"How is THIS FOR HIGH!''—In the twenty-four hours ending 7:30 A. M., Tuesday morning, Feb. 13, one hundred and twenty-five cars of coal had been moved north on the E., T. H. &C. Railway. This is a good showing for a new roiid, and estiblislies the prediction of one of the early and earnest advocates of the road on account of its coal interest) who some time within the past year, asserted that within a year from that time the people would see one hundred car.-! of coal pass over the road iu twenty-four hours.

Mrs. Livermore.

Below we give a couple of short notices from the press concerning this most ppular female orator of America, who will lecture at the Opera House to-mor-row night. No lover of truth and eloquence can well afiord to miss this rarest literary treat of the season. "What shall we do with our Daughters!" is question in which every one is more or less interested. Mrs. Livermore will exhaust the subject and satisfactorily solve t..e problem. Read the following:

Mrs. Liverraore's lecture was one of deep interest, and was sympathetically and favorably received by her hearers. It was an honest history of the quiet heroism ol the war, the unobserved and forgotten actsot mercy and charity, and delivered in a dignified and graceful manner (in which benevolent she was conspicuous, but no allusion was made in the address). Her dress was plain and womanly, her manner stylish and becoming, and her expressed convictions evidently sincere ami candid.—Norwich {Conn.) Advertiser, Feb. 21.

Mrs. Livermore is a lady of marked ability, and one of the most successful leelurers of the day, drawing wonderful houses wherever she goes.—lortland Press.

LENT.

Its Origin—Its Observance.

Lent set mons abound, fresh preac'aers are sent, At this si.ason oi la-.t and sorrow And ue loan is complete—lor the preacher is

Lent,

Wniie his sermon he's apt to borrow. Tom. Ingoldsby

Wednesday was Shrovetide, and, as we learn from the writings of Brande, "It was formerly customary iu England, on this day, for ttie people to confess their sins, one by one, to their parish priests, after which they dined ou pancakes or fritters, aud the occasion became one of merriment. The bell run^ on this day is vulgarly called pancake bell, aud the day iiBelf pancake Tuesday."

Shrovetide immediately prece es AshWednesday, which is the commencement of Lent.

Lent is a fast of forty days, and refers to the time passed in the wiiderness by the Savior, or the period occupied by the repentance of the Ninevites, by the deluge, or by tA wanderings of the Israelites, and is derived from the Saxon lender, which refers to the lengthening of the days, or the German leinen, which means to thaw.

It was first observed A. D. 250, and originally was 36 days in duration. Iu the Catholic Church the people are only permitted to take oue meal in every twenty-four hours, but among the Protestants sects, each individual is left to his own judgment in the matter of eating.

Amusements of all kinds were formerly prohibited during Lent—even those in which the character and events represented were sacred in their uature.

Father Prout, iu his Apology for Lent, refers to the proclamations issued by Queeii Elizabeth and James I, in which the observance of this season of fast was strongly insisted upon, more, however, for the benefit of the fishing interest than from religious motives. He also speaks of a proclamation from Charles I., on the same subject, issued more for the purpose of winning over the Puritans to his support than to invoke the blessings of He iven.

In the same works it is asserted that the Celtic and Gallic races are naturally more abstemious than the Hollanders, the Swedes, the Saxons, and the Prussians, and, as the reformers permitted the people to partake of meat at ali times and seasons of the year, the success of that movement was insured by the support of those nations that Audit hard to live on fish and vegetable* from Ash Monday to Easter Sunday inclusive.

Lent is a period of solemnity, during which all Christendom kneels at tlu shrine of the Saviour, bewailing His doom upou the cross but the long weeks oi sorrow end in rejoicing, for the stone thai sealed His tomb was rolled back by auge. hands, and humanity was assured'that le Messiah had really come, lhat be madeHimselfa vicarious ottering for then tins, and that His resurrection was typica of that which all who believe and repen will uudergo when the body lies in th» sileuce and coldness of Die tomb.

THE FORNEY RESIGNATION.

