The "City of Boston." PENNSYLVANIA. The Diamaad Watt CaseMore Evidence Mr. llainond Disappears. Haerisbcbo, March 23. The Diamond Watt Committee sat until a late hour last night.

The witnesses testified to numbers of repeaters votes polled in the 2nd, 3d, and 4th wards, i 'V John Springman testified that early on the morning of the election twenty six men came to the house of his father, at 705 Walnut street. This is'the house which Ball testified that the New Yorkers went to. Mr. Hall then offered to prove to the Committee that Lawrence Ball, a witness in this case, was arrested on the cars, between Hanrissburg and Philadelphia and kept in confinement in Phil adelphia for a long period, and was forced to sign a statement, which was believed to be contradictory to the testimony before the Committee. Mr.

Hall wanted a process to bring the par. ties implicated before the Committee of the Senate, to answer for interfering with the witnesses, and to prevent the introduction of the alleged statements of Ball. Mr. Hall then desired to call Mr. Diamond on the stand to prove the arrest of Ball; but that gentleman, who bad been already notified to appear, and who was present but a few minutes prior, did not respond, and all attempts to find him proved fruitless.

Detective Fletcher was put on the stand and Mr. Cassidy objected to the testimony. The Committee concluded not to hear him now. FROM WASHINGTON. Commissioner Delano on Detect! ug Rev enne Frauds.

Commissioner Delano has replied to the House resolution asking his views in regard to the expediency and advantage, or disadvantage, to the Government, of the abolition of all allowances of moieties, or shares of penalties, fines, forfeitures, or recoveries, to officers of the' Revenue, or informers. He says, among other things it would seem proper and to the advantage of the Government, that there should be some means of securing such services by adequate compensation and reward, say an annual appropriation of $150, 000, from which the Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary of the "Treasury, should be authorized to pay such sums as In the Commissioner's judgment might be necessary Tor' detecting and bringing to trial and punishment, persons guilty of violating the Revenue laws, or conniving at the same. In cases where such expenses are not otherwise provided for by law, the yearly appropriation of $100,000 proved to be of great advantage to the Government in effecting the purposes for whicn it was designed, and with au adequate' extension of (his means of securing aid in the discovery of offences, and enforcement of lawB, the Commissioner is of opinion the Government would secure all the advantages, without the evils, of the present system of informers' moieties.

Mr. Aimes offered a joint resolution appointing Thomas Nicholson a commissioner to investigate the cases of all applicants for pensions, and to ascertain whether any persons now receive pensions who are not entitled to The commissioner is to be paid $3000 per annum. Passed. i Mr. Niles offered a resolution giving twenty five copies of "Bates's Military History" to each member, theost of printing and.

binding each volume not to exceed $3.75. Mr. Davis opposed this resolution because the Legislature had not made any contract with the State printer to print the books. The contract price for them authorized by READING, law was $3.25 per volume, complete and pow it was proposed to diarge $3.75. per vol ume for the binding and printing alone, without regard to the material, which would largely increase the expenses.

Mr. Brown moved to postpone the resolu tion for the present, which was agreed to by 49 ayes to 41 nays. FOK1T F1RAT TEBMS)EOHB SES IOS 1 Senate. Washington, March 23.

Mr. Dawes, from the Committee on Appro priations, reported a resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a detailed state ment of the expenditure of the $100,000 appro priated in 1867 for the colonization of the freedmen. Mr. Dawes also presented the petition of citizens of Massachusetts for the free impor tation ot lead. The Sutro tunnel oase then came up as the business of the morning hour.

Mr. Strickland, a member of the Commit tee on Mines and Mining, supported the re port of that committee adversely to the bill Mr. Kelley supported the action of the committee, and eulogized Adolph Sutro as one whose name would live as a man of genius while the names of those now legislating on the subject would be forgotten, or only known to some student of parliamentary history. This tunnel was as essential to the Uvea of miners as better regulations were essentiol in the coal mines of his own State. It was therefore a national rather than a local question, and the miners, the men who worked the pick and shovel, were standing by Adolph Sutro and sustaining him.

Mr. Ferris, chairman of the committee, closed the discussion in an argument in defence of the action of the committee. At half past two the House resumed the consideration of the Polygamy bill, Mr. Walker moved to amend the bill by striking out sections 14, 30, and 32. The following amendment, as an additional section, offered by Mr.

Fitch, was voted on by yeas and nays: "that the provisions of this Act, so far as the same shall be applicable shall be extended to all the States and Terri tories of the United States wherein the crimes of Bigamy and Polygamy have been, or may be, practised The amendment was rejected, yeas 41, nays 114; and the House proceeded to vote on the amendment offered by Mr. Walker, to strike out section 11, making the lawful wife of the accused a competent witness against him, was stricken out. Section 14, providing that the statutes of limitation shall not bar a prosecution under this Act, was also struck out. Section 30, authorizing confiscation of properly of persons convicted, was also struck out. Section 31, for the temporary relief of persons reduced to destitution under the enforcement of this law, was also struck and section 32, authorizing the President to send military into Utah, and accept 40,000 volunteers, if necessary, to enforce this law, was struck out.

