THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, l'A. 1 Friday Evening, March 19, 1852. Whig State Convention. * WHIG STATE CONVENTION will be A held at Harrisburg, an the Oath of March, j-iaO, for the purpose of nominating a Canal Commissioner, forming an Electoral Ticket, and choosing delegates to the National Con vention. The Whigs of the various counties of the Commonwealth are hereby notified to elect delegates equal in number to their representa tives in the Senate and House of Representa tives. to attend said Convention. By order of the Whig State Central Commiltee, NEll MIDDLESWARTH, President. CHARLES THOMAS JONES, Secretary. February 7, 1*52. Notim of New AiluTti.snupnls. R. C. Ross, Esq., will take charge of the Lewistown Academy in April, ar.d is deter mined to leave no means untried to establish the institution on a basi9 that will render it worthy of an extended support. For this we ; believe him to be well qualified, and aided by the Misses Ross, both teachers of acknowledged merit and worth, we trust soon to see a male and female department equal to any of the popular schools in neighboring counties. JOHN STONE SONS, Philadelphia, invite attention to tiieir extensive stock of Silks, Ribbons, and Millinery Goods, undoubtedly one of the best in the city. B. J. Wii.i.i VMS, Philadelphia, manufacturer of Venitian Blinds, &c., has constantly on hand a large stock of Blinds, &.C., and we recom mend our readers in need to give him a call. The stand in Market Street so long occupied by Charles Shell, is offered for sale or rent. ZOI.USC.ER has ail the latest fashions in the hat line, and will furnish customers with a lirst rate article, light, neat and graceful. A. FELIX has a lot of fine furniture on hand that will commend itself to buyers. Also, the spring-bottom Bedstead, an article highly re commended, and which cau only be had at his establishment. ILMSILL has received the spring fashions, and is prepared to furnish all who may call, whether man or boy, wholesale or retail, with hat, cap, or cane. John Sigler, of Decatur, will sell his stock, i &.C., on Thursday next. Johnston Thomas intends knocking down a few wagon loads to-diy at his store —a feat that will be worth seeing. [Want of room compelled us to omit the above notices last week.] In to-day's paper, Mr. EVERETT of Phila delphia, oilers an effectual cure for Fever and Ague. 11. 11. EI.DRIDOE, of Pniladelphia, lias a splendid assortment of Carpeting?,"Oil Cloths, Ac., which are offered at unusually low prices. Ki.-hacoquillas Female Seminary will open its summer session in May, under the charge of competent teachers, who will devote every | attention to the mental and moral improvement of its pupils. Allison's Railroad Hotel offers excellent ac commodation to traveleis and others, and de serves a libera! patronage. Win P. Milliken lost a watch, for which £5 reward is offered. FIROVKB &, Bcto., request attention to their exhibit ion of New Goods next week, which they calculate will he decidedly worth more to see than any concert that has been in town for some months. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral makes known its virtues —and sundry other notices also appear. After n few days of pleasant weather in the earlv part of the week, a cold rain set in, accompanied with snow, and the moun tains below town are again clothed in white. This morning tlie ground is frozen hard. The Canal was in readiness for boating on Monday, and a number of boats passed east and west, but Yesterday navigation was arrested by something occurring below —probably a slight break. The examination of the Male Depart ment of the l.ewistown Academy was held yesterday, and was well attended. The first and fourth prizes were awarded to Master Charles T. Ilale—the second to Master A. Hamilton, and the third to Mas ter Win. Wattson. The scholars exhibit ed a decided improvement, which spoke well for the reputation of the principal, *YV. H. WOODS, Esq., who has had charge of this department for the past two years. ORIGIN OF DANCING. —The dance, which nt the present d3j is so much admired as a diversion, was in its origin a sort of mystery or ceremony. "The Jews, to whom God himself gave laws and ceremonies, introduced it in their festivals—and the Pagans after them, consrecated it to tlieir divinities. After the passage of the Red Sea, jVioses and Miriam his sister, to return thanks to the Almighty for the preservation ol the people, and the defeat of the Egyptians drowned in the Red Sea, arranged two great dances, with music. One was fur the men and the other •for the women. They danced, singing the sub stance of the fifteenth chapter uf Exodus, and performed a graceful ballet. This may all be so, but we sur-pcet that the dances of ancient days were some thing else than the French style now in vogue of kicking up the heels. The daneee of the Jews and Pagans were, doubtless similar to those still practiced by the Indian tribes of America —and there fore are neither precedents nor apologies for the major part of lite gatherings now a-days dignified with the titles of balls and dancing parties. Let every tub stand on its own bottom, say we. Recent developments, says the Lancas ter Independent Whig, show the many modes in which the Commonwealth is swindled by the carelessness or corruption of the Canal Commissioners of the Slate. They pretend among other things, to give out the work on the public improvements to the lowest bidder. The Canal Com missioners were interrogated on this point relative to contracts on the Allegheny Portage Railroad. They made a reply which discloses the following fact: that | for the work on section 17 of the road to avoid the Planes there were four bids—one bv Burke A Gonder at 833,055 ; one by Lincoln, Long & Co. at 819,055 ; one by ! Kuppe &. Howley at $22,770, and one by O'Grady, Hurley <fc Co. at 821.830. ' The contract was awarded to Burke & Gonder, although the price they receive is 813,990 more than Lincoln, Long A Co.'s bid ; 811.785 more than Kuppe & How lev's, and 811,225 more than O'Gradv, : Hurley A Co.'s ! After this, let the peo ple hear no more about the honesty of Jo- , cofoeo Canal Commissioners. , I 7 . ! 1 A dog and a bear got into a fight in f Main street on Saturday last. Bruin is rather too young, and was for backing out ] bv running between the legs of a bystand er, but when the dog began to bite, lie | showed that he was old enough to make | • k his mark." At Washington, we see, : Congress had a-similar exhibition between two democratic bull-dogs from Mississippi, who got to pummeling each other on the floor of the House. Any legislative body : having respect for itself, would at once ex- ' pel all such violators of the dignity that ought to pervade its deliberations. Anv other course will but increase the evil.

