It did not accept the question about the “little pig,” hnt peremptorily declined it; and the President of the Society—a nice young man with a pensive countenance and a boss voice—sung, on motion of a vegetarian mem ber, that fine old song, Excavate swine or per ish." The next question for discussion is, Which is the more forcible expression: "It stuck like death to a dead nigger,” or, “It at tached itself like the grim King of Terrors to a deceased individual of color?” Great insti tution that Muncy “Parlor Debating Society.” The Luminary sqys: “We took a short ride into the country sev eral days since, and we do not recollect of ever seeing the wheat crop look more promising at this season of the year than it does now. We have also conversed with several of our farmers and all speak hopefully of an abundant crop.” P. Buehler of Williamsport recently killed a hog that weighed 711 pounds.

When Michigan repudiated Lewis Cass, Bu chanan took him into the Cabinet. When old Berks repudiated dehu Glancy Jones, Buchanan rewarded him with the Com mission to Austria, When Indiana repudiated John Pettit, Bu chanan made him Chief Justice of Kansas. When lowa repudiated Geo. W. Jones, Bu chanan offered him the mission to Bogota. When lowa repudiated Aug. Caesar Dodge, he was made minister to Spain. When the Pro-Slavery party failed to estab lish Slavery in Oregon, Buchanan made its leader the United States District Judge.” Rogers of the McKean Citizen, who has been spending the winter at Harrisburg, in a recent letter to his paper speaks of Mr. Mann our Representative from Potter County thus: “A better representative no constituency “ could boast of. When in health he was always “at his post, and always found battling for “ what he considered right. A man of more “ strict integrity and honesty of purpose was “ not generally supposed to occupy a seat upon “ the floor of the House.” Wo learn that a short time ago, Mr. Dan Ba ker, of Ulysses, found thirty pieces of various patterns of Chinese coins in a single chest of tea. We saw one piece, which was about the size and shape of an English shilling, though thinner, having various Chinese devices on either side and a hole about j inch square cut in the They Were on a string, wo be lieve, when found, and evidently found their way into the chest by accident,—perhaps they were the entire worldly fortune of some poor John Chinaman, with which he had purposed to buy his week’s supply of “rat-soup” and “dog-steak,” Who knows!— Journal. ‘M>A-*R“B-3>;E-r>- At Mansfield, Tioga Co., Pa., April 27th, by the Rev.

Notice auh W* IKen, THE ANXIOUSLY-LOOKED FO BAND IN TENSELY EXCITING TILE OF THE REVOLUTION! NOW BEADY! THE SWAMP FOX; OB THE Rebel Riflemen. A TALE OF THE TIMES & FEiTS OF MARION. BY GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ.,; Author of “The Orange-Girl of Venice," “The Swamp Steed,” “Buhe the Ranger,” &c., Will be commenced in the NEW YORK MERCURY OF SATURDAY, APRIL. 30,1859, Now Ready at all News Depots and Bookstores. No character in history offers a better for the roman cer, than that of Marion, or, as ho was familiarly called. “THE SWAMP POX/’ from the immense ingenuity of his stratagems and devices for misleading and deceiving the enemy, his thorough knowledge of the woods, forests, fields, and swamps of his native region, where he and bis gallant hand were perfectly at home, while their enemies be come lost and bewildered in the labyrinthine mazes of undergrowth and morass. The story above announced is a true reflex of those scenes and times, and its talented author has most viv idly portrayed, therein, the many exciting incidents and accidents of a tenacious and indefatigable straggle for Liberty, pursued under the most adverse circum stances. Every chapter is replete with exciting and romantic interest, historically accurate, but with a sparkling web of poetry woven through it, which makes it at once a brilliant' story and a veracious record. The strongly-written descriptions of events —the ambuscade —the sudden sortie—the night attack —the wild charge and repulse—are all wonderful as examples of word-painting, and equally true to the actual facta. A In addition to these scenes of* heroism and lofty da ring, the SWAMP FOX is not without the gentle charm of a love-story, for the working and the effects of the tender passion are depicted in Its pages, as truly and artistically