The bill war then passed yeas 94, nays 32, without the yeas and nays being called. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, introduced a well authorizing the President to accept the resignation of any Judge of any United States Circuit Court. Referred. Mr.

Kerr, from the Committee on Elections, made a minority report in one Louisiana oase with a resolution that Hunt, the contestant, is entitled to a seat, instead of Sheldon the sitting member.

Oub Advertisements. The general readers of the Times will not forget, in their daily perusal of the paper, to look at the new advertisements. These form a very important and readable portion of the paper. In the one tnjtwo columns of hew advertisemements inserted every day, there is much useful information in regrad to the business interests of the city and county. The business class of the community fully appreciate the value of the Times as an advertising medium, as the extent to which they use its columns daily gives ample evidence.

I The Opening the W. R. R. R. The Editor of the Wilmington Commercial syas that he Was informed in conversation with a prominent official of the Wilmington and Reading Rail Road recently that, unless there be some extraordinary and unexpected inter ference, the road will be open by the first of May next.

THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1870. Landlord and Tenant. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Judge Agnew deliv ering the opinion, decided that, in proceedings underthe Landlord Tenant Act of December 14, 18G3, to recover possession of the demised premises, service of notice on December 25 is a legal three months notice, the lastday of the term being the 24th of the following March. The law provides that the landlord shall prove that the term is fully ended, and that three montlis previous notice has been given. The court, therefore, held that the term had not fully ended until March 25, and that as December 23 must be considered as a whole day, service on that day was a day's notice, and that the three months notice was complete and fully ended.

The court also reaffirmed the rule that when, by an act of the Legislature, a given number of days is allowed to do an act, or when an act may be done within a give i number of days, the day ou which the rule is taken or the decision made is excluded. The decision in the landlord and tenant case, however, depends upon the particular wording of the act of March 24, 1863. Lebanon Pineorovb R. R. The Lebanon Courier says that the amount of travel on the Pinegrove railroad is surprising.

The noon train, on Saturday, from Lebanon, was so crowded that anumber of passengers found accommodation in the baggage car. Jones town is waking, up under the inspiration of railroad accommodations. It is quite lively there about the depot, and some new buildings are already under way in the more pop ulous part of the town. Mr. Heilman, late representative from Lebanon county, has under way a neat cottage located so as to com mand a very beautiful prospect.

Capp is erecting a new store room, and other im provements are contemplated. There is a movement on foot, we learn, to have the place an incorporated borough. The walk to the depot is not yet what it should be, but we have no doubt the enterprise there will not permit this deficiency long to continue. Alleged Breach of Contbact. The following action came up for trial in the Nisi Prius before Judge Read, on Tuesday, but after proceeding to some ex tent, was continued.

The suit was that of George Rice vs. the Pottstown Iron Company. The plaintiff alleged that in May, 1868, he agreed to take the contract from the Reading Railroad Company for the building of the Colebrookdale branch, upon the agreement with the defendants that they would take from him $100,000 worth of the bonds of the road at $95 per hundred. The consideration en the part of the defendants was the great service which the building of the new road would be to them, in affording ready communication with their mines. The plaintiff performed his part of the contract but alleged that the defendants had performed theirs in part only, the balanee claimed in the suit being $21,712.

Real Estate Sales in Hamburg. The assignees of Samuel F. Stoyer sold on Monday last, at public sale, the following real estate in the Borough of Hamburg A house and lot in White Oak street, to Henry Focht, for $1,000. A building lot at the corner of Walnut and White Oak street, to Jacob A. Dieterich, for $400.

Harrison Mengel, of Hamburg, has bought a tract of woodland, containing from 50 to 60 acres, situated in Lynn township, Lehigh co from William Brendle, for $2300. The tract is well grown with heavy timber. i Pbeyalence of Scarlet Fevee. Thi distressing and peculiarly fatal disease has been prevailing to a very great extent among children in this city the past few months, and it is donbtful whether it is not just now at its greatest hight.

A number of fatal cases have occurred very recently. It appears to prevail throughout this section of the State, and is reported to be very bad in some portions of Philadelphia. In Lebanon it has been thought advisable to close the primary schools for a short period, as a precaution against its spread. Too much care cannot be exercised to prevent the spread of the contagion, as it may be as readily communicated in the garments as small pox. i Meeting of the County Agricultural Society.

Notice is given elsewhere of a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Beiks County Agricultural and Horticultural Society, at the Keystone House, on Saturday afternoon, April 26th, at 2 o'clock. This is a meeting of sufficient importance to demand the attendance of every member of the Committee, as we understand the date will be fixed at that time for the next fall fair, as well as general arrangements for that occasion taken into consideration. We have reason tobelive that there will be a special effort to make the fair a' worthy agricultural display. The Society is in good hands, and there is, reason to place eoDfidepce in its plans and i' X' i i rf 1 LeQiL LEawtdtTioS. We leam from the agk Kafthe following bills and petitions were introduced into the House of Representatives at H.trrisburg on Monday, by A.