IMPORTANCE or RECORDINO DEEDS.— l'lie Act of Assembly of the 18111 March, 1775, provides that all deeds and convey ances ol or concerning any lands, shall be acknowledged and recorded in the office for recording deeds in ihe county where such lands are lying and being, WITHIN SIX MONTHS AFTER THE EXECUTION OF SUCH DEEDS or conveyances ; and that every , such deed and conveyance that shall at any time be made and executed, and which ! shall not he proved and recorded as afore said, shall he adjudged fraudulent and void against an v subsequent purchaser or mort gagee, unless such deed and conveyance i be recorded as aforesaid. Col A. K. McClure has disposed of the Ju niata Sentinel—a paper his energy established several years ago. and which he conducted with much ability—with a view of embarking as a partner in the Chambersburg Repository and Whig. He will nd doubt rCTider himself use- j tul there, and probably give our friends of the I Valley Spirit an occasional nut to crack. A convention of citizens of this State and Maryland, in fnvor of extending the York and Cumberland Railroad to Sunbury and VVil liameport, assembled at Baltimore on Saturday afternoon —Gen. Cameron in the chair. A large number was in attendance from the counties bordering or. the Susquehanna. Pennsylvania Legislature. A proposition is now before the legislature f>r the lease of our whole line of public works. Four of the firms of principal transporters, at present doing business on the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh hine, are named in the proposi tion, which, in effect, i 9 to allow the Common wealth one million of dollars annually for ter years, for the use of the whole work; the money to be paid in monthly instalments. On the first year, SBOO,OOO is to be paid; on the second 900,000. The balance of the million on each year to be expended for the widening of the locks of ihe Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal, as well as on other sec tions of the works. The State is to complete the improvements now commenced and con templated on the Columbia Railroad and on the Portage Railroad. The same proposition oilers to pay 7 per cent, on the $1,300,(100, supposed to be necessary to the completion of the North Branch Canal. In the Senate, on the 11th, the bill to provide for the better regulation and manugement of the public works cauie up in order on third reading. Mr. Muhlenberg asked and obtained (lie unanimous consent of the Senate to change the title ot the principal officer contemplated by the bill from " Secretary of Internal Improve ments,' 1 UC'Comptroller of the Public Works." The bill was then read a third time and passed by the following vote : \ KAS. —Messrs. Baity, Barnes, Carothers, Carson, Crabb, Darlington, Guernsey, Hamil ton, 1 laslelt, Kinzer, M'Murtrie, Malone, Mat thias, Muhlenberg, Myers, Robertson, Shinier, SI iter, Walker, Speaker. —l9. NAYS. —Messrs. Buckalew, Evans, Fcrnon, Forsyth, Frailey, Fulton, Hamlin, lloge, Jones. M'Caslin, M'Farland, Packer,Sanderson. —13. On motion of Mr. Slifer, the bill to authorize an examination of the claim of Wattson & Ja cob and for other purposes was taken up. read a second and third time, and passed. In the House, on the 15th, Mr. Hunsecker from ihe select committee, appointed to in quire into the expediency of reporting a bill to abolish capital punishment, made i report at length, accompanied with a bill to effect the object proposed. The hill substitutes solitary confinement of long duration for the high order of felonies. lii the Senate, on the lGth, Mr. Frailey, from the Committee on Finance, reported with a ne gative recommendation, the hill relative to li censes for selling merchandise on canal boats. The hill authorizing the banks to issue small notes failed in the Senate by a vote of 10 to 17, but was subsequently reconsidered. The section authorizing the circulation of the small notes of foreign banks was lost by a vote of 7 to 26. The democracy lias got up an apportionment biil in the House making Bedford, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and Centre the 17th, and Blair, Cambria and Westmoreland the I9tii district. We do not think the bill will become a low in this shape. In the House, on the 17i!