as the sterner emotions, rendering the tale a perfect picture of life and character in the Bays of the Revolution, which cannot fail to appeal to the admiration, and gratify the taste of every reader who has a spark of true patriotism in his soul. The peculiar power and interest with which the gif ted author, GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ., describes the thrilling period, is a guarantee of excellence of truly magnificent Historical Romance. The vivid delinea- , tion of character, the depth of thought, the facination of style, the picturesque beauty of description, and, in a word, the power of language he commands, all com bine to render him one of the moat brilliant writers of the age, while his great appreciation of and sympathy with the pioneers in the cause of universal liberty give him a grasp of Revolutionary subjects poscssed by very few others. This has enabled him, in the SWAMP FOX, to exhibit the life and adventures of MARION AND BIS MEN as they really were, and to do fit homage to that delib erate valor, that unyielding patriotism, which, in a few noble spirits, defying danger, and above the scenes of privation, could keep alive the sacred fires of liberty in the thick swamps and dense and gloomy forests— asking nothing, yielding nothing, and only leaving the field the better to re-enter it for the combat! We take to ourselves some credit, for having secured for our columns the i chefs d'oeuvrea of this master’s pen, but we intend to give the NEW YORK MERCURY a still higher prestige than ever. We believe it is al ready the BEST AXD BAREST STORY PAPER in and we contemplate making it betterand better every successive number, in spite of all ex pense and opposition. ZNY7AGED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE UIW TO3BIS SMOTSTb At n very heavy expense we have succeeded in securing tbe CELEBRATED POET, AUTHOR AND TOURIST, whose charming letters from foreign lands hare long kept the world delighted and interested, BAY AUD TAYLOR ESQ., who will hereafter make the Mercury the only recip ient of his inestimable I SKETCHES OF TRAVEL, - one of which will appear EVERY WEEK. We hare tbe happiness to announce, therefore, that in tbe NEW YORK MERCURY FOR APRIL 30, 1859, will be commenced STRA7 CHAPTERS LIFE AND*TRAVEL' BY BAYARD TAYLOR. the initiatory article being entitled “The First Journey I Ever made.” which is considered by the author—as itunquestionably will be by the public—to be his most interesting ad venture since the original outset of the GREAT AMERICAN TRAVELER, and cannot fail to be of interest to all. These delight ful articles will be BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED with original designs, in the highest style of the art, portraying the scenes and characters described in the most graphic manner. This new feature is a most valuable and instructive one, suited to both young and old, and will render THE NEW YORK MERCURY worthy of a leading place, as the mostrefined and ele gant of all FAMILY PAPERS, Since the first announcement of our engagement of MR. TAYLOR, we have received a fioop of inquiries from all parts of the Unioo,rclative to the enterprise, showing that public expeetion is on tip-toe to learn the particulars regarding the character of hia contri butions. As it is impos_sible fur us to answer these in detail, we can only refer our friends and correspon dents to the Sfew York Hercury for April 30, where the firstof these sparkling ami popular sketches will be found. As no other American has ever traveled so exten sively as Davarr Tavi.oh, and no other traveler ca» see things with- the eyes of America, wc need not fur ther eulogize the value of the.-e emenutions of his mind and observation, to the reading public. It is sufficient to say that they will greatly enhance the high character that the MERCURY ha? ever maintained, and that has heretofore rested upon many causes, some of the most important of which may be summed up as follows: THE MERCURY is the oldest and most firmly es tablished literary journal in America. THE MERCURY, during the Twenty-one years of Us prosperous existence, baa published a large number of popular original tales, romances, and sketches, than all its imitators combined. THE,MERCURY must be seen, to be appreciated, and we are fully determined to make Its name “fa miliar as a household world," with every family in the land.