What His Own Paper Says of the Matter. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11,1872. The resignation of Colonel J. W. Forney as Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, which was sent to the President yesterday, creates considerable com meut. Although it seems to have excited very general surprise, his intimate friends nave for a long time known his determination to resign his place at the earliest possible moment. His reluctauce in accepting it, under the appreheusion that its duties would interfere with his devotion to the Press, for, as he frequently says, "toexeel in journalism is tne only ambition of my life," has been confirmed by his experieuce iu the Collector's office. When he left Washington after resigning as Secretary of the Seuate, he was anxious to do his level best to improve and strengthen his newspaper property in Philadelphia. He had tried office here and found it a failure, aud when he took the position of Collector of your port he anticipated precisely what has happened. I think I betray no secret iu saying ihai more than the Colonel's salary as Collector was paid by him to supply his own place on the Press, while his official duiies called him from the editorial chair. His lonu experience in public li has taught him that no independent journalist, unless tie is very rich, should hold an office, except one of high honor, or one conferred by the people. A seat in the Senate or the Houie of Representatives is entirely different, for that leaves the editor measurably independent, but to be Collector or the Port of Philadelphia and at the same time editor of the Press, for instance, is not exactly the thing for one of Col. Forney's peculiar temperament. While he was Collector of the Port, if he wrote an article iu favor of President Grant's Administration, some "superserviceable knave" would hasten to exclaim that the Colonel was paid for his praises of power and if he ventured to denounce some local politician, or to refuse to join the scandal against Col. McClure, ah older and better Republican than many who have been hunting him down, he would be characterized as an ingrate to that same power. Thus he had to choose between the shame of being a slave or a parasite. He has decided to do neither. Many persons suppose that Col. Forney's resignation means opposition to General Grant. I do not think the President has to-day a more grateful or earnest friend than Colonel Forney, and General Grant knows it. But he is at the same time a friend of Mr. Sumner, a friend of more than twenty years' standing, and of others who do not favor the President's renomination. This fact was known to the President when Colonel Forney was appointed Collector of your port. His great desire is to unite the Republican party of Pennsylvania, aud to this end he will work steadily on bis return to hiteditorial duties. He feels that it is time to cry "halt!" once more to the desperate men who are trying to use the name of Gen. Grant to keep them in or help them to offices. He believes in the conciliation of old dissatisfied anti-slavery leaders of th« country. He pleads for good relations between Grant and Sumner, between Grant aud Greeley, between Grant and Fentou, and insists that what Mr. Lincoln did with the men dissatified with his administration Geu. Grant ought to do with the men dissatisfied with his. The President invited Col. Forney tocall and see him this evening, but as the Colonel left ou the early morning train for Philadelphia, in order to attend a business meeting of the Mint to-morrow morning, he could not accept the invitation. He addressed a kindly letter to the President, thanking him for the honor conferred upon him, and assuring him of his continued friendship and support.

PARIS, Feb. 14.—Sixty members of the Assembly signed the proposition for the Legitimist-Orleanist fusions

LONDON, Feb. 14.—The Times considers the tone of the New York press on the Alabama claims satisfactory.

It is reported that Gen. Sherman assured the Italian Government that the American Government expects the arbitration to pea«efully and definitely settle the Alabama question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—It is reported in the administration circles that Secretary Fish will soon retire from the Cabinet at the desire of the President. A very strong pressure has been brought to bear against Fish ever since he determined to stick, and his conservative foreign policy has been used against him with great effect. It is not improbable Gen. Sickle will aspire to the seat when Fish retires, and it is said Gen. Bank's would prefer being Secretary of State to minister abroad.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—At the solicitation of the Attorney General, the District Attorney, aud other chief men, Judge Daly of the Court of Common Pleas, has consented to try the case of Mayor Hall, on the indictments lately found against him. ,It is, however, unlikely that the case will be tried on ^eb. 19th, the day now appointed, inasmuch as Judge Daly has important matters before him, which must be first disposed of.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Despite of strenuous exertions made by friends in his behalf, the execution of Isaac V. W. Bjckhardt at White Hall,'Westchester county, Friday, is now regarded as certain to take place. Buckhardt is daily visited by Rev. Van Kleck, of Grace Cnurcli, who speaks hopefully of the anxiety manifested of late by the prisoner to remove his thoughts from things temporal, and placing them ou eternity. He expresses himself satisfied with the treatment of the Sheriff" and other attachees of the jail.