>, Mr. Miller, of Philadelphia, moved to discharge the Com mittee on Vice and Immorality from the further consideration of the hill in reference lo the sale of intoxicating drinks, similar in its pro visions to tlie Maine Liquor Law, and refer it to a Special Committee of live members. Mr. Scbeli moved to amend the motion, by instucti.ig (heCommittee of V ice He Immorality to report the bill on Monday next. A spirited and excited discussion ensued. Mr. Bunliain moved to postpone tho whole matter for the present. The question being taken, Ihe motion to postpone was agreed to —Yeas 45, nays 338. The Committee on new counties reported, with negative recommendations, the bill erect ing a new county out of parts of Berks to be ealietl Lee, and the bill erecting a irev county out of jwrte of Bedford, Blair and Huntingdon, to be called Jackson. A bill ws introduced to atmex partof Hunt ingdon county to Mifflin. The ship l'rentice, from Cadiz, arrived at New York, on Saturday, bringing as passen gers ninety-five of the American prisoners en gaged in the Cuban expedition, and pardoned by the tiueen ot Spain. They are mostly in excellent health. The contest now waging between the tem perance and anti-temperance men is sty led by an exchange us a war between Mume-iac? and Cogniacs. The Ciewers in Philadelphia have sent to the Legislature, a protest against the pas sage of the Maine Law in this State. FORTUNES UNCLAIMED.— A committee of the New York Legislature, after an investigation into the trust funds ol the Chancery Court, have reported that there is nearly a million and a half of dollars now held in trust; and that the right ful owners of nearly a million of this large sum are unknoim. Whose kin were in litigation there ? Are there none to speak? What are the New York attorneys about? INTERESTING TO INVENTORS. —The Paris Moni tcur oilers a prize of 50,01)1) francs for a discov ery that shall render the Voltaic Pile applicable, with econenty and industry, as a source of heat, to lighting, or to chemistry, mechanics, or med ical practice. All nations can compete for the prize for live years. ARREST OF AN ENGLISH FORGER. —\Vm. Henry Barrett, late sheriff of Gloucester county, Eng land, and a heavy corn factor, was arrested at Richmond, la., last week, on the charge of hav ing committed forgeries in England to the amount of $25,000. A reward of $501) had been offered for his apprehension by the British Consul at New York. A premium was lately offered by the State Agricultural Society for tlie best mode of irriga tion ; the word was, by a mistake of the printer, changed to irritation, when a farmer sent his wife to claim the prize. He said he would back her against all womankind for that particular accomplishment. Nancy Farrar, who has been on trial in Cin cinnati, for several days, for the murder of the Forrest family—a mother, a daughter aud a son —was last week found guilty aud sentenced to be hung. Petitions for her pardon, or the com -1 mutation of her sentence, have already begun to j pour in to the Executive of Ohio. It is a rare ' thing that a woman is.capitally convicted. Whig Meeting. Pursuant to public notice by the Chairman of the County Committee of the Whig party of Mifflin county, a meeting was held at the public house of Jared lrvin, in the Borough cf Lewistown, on Saturday evening, the 13th March, 1852. On motion of G. W. Pattton, GEORGE A. GREEN, of Brown township, was elected President, G. VV. STEWART, Vice President, and G. VV. Soei/r, Secretary. On motion of A. P. Jacob, Esq., GEN. VV. H. IRWIN was appointed delegate to represent Mifflin county in the Slate Convention. On motion of G. VV. Elder, Esq., the nomi nation of the Hon. Ner Middleswarth, as Sen atorial Delegate from this district, was con curred in. On motion of G. VV, Patton, it was resolved that the Representative and Senatorial Dele gates be inslrucied to vote for Gen. WINFIELD SCOTT for President. Major Buoy then moved that the Represen tative Delegate be instructed, and the Senato rial requested, to vote for WILLIAM M. LLOYD, of liollidaysburg, for Canal Commissioner. On motion of G. W. Patton, resolved, that we are firmly and decidedly attached to the union, and that we will maintain it. Adjourned. GEO. A. GREEN, President. G. W. SOCLT, Secretary. From the Baltimore American. Competition for the Presidency. As ihe period approaches for the nomi nation by National Conventions of candi dates for the Presidency, the manifestations of solicitude and all the alternations of hope and distrust oil the part of interested friends become very notable. At present the liveliest game is in the hands of the democratic managers, (.'ASS, BUCHANAN, and DOFULASS, divide the fates among themselves, and carry on a triangular war. 1 he House of Representatives, strange as it may seem, forgets to legislate, and even neglects the public business, so deeply is it engrossed in the contest going on upon its floor respecting the merits of Douglas on the one hand, and the " foeygu" his com petitors, on the other. I'lw excitement must, of course, be intense, when so in dustrious and business-like body as the House of Representatives allows itself to be drawn off from its habitual devotion to public duties- The friends of the high democratic competitors respectively do not