An Earthquake near Home. Syracuse, Dec. 18. A considerable shock of earthquake was experienced here at 3:10 this mornin. Its duration was about a minute ami a half.

A violent shock of earthquake occurred here this mom ing, shaking the firmest buildings, knocking over loose articles of furniture, and producing great awe and terror in the minds of the people. Our whole population was awakened by the noiae and violence of the shocks. The visitation last ed about two minutes, and the vibration nearly or quite a micuto. It commenced from the westward, coming gradually, and increased in viclence until it reached its highland then passed off as it came, apparently an eastward direction. Happily no damage was dona to cither persons or property, although the greatest consternation prevailed.

Nothing like it has ever before occurred in this vicinity. Burlwotok, Dec. 18.

Upon the breast of each was a silver plate that upon the woman being circular with a diameter of five or six inches, while that upon the man was of the same shape, but of less diameter.

Upon each arc engravings appearing to indicate a coat of their purport it is nowj difficult," if possible to deciper. There are figures of deer and curious emblems that now are enigmas to us. Besides these articles several pipes have been found, one with a heavy lead base and a large clay bowl, others with small clay bowls. There was also found upon the woman above mentioned, and which had evidently been wound around her neck, several yards of silver wire, and upon the chief, brass wire. They were evidently persons of distinction in tho tribe." Terrible Eailroad Accident.

A Happy Xew Year. Before the issuoof another number of the Gazettk, the year of grace one thousand eight hundred and sixty men, wc were about to write, so strong is the force of habit) eight will have opened It will be, in some respects, a memorable one; issues of great moment now pending, will be definitely settled before its close and the future welfare of the country depends greatly on the judgment which the people shall exhibit in disposing of the political and industrial questions that demand their attention. And while the public is earnestly occupied withe great problems of the hour, let it not be forgotten that we shall endeavor to make the Gazette the best paper in Northern Pennsylvania, and shall continue its publication as heretofore, at the low rate of $3.00 per annum. Perhaps no greater cause for congratulation to our readers now exists, unless it be the circumstance that we shall have a new administration in one year, two months and four days; though the year will be a day longer than than the present one. Now is the time to subscribe 1 IIecoiwusction.

The following bill passed the house of Congress on the 18th. lie it enacted, That so much of the fifth ection of on act passed March 23, 1867, on titled an act supplementary to an act to provide for the more efficient government of the Rebel States, passed March 2, 1866, and to facilitate their restoration, as requires that a majority of all the registered voters of the district nhall be cast in favor of the ratification of the Constitution before it becomes valid, be, and the same is hereby so far modified that a majority of the retes cast at the election for the ratification or rejection of the Constitution, shall be considered as valid and as affirming or rejecting Mid Constitution. Sec. 3. And be it artier That the voters of the several States mentioned in the acta to which this ie amendatory may, at the time of voting on the ratification of the Constitution, vote also for Members of Congress, who shall be entitled to take their seats as members of the House of Representatives on taking the oaths of office required by law whenever and as soon as such States are duly reconstructed and entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States, and un til a new apportionment shall be made the electors for said members shall be according to the districts as they existed in the years 1858 and 1859, except when otherwise provided for; and the election officers who shall make the returns of the votes cast on ratification or rejection of the Constitution shall enumerato and certify the votes cast for Members of Congress, and give certificates of election to those possessing the largest number of qualified votes, and who shall be entitled thereto.

Foreigners Waxtino IIomksteads. It has been decided at the General Land Office, in reply to a communication from a party in England, wishing to have lands selected and secured for himself and others as homesteads, under the act of the 20th of May, 1802, and the supplemental acts, in advance of the coming of the emigrants to the United States, that this cannot be done as the law requires that the party desiring the homesteads shall be a citizen of the United States, or have regularly filed his declaration of an intention to become such, before the entry can be made so as to secure the land; and, furthermore, it is required that the preliminary affidavit required of the party cannot le made outside of the United States limits. A bstracts of Law Decisioxs. On Writs Accidental Omission of Stamp. Under the act of Congress, approved Jnue 80th, 1864, entitled An Act to provide internal revenue," the instrument is r.ot forfeited, nor is the penalty incurred by an accidental omission to affix a United States Internal Revenue Stamp thereon.

The forfeiture of the penalty and the forfeiture of the instrument are both embraced in one entire, connected proposition, ind both rest on the same facts, the omission of the stamp, with intent to evade the pro tinions of the act. Hitchcock v. Sawyer, 39 VL Therefore a motion to dismiss a suit for the reason that no stamp was. affixed to the writ, without alleging that the omission was with intent to evade the provisions of the statue, was held insufficient lb. Merchant Fleets.

The merchant fleets of the different nations is a subject of a comparison by a cotemporary, from which it appears that Great Britain, with her colonies stand greatly ahead in the amount of her mercantile tonage, while Northern Germany far exceeds France, being third on the list. The figures are: Great Britain, 7,000,000 tons; the United States, 5,000,000 Northern Germany France, Italy, Netherlands, 610,000 Spain, 276,000 Austria Sweden and; Norway, 176,000 and Denmark, 140,030. In the years 1820 Gl the United States had overtaken England as the first commercial power, and had at that time the largest tonage of any nation in the Usury Wabd Beecher defended norel writing last Sunday evening on the ground that the parables of the Savior were little novelettes, i Undoubtedly. But the clerical novelist overlooked tho trifling difference that the "little novelette" were not written for publication in the New York or Jerusalem Ledger nor because their author was ottered twice as much for them as he could make in the same time by lecturing. We shall look next to see Beecher defending his Cleveland Convention letters of 18GG by citing the epistles of Taul as precedents.

Internal Revenue Decisions Wasiuso ton, Dec 17. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that cotton rags, remnants, waste, are not shoddy within the commercial signification of the term, and seouldnot be taxed; but that batting cloths and other fabrics made from such materials aro taxable. The tax upon a manufactured article is a lien upon all the property belong, ing to the manufacturer either at or subsequent to the time when it becomes due and payable. There is no lien upon a manufactured article for the tax assessed upon itself, but it may be subject to a lien for taxes due jnd payable lrom the manufacturer on account of other goods procuccd by him. The Pottsville Fair of the Grand Army of fie Republic, for the benefit of destitute families of soldiers, is a grand success.

Gen. ilartranft was present last night, and was af erward serenaded and made a speech. Three dollars will be realized. Tde Gadsden (Ala.) Times says that for he past two months an average of fifty wagons er week have passed through that town, fill with dissatisfied Georgians and Alabamians eeking homes in the western The Scrgeant at firms of the House ol Rep Jsentatives, (so say Washington dispatches,) as charged up as. his fees for sum loning witnesses.
