VENDUE ADVERTISING. ,
Major Frees of the Germantown Tele
graph, a paper that contains much useful
and practical information, speaks of tha
great advantages of advertising the tale ol
personal property in newspapers, as well
as by hand bills. Shrewd business men arc
well aware of this fact, and never fail to
benefit by it. In our opinion, administra
tors or others, who do not malts their pub
lic sales known in this way are guilty of
gross negligence and carelessness, as with
out advertising and hand bills the proper
information can not, and will not, be given.
The law compels the sheriff, executor or
administrator, to give notice by hand bills
and advertisements in the papers, lor the
sale of real estate, and we never could see
why the same was not required for the sale
of personal properly, which is often more
valuable, and certainly more fluctuating
than real estate.

SI MBt RY AXD ERIE RAIL. ROAD.
It will be seen by the proceedings of the
Legislature, that the supplement to the
Sunbury and Erie Rail Road bill has passed
Ihe Senate as it came from the House, by
a vote of 22 to 10. The amendment of
general Packer, submitting the right of
subscf.''t'on by corporations, lo a vote of
the people, '.vas rejected. Under the act,
as it was passed, th? Commissioners of each
County, and other corporate bodies, have
authority to subscribe to the Sfock of the
road. The general impression is that the
road will be speedily commenced. There
is now, certainly, a most favorable impres
sion every where, in regard to its merits,
and we trust this long delayed improve
ment will soon be placed in proper hands
and in such a condition that will ensure its
early completion.
OF.N. I ASS OX KON INTERVENTION'.
On Tuesday last in the U. S. Senate,
Gen. Cass delivered a long and elaborate
peech on the Hungarian question. The
speech covers the whole ground, and is a
very able effort, in favor of a declaration
by the United Slates, of the principle ol
public, law which should govern foreign
nations in regard lo inlermedling with the
nternal affairs of other nations. The Kos
suth doctrine is argueo. with great force,
without, however, committing the Govern
ment further than an expression of an opin
ion, leaving it free to act as it may think
proper.
IILOOMERISM.
The Cloomsburg Democrat announces
the receipt of an interesting communica
tion from Mrs. Lydia Jane Pierson, on the
subject of female attire. The Colonel
thinks it will meet the approval of all sen
sible ladies, and adds, "We are proud to
coincide with such dixtinrniUhable authori
ty, and think our lady readers, generally,
will approve her "position." That will
depend, Colonel, very much upon the
"position" she assumes. Should it be
"distinguisfwbU" we are inclined to doubt
the approval of sensible ladies, whatever
may be the opinion of gentlemen upon the
subject.
To MrcNn Iron Pots and Pans. A. cor
respondent of Ihe Scientific American gives
Ihe following receipt for mending broken
iron pots and pans, as superior to the Chi
nese : i s ' j
"Take two parts of sulphur, and one part
by weight, of fine black lead, and pnt the
sulpher in an old iron pan, holding it over
the fire until the sulphur begins to melt,
when the black lead is added, stirred well
until all is mixed and melted and then, in
its molten stale, the compound is poured ouj
on an iron plate or a smooth stone. When
it hn moled down it is very hard, and is
then broken in small pieces. A quantity of
this compound is placed upon the crack of
the iron pot to be mended, and by a hot iron
it can he soldered in Ihe same way a
tinsmiih solders his sheet. If there is n
small bole in Ihe pnt, it is a jrnod plan to
drive a copper rivet in it, and then solder it
over with this cement. I know a person
who mended nn iron pot by the above plan
upwards of twenty years ago, and he has
used it ever sinee." (

THE MAINE LKllOK LAW,
As this law, lately enacted in Maine and
now in force in that State, is-creating con.
siderable sensation throughout the different
States, we have thought proper to furnish
our readers with an abstract of its provis
ions from the general act, which is too long
for publication. It is a most stringent law
and under its operations, thousands of gal
jons of liquor have been seized and turned
into the gutter. In New York there
now a fierce contest going on for the enact
ment of this law, and a similar bill is now
or soon will be, before the legislature of
Pennsylvania.
The first section enacts that
"No persons shall be allowed, at any time
to manufacture or sell, by himself, his clerk
servant, or agent, directly or indirectly, any
spirituous or intoxicating liquors, or any
mixed liquors, a pari of which i inloxira
tin?, except as hereafter provided."
Section 2 requires "ihe Select men of any
town and the mayor and Aldermen of any
city, to appoint a suitable person as agent,
in said town or city, to sell for mechanical
or medical purposes, wines, spirits, or other
intoxicating liqors, &c." -and by Ihe 3rd
section, such agent, is required to enter into
a bond, in Ihe sum of six hundred dollars.
wiih two good, and sufficient sureties, for
the faithful performance of bis duties as
such agenl for town or city, after which he
receives his certificate of office from the
Select men or the Mayor and Aldermen as
the case may be.
The 4th section prescribes the punishment
for selling spirituous or intoxicating liquors,
which for the first Conviction is a flue of
$10, for the second $20, and for the third
20 and six months imprisonment.
The 5th section authorises ihe penalty to
be recovered before any Justice, and makes
it the duty of offioeis or select men of the
lown to enforce the law
The 6th and 7ih, prescribes the mode of
appeal and the proceedings ngaiust person
violating the conditions of their appoint
ments. Tho 8th section enacts that no person
shall be allowed to be a manufacturer of any
spirituous or intoxicating liquor, or common
seller thereof, without being duly appointed
as aforesaid, on pain of forfeiting on Ihe first
conviction, ihe sum of one hundred dollars
and the costs of prosecution, and in default
of Ihe payment thereof, Ihe persons so con
victed shall be imprisoned sixty days in Ihe
common jail ; and on the second conviction
the person so cauvicted shall pay the sum of
two hundred dollars and cows of prosecution
and in default of payment shall be imprison
ed four mom hi in the common jail ; and ou
the third and every subsequent conviction,
shall pay the sum of Iwo hundred dollars,
and shall be imprisoned four mouths in the
common jail of the county where the offence
was committad.
The 9lh seciion enaots that no ' lawless
rumsellers" shall be competent to set on any
jury, but he may decline lo answer, in which
case be will be discharged by Ihe Court.
The lOih seciion enacts that all such cases
shall stand first on trial.
- Tbe Uih section is an important one and
reads as follows:
If any three persons, voters in the town or
city where the complaint shall be made
shall before any justice of the peace or
judge of any municipal or police court,
make complaint under oath or affirmation,
keeper of such liquors shall pay a fine of j 0. Piivate letters from Liverpool, by the
twenty dollars and cost, or stand committed European, confirm Ihe advance in Breadstuff
for ihirly days, in default of payment, if in ! ns teleprnphod from Halifax. Holders have
Ihe opinion of the court said liquors shall j here pnt up Ihe prices of Flour 12J a 3
have been kept or deposited for the purposo rents per bbl It is eenorally believed that
of sale.
The 12th section provides that when the
owners of liquors seized are unknown, they
shall be advertised, &c.
The 13th seciion provides for an appeal
of claimants of seized liquors, and in the
case of any such appeal, where the quantity
of liquors so seized shall exceed five gallons,
if Ihe final decision shall be against the ap
pellant, that such liquors were intended by

and formerly of Kentucky. Mrs. Gaines, by
this decision, is declared to be the legal heir

The property embraces the lown of Hot
Springs, conlaining from 150 lo 200 inhabi

attended with serious consequences.