scruple to charge all sorts of cheating upon one ano ther; and, in truth, if one should believe one half of the imputations he hears in the progress of this family quarrel, he would cotne to the conclusion that the best of these aspirants after the higliest honors is no better than he should he. The chief merit of Douglas seems to be that he has not lived so long as his veteran competitors, and for that reason has not had time to learn so much political knavery. Yet, considering his opportunities, bis opponents think that he made great proficiency, aud gives a fair promise of a ripe maturity in j his old age. The vote of ihe Pennsylvania Conven tion in favor of Buchanan raised that gen tleman's stock for a time—so much so that the lamentable complaints and expostula tions of the half-smothered Cass men in the convention found no great sympathy, and it did not seem to matter nvuch if they were choked, it was evidently a foolish j waste of sympathy to go into indignant heroics over a dead horse. But soon the aspect of things changes. We hear*from Louisiana that the Democratic Convention of that Slate has pronounced for Cass, while the name of Buchanan was an un- : uttered word and none were found to do j him honor. So the struggle goes. The interest of the scene deepens. It might be supposed that the gentleman who car ried too much weight in the last Presiden tial race would have so lively an apprecia- j tion of the emptiness of the honor of a nomination that his desire for it a second time, after having proved the delusive mockery of it once, would he tempered into a very philosophical condition. But it is not so. The sisterly emulation of ; (loneril aud Regan to exalt the expressions of their affection for the parental dower of , a crown was not more intense than the j jealous zeal of this worthy aspirant in be half of the people who are to reward some patriotic individual by electing him to the Presidency. Married. On Tuesday evening, March lGih, by Rev. J. Rosenberg, (Mr. JEREMIAH RICH W INE and Miss J. STAINER, both of Granville j township. Died. In East Pennsboro' township, Cumberland county, on Friday, sth instant, JOHN FIRO- , VED, Br., aged (34 years, 7 months and 9 days. 1 In this place, on the 4th instant, DAVID R. REYNOLDS, infant son of Myron M. and Martha E. Faxon, aged tour months. On Thursday, March 11th, LAWRENCE GULP, son of George and Jane Beck, aged ,7 days ; and on Saturday, March 13th, Mrs. JANE BECK, wife of John Beck, aged 31 years. The sudden death of this lady leaves a sorrowing husband to deplore his loss, and a large circle of friends to mourn her early departure for another world. May she rest in peace. On Sunday morning, 7th inst., in this bor i ough, WILLIAM CULBERTSON, infant son of George and Mary Longsdurf, aged 2 months and 4 days. Why smiled the babe in its dying hour. When it had not smiled in many weeks 1 It had faded away like a blighted dower, '1 he pallor of dcalii was upon ils cheek— lis ejes were glazing, and yet it smiled, And sweet was the look of the dying child. Why did it smiiel II had suffered much- Weak was its frame and its anguish strong. Did il smile a welcome to death's cold touch, Knowing its sorrow should cease ere long I No : for thai getille child knew not That pain and death are the common lot. But 'twas not death that the infant felt, When the smile stole over its pale sweet face ; For an angel's hand the stroke had dealt, And the babe was clasped in its bright embrace, And the smile was the shadow of glory cast On the laded clay as the spirit pass'd.

ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF PHILADELPHIA. —The New York Freeman's Journal ot last week announces, on "competent authority, that the Rev. Father Neumann, Rector of the Redemplorist Congregation of St. Alphonsus, Baltimore, has been decisively named tothe va cant See of Philadelphia." Dr. Neumann has hitherto expressed his unwillingness to accept the dignity. It his objections be overcome, the Journal says that " Philadelphia will have a learned, holy, prudent and devoted Bishop." At this season of the year no medicine is more necessary than DR. HOOFL ANO'x GER MAN BITTERS. The great stimulating power of these Bitters, and their properly of eradicating all impurities, and renovating the system, com mend them highly, and, in fact, all who would enjoy good health should use them. The press is loud in praise, of these bitters. We can in- i dorse all that has been said in their praise, and, ; from personal observation, we know them to be superior to the thousand nostrums forced upon ! the public through the medium of advertise ments. Dr. C. M. Jackson in Philadelphia, prepares this medicine. ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER ! Important to Dyspeptics. —Dr. J. S.