His sister-in-law and brother proceeded to Albany yesterday to make a final appeal to the Governor. It is not believed that the Governor will interfere with the course of law. Preparations for the exe-? cution are already commenced. The gallows, inside the jail yard, will be erected to-morrow.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The following is a special to the Times, from Washington, 13tli: The second trial of ex-Con-gre&sman Stokes for bis connection with the Beatty frauds, was concluded to-day. The Jury brought in a verdict of guilty, on some new evidence which made it appear that all the parties coucerned knew the bogus character of the claims, and that Stokes knew of it and helped to prepare them.

A motion for the arrest of the judgment will probably be made before Judge Carter to-morrow, and doubtless be overruled aud the'seuteuce pronounced. Victor G. Powell will be sentenced at the same time.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—Mortali ty last week was 157, of which 16 died from small pox. This disease continues to prevail about the same as for some mouths.

Suit has been commenced against the Commercial Insurance Company, of Chicago, to compel them to pay policies held by plaiutiffs. The company lost about $2,•00,000, by fire, and became insolvent, but they are allowing their stock holders to buy up claims against the company at a very small per cent, and turn them in at par to pay their notes, thus defrauding their creditors.

It is alleged that the whole assets of the company, amounting to $400,000, excepting a piece of land, have disappeared, and that the company threatens to sell the land and use the proceeds otherwise than in paying their debts.

Sioux C^Y, IOWA, Feb. 14.—Another terrible storm occurred Monday afternoon and night.

The weather is bitter cold, the thermometer standing 18° below zero, this morning, but the wind has gone down aud the storm is nearly over.

Owing to the prostration of the telegraph lines no further particulars cau be received.

MADISON, WIS., Feb. 14.—The passenger train going north on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad yesterday afternoon, collided with a freight train bound South. Both engines were smashed up, aud several cars wrecked. The express messenger was badly injured, but not seriously. The conductor of the passenger train forgot to wait for the freight train as ordered.

The Legislative Committee appointed last session to investigate the charges of bribery in connection with the passage and veto of the bill for the improvement of Chippena Dells, reported yesterday. The majority report finds no cause for the charge or suspicion that any members of the Legislature were improperly biased, and no cause of suspicion Gov. Fairohild in vetoing the bill.

The minority report makes no charges, but states that the testimony is inadequate and requests the appointment of a special commission to continue the investigation.

PARIS, KY., Feb. 14.—Mrs. Elizabeth Dougherty, was shot on Suuday by her grandson, five years old, who was playing with a pistol which was supposed to be unloaded. The old lady said, "Willie, shoot grandma." He presented the pistol at her, pulled the trigger, and she fell shot through the abdomen, and died in great agony yesterday.

CHARLESTON, W. VA., Feb. 14.—A warm discussion has been going on 'or the past few days on the subject of embodying the words "white citizens" in the proposed new Constitution as the definition of a qualified elector. The report submitted by the Committee on the Constitution, language being, "all oitizens shall have the right of suffrage," was finally adopted.

No mails have arrived here for five days. CINCINNATI, Feb. 14—Noon.—The river is rising fast, with seventeen feet in the channel. The steamer Nashville is being heavily straiued by the action of the ice and current, and will probably go to pieces soon. The freight is bad damaged. A number of men are at work removing it, but are making slow progress.

CAPT. SUTTER.

His Petition to tlie California Legislature for a Pension. During a recent debate in the California House of Representatives upon a re tolution to^jay Capt. J. A. Sutter a pension of $350 per month, (which was subsequently passed), the following pitiful letter from the poor and infirm pioneer was read

LITIZ, LANCASTER COUNTY, PENN., December 18, 1871. To Hon. Thos. B. Shannon, Speaker of the Assembly of California