Keffer, of Berks: An act to authorize the trustees, elders and deacons of the German Reformed congrega. tion in the city of Reading to mortgage real estate. Also, an act to repeal an act to vacate an alley in the city of Reading. Also a petition of citizens of Reading favorable to the same. Also, numerously signed petitions for and against an Auction Law.

i A Cableess Letter WBrrER. An old citi zen of this place received through the Post Office yesterday, a letter addressed to him, in an unsealed envelope, postmarked Philadelphia, and containing an inclosure of $100 in two fifty dollar notes, in a blank sheet of paper. This instance indicates that the writer was entirely devoid of ordinary busi ness precaution or else egregiously careless. Such a communication would usually run a good many cnances ot oeing abstracted. The neglect was so marked as to attract the attention of the post office officials in Philadelphia.

who commendably adopted especial precau tions to insure toe sale delivery of the communication to the person to whom it was addressed. Regulating the Intebment of persons. There is a bill before the Legislature to pre vent permature interments by requiring at least forty eight hours to elapse after the sup posed death of a person before depositing the body in the grave. A law like this might operate very well if provision were made for the earlier interment of persons dying from infec tions diseases, the retention of whose corpses for the time prescribed in the bill in question might entail sickness on the living. Another improvement might be made by inserting clasue prohibiting undertakers from putting bodies of persons supposed to be dead in ice before a proper time intervenes.

When we consider the universality of this practice, and how hurriedly it is frequently resorted to, there is grave reason for doubt in some cases, where animation was merely suspended, that life was not frozen out of the unfortunate being by the carelessness of the undertaker. The new law would be judicious if it would prohib it these freezing appliances until the signs of partial decomposition plainly proved that the spirit had fled, and if it excepted persons dy ing of contagious diseases. Hanimburg Patri ot. From Birdsboro'. Mr.

A. B. Young, lessee of the Birdsboro' Iron Foundry has taken possession, and started the works on Tuesday morning.

Sheriff Albright yesterday afternoon sold the proper ty of George S. Yoder, consisting of one hundred acres of land in Oley township, with improvements, to Hiram R.

Cleaver, for $11,150. Kutztown Past and Present. The Pottstown Ledger contains a letter from Kutz town from which we take the following interesting extract relative to that ancient and now rapidly improving borough: Kutztown was founded about the year 1785, and was incorporated as a borough, March 1, 1815. The land on which the town is situated was owned by George Kutz, afterward by his son George, who laid out the town, and named it after his own name. He generously contributed land upon which to erect a church and school house, and in connection gave ground for a grave yard.

A Lutheran and German Reformed Church was erected on Baid ground in 1790, and a school house about the same time. Kutztown issituated in what was once Max atawny township, on the west side of Sacony Creek, in Maxatawnv Valley, on the Allen town and Reading Railroad, (midway be tween,) 18 miles from either place. It con tains some four or five hundred dwellings, and a population of some 1,600 or 1,800. Some twelve years ago a railroad was built through the valley from Reading to Allen town, leaving Kutztown to the north some two miles. From the building of that, up to the present, it has somewhat revived, but being so far off did not improve much; but during the last year she has become awakened, as from a long and deep deep, that was nigh unto and is shaking the dust of half a century off her garments, and is showing unmistakable signs of life and activity.

During the past year a Railroad connecting Port Clinton on the Reading Road, and Topton and Allentown on the E. P. R. has been completed as far as Kutztown to Topton, and is, in running order. The north part is yet unfinished from here to Port Clinton, but is rapidly being pushed to completion.

We have three trains running daily from here to Reading, and as many in return. They are now carrying over the Kutztcwn Branch as high as 140 uasseneers daily, and the freights transported are far ex ceeding the expectations of the company. Neltrbborlng; Counties. South Bethlehem has a new paper, the Weekly ProgreM. It is said that a number of handsome build ings will be erected in Harrisburg this sea son.

Ditto in Reading. A thumb was found in a steel trap in a hen roost, on the premises of a citizen of Pottsville. The query is, who lost a black thumb? Philadelphia recently turned out three hundred and thirty seven doctors of medicine from her four colleges, including fourteen women. A new prison is being erected in Wilkes barre, which, it is said, will coat the county the trifling sum of $300,000 I Rather an expensive county luxury, we should think. 1 Philadelphia proposes to expend one additional million of dollars to remedy the mistakes in the construction of its water works, and does not expect to make them perfect at that Its experience should be a warning to other cities.

1 At a large meeting of the Tamaqua and Port Carbon miners, held on Friday and Saturday last, it was decided to resist the proposed reduction of wages to $2.50 basis, and if the operators attempt to put it into operation on April 1, as now contemplated, a general strike will be the result. Hon. Eli Slifer, who was reported quite ill in Florida, a few weeks ago, is better, and hopes of his recovery are entertained. A bill is before the Legislature which gives the Water Company of Lebanon, the power to take any spring or springs, stream or streams in the county of Lebanon or adjacent counties, and compels all householders by whose premises the water pipes pass to pay rent, wbether they use the water or not. Joshua Kames, is about putting up a new hotel at Downingtown, Chester county, which is to be "a big thing."
