may be imagined. The bride had awakened about midnight, and putting her hand over for her husband, it fell upon the Indianian’s face, and the ' soft, warin touch aroused him at once. He did not understand it exactly, though he did . not dislike it, and in a moment more Mrs. R. said: “My dearest Imsbund, where have you been all this while!” “Husband!” echoed the merchant, begining to see, like lord Tinsel, that he had i “made a small mistake here.” “I ain’t your | husband! my wife is at home in Indiana. I j reckon, dear madam, you’re in the wrong ' bed.” In the wrong bed—lurror of horrors, thought, the ,bride. What w-old her liege lord—-what would the curious world suy ! And Mrs. R. screamed terribly, and sprang front the couch, just as her companion did the same. Me was fully as much alarmed;

| ae she, and entreated her to gire him time and he would leave the apartment, although j it was the one he had engaged—he’d make I oath to that. Scream, scream, stream, was the only r®- ! ply to this kind proposition. “My God, madam, don’t yell so! you will wake the house. Be reasonable; I swear It is only a mistake. Have some thought of the consequence. I don’t want tohurt y./u; I swear I don’t. You’ll get me shot,"and yourself—well I won’t eay what/’ The screams increased, and the poor Indianian, expecting every moment to see a pistol thrust in his face by a jealous husband, turned pale as dea'h, which he expected, and resigned himself to his fate. Just at this juncture, the throng outside presented itself at the door, and beheld Mrs. R. cowering in one corner, exercising her lungs magnificiently, with a sheet wraped over her form and head, and the Indi mian in the middle of the room envi-loned in a coverlet, and ejeculating, “My God, m idam, don’t!” The junior proprietor. Dr. Cahill, saw j there must be some mis.a’<e, and requesting t e others to retire, called the merchant out, went with him into another room, and there learned the whole story. The Doctor thetusent one of the ladies "of th? ho e to Mrs. R., and the entire affair was explained, greatly to her relief, thou h she was overI whelmed with confusion at a circumstance that might have ruined her reputation for- | ever. Under the escort of the Doctor, she was I conveyed to the “Spencer,” where the husband was found pacing the corridors with frantic mien, and half crazed with grief at the mysterious disappearance of his wife, whom he believed had b»*en spirited away by a villain, or murdered lor her jewels in this “infernal city,” where, as he expressed it, “they would kill a man lor a dollar any i time / As soon as he beheld his spouse he caught her to liis bosom and wept like a child. He was melted with happiness at her discovery and recovery, and told her he bad scoured the city for intelligence of her whereabouts in vain. He had nearly given up all hope of meeting her again in this world, though, iashe, growing poetic in his joy. phr-iscd it, j she had, thank Heaven, returned to him like i an angel from another sphere, and made hi-i “Paradise in the Eden es he, love.” ,id The bride told the bridegroom a story as near the truth as she could, which, like most women’s histories, designed to shelter themselves, was a model ot iiijeimity and a miracle of art—without exciting Ihe Othello in his bosom; and with a thousand thanks.to the Doctor, whom the Benedick s.-emed somehow to regard ns the deliverer of his consort, they bade him good ni'dit. [Wonder it any of our merchants know anything about this iniid ’nt. VVe are told that one of them, at least, was in Cincinnati about that time.] '