DEAR SIR:—By assisting me I shall be forever grateful for this great favor, as I am now sixty-nine years old and my wife sixty-six years I will have to live only a tew years longer, as I am subject to inflammatory rhematism and have to suffer very severely every year. 1 am confined to my bed for months, and so I begin to feel the hardships of my pioneer life. Everybody who knows my history knows that I have no other sources to depend on,having been swindled aud robbed iu every way aud shape. I am sure a great many gentlemen of the Legislature are aware that I have paid the amount of about $30,000 to $34,000 state taxes on my twenty-two league grant before it was rejected the said grant from the Government of Mexico having been confirmed by the United States Land Com missioner, and again confirmed and decided iu my favor by the Northern United States District Court of California, and when it was brought before the Supreme Court in Washington under the Administration of poor Buchanan, it was rejected in the most unjust manner. It was the influence of money which defeated me. And now I have been and was struggling six winters in Washington, to prove how wrong it was, and now next January it fi'ill be the seventh time, and when I shall not succeed to get something done, I shall abandon my claim entirely. The prospect is a very poor for one who has not a pocket full of money iu Washington only with this justice can be bought. At the time when the United StatesSupreme Court rejected my claim, it decided that such taxes paid h&ve to be refunded by the State Dut I hesitated to claim the money by a lawyer or by oue of my honest agents, because I did know by experience that I would he swindled aud robbed of when n«»t of all, nearly of the who amoun

I was then talking about this mattt-i •vith my frieuds, Senators Buckley and Cuuniugham, and other gentlemen of :lie Senate and Assembly of California, and they, in conjunction with their friends, very generously set themselves •o work and succeeded in getting a pension for me of $2a0 per month for five ears. After the expiration of this time it was neglected for one year, and then, with some difficulty, it passed both

Houses with the sanction of the Gov' ernor for the term of two years longer, which will expire with the next month of March. I hope the gentlemen of the Legislature will uot have forgotten what services I have rendered to the State in early times, and what I done for the sufferiug emigrants whom I have saved from starvation, and kept and sustained during and through whole winters, the sick being attended by a doctor iu my employment and so many other good and charitable works. About the gold discovery, it is not worth while to say more about it than that it occurred through the instrumentality of my having ordered and furnished the means to build the saw mill. Marsnall is very jealous about having the credit that he found the first gold in the mill-race. But I beg your pardon. I have troubled you with such a long letter, for which you will kindly excuse me. I have the honor to be, with the highest consideration, your mostobedient servant,

THE HERO OF GETTYSBURG.

John Barn's Last Visit to New York. To the Editor of the Tribune. SIR: One cold stormy night in December last, the writer, on his way to the Williamsburgh Ferry, encountered at the foot of Wall street an old man, who, in the greatest bewilderment, was endeavoring to read the sigus on the buildings as he made his way slowly toward South street. On being questioned as to the object of his search, the old man replied that he had been looking the past week for a niece whom he had not seen for thirty years. In that interim his niece had married somebody whom the searcher had forgotten or never knew. The writer, at first sight, recognized iu the old man John Burns of Gettysburg. Repeated inquiry revealed the faet that poor Burns was on that cold stormy night without money and without frieuds, dependent on charity for a night's lodging. The writer directed him "to the nearest tavern," and furnished him with sufficient funds to keep him 'or the night. The next morning Burns was on hand at the same point in Wall street, waiting for his beuefactor of the night before. If iu the darkness of night his plight appeared pitiable, his condition as shown clearly by daylight was such as to call forth sympathy to a greater degree. Partially paralyzed, memory failing, without sufficient clothing to protect his person properly, without money, without frierfds, but with no appearance of vice, "The Hero of Gettysburg," of whom poets had sung, begged for money sufficient to take him home to die. In the office where he was taken to warm himself, Mr. Henry T. Drowne headed a subscription for his benefit. Mr. Chas. C. Moreau escorted him to the Philadelphia boat. When the student of history shall read of the campaign in Pennsylvania, and of the prize of a glass of water exacted from the Union soldiers by the citizens of that State, he will find in the story of John Burns an antidote to his indignation.

No. 52 Wall street, Feb, 9,1872. H. H. H.

JEFF. DAVIS appears to be as unfortunate as Gen. Grant iu having very indiscreet friends, who assume to be his special champions. An almost forgotten scandal, which never attracted much attention, has been revived by an ex Confederate General of the name of D. H. Maury, who entered a sleeping car on the Charleston Railroad at Chattanooga a few nights ago, and asked the con ductor if he was the man who had circulated those lies about Mr. Davis? The conductor responded, "I am the man who told what you refer to upon which the General stepped back and put his hand behiud him—a motion which in Tennessee is understood to mean business. A lively fracas ensued, the conductor using a poker as his weapon and the General was finally removed from the car in a senseless condition. It is thought that his injuries are likely to prove fatal.
