Held on Friday evening, March the 13th, at
the Church in Stonerstowo, by .fas. F. Fay.
At an early hour the pupils assembled in the
School-room, opposite the Church, to await the
gathering of parents and friends. Ere the
light of day had entirely faded from the wes
tern horizon, the church, though spacious, was
crowded with anxious visitors. Old and young
assembled liomail parts of the neighborhood to
witness far the first time in their hi-tory, a
: "school exhibition." The pupils then marched
into t'je church, where apartments were cur
j tnined -fi fr their accommodation, and a stage
j erected, and beautifully .decorated with wreaths
and garlands. The time for opening having
arrived, art able and appropriate address was
given by the teacher, alter which the regular
exert F- s of the evening were gone through
with, consisting of 25 or 30 pieces, viz:—
Speeches, Orations, amusing Dial -.gues. ivc.. du
ring which time the special' rs by their eathu
| siasm and smiles of approbation, evinced their
I appreciation of the performances. The exhibi
tion was highly praiseworthy, and r--fleets credit
upon teacher and pupils. '1 he manner of de
livery, the coib'ctedness and en:: - .wire with
• which the various pieces were performed,
would have been credible to some of cur higher
institutions of learning. The scene was >n!i
vened at intervals with vocal music, bv Mr. and
Mrs. John, and Mr. and Mrs. Lew is, whose ser
vices- were engaged for the cicias: in, ar; : wb- to
singing need or.lv be heard to be admired and
highly appreciated. It was a source of much
: gratification to see the interest taken in educa
tion by the citizens of Storeistown and vicini
i ty, who say their schools are much better than
formerly, and improving under the present
I school system. tl.

LOVE AXt) Sl it IDE.
The particulars of a most romantic case of su
icide by poison, in consequence of disappoint
ment m love, came to light yesterday afternoon,
idie victim a young (1- nnan woman 22 years of
ag , residing at No. 21 Rivirigton street, had
j b-en deserted bv her lover, ui. se name s!.e
j would not reveal, but had endeavored to b ar up
; against the misfortune with true heroi.-m. Car-
I oline Jeulich—for such was the name of the un
fortunate woman—was beloved bv a voting (Mr
| man named Edward Sinister, who proflereci his
j hand in marriage, but the recollection of her
| la he lover was so firmly impressed upon her
1 mind, that although she received the attentions
of Sinister, ami signified a Willingness to h- c-wr.e
his bride, still in Secret she pined at the loss of
the a: sent lover, and secretly contemplated seli
• destriH-t ion.
According to Shunter's story h.e has been in
| the United States about six tn >nth<, and lad
-carcely known the deceased f>r tluee weeks,
being a machinist by occupation, he put sn ad
, vi-rlisement in one oi the morning papers asking
; Isr a situation. The mc- a.-ui answered to and
requested him to call on her. He did so, when
she stated that she had been deserted by her
lover, who was a machinist also, and that think
ing it was him who inserted the advertisement
asking for the situation, she was impelled to
. answer it '-villi the vague hope of being restored
Ito his amis once more. Fiom that time an in-
I timacv sprang up between the pair. Sinister
declares he loved her at first sight, and ever af
ter up to the day of her death. Miss Jeulich
pr f.-ssed ! - return his love, an-! h u i r ardent
i admirer to hope tor a happv uni m.

I tory of her conduct was found in her pocket,
and was produced in evidence upon the inquest.

if,-"" A gang of railroad robbers were lafi !y
arrested, on tiie lineof the Pittsburg, Fort VVvane
and Chicago road. A large number r.l the

gang would be stationed all along the whole line
of the road, between stations, and as tiie tram
came along (lie confederate on the train would
roD off a bale of muslin, cloth or such goods as
could he made most available. These goods
would be divided among members if desired or
otherwise sent to some of their depots establish

tiie proceeds divided among them. Nor were
1 their acts those ot robbery alone. Tin y sup
ped not at murder to secure their bm ly. Lv
them was Whitney mmdered at Londonvilie,
and Moore almost killed at Crestline. The
murderer of Whitney, it is said, is among the
arrested, now in W- .-st-r, Ohio, jail. Laige
numbers still unarrested, are closely watch

long to the gang and only wait for sufficient
legal evidence to justify their artest.

Ilsrriiburg, .March 15, 1857.
During my correspondence lor lh* "pennsyi
vniun! have re: - atedlv r- to th*- great
number of private bill< which are brought be
fore the Legislature. Th ie Bills qooSirt prin
cipally of acts of incorporation of ail kinds of
companies, di\ rce ! ills, and acts relieving seme
individual from doirg what common law says
lie ought to dt>, or xonerating him front a pen*-
altv which he has, ! v l is negect or stupidity, in
curred. F;r the last ten years it has been one
of the expressed priitciph > of the Democratic
party to discountenance and do away with this
speci--s of legislation, hut as yet have accom
plished very lit* i■ ,if any thing, in this respect.
True, that most odious and < irrupt system,
known as "omnibus bgiFasion," has uyd out,
hut still a propensity exists especially in the
II use, to leg is I ;!e on evry petty thing that can
he hn.rgbt within the j wer of the Assembly,
and what canri'-j !.e breught there? This is cer
tainly a great * * il. Local interests r.re made to
supplant general wants, a;. I members ent-r into
corrupt co:r hiuatio'is to carry cut their pet
ty scheme-, to the detriment of the interests ar.d
honor of the Commonwealth.
The remedy fir a!! this is with the people.—
They should select men to represent-them who
i ive principle more than pecuniary gains, and if
this were done, my word for it, the character of
t. e Pen: sylvar ia Legislature would soon he el
- 1 FT -- that tho men now in the
v "'ate Capita! are a? a l '!- and fc -nest as any that
have prece-md ;i, •; j . many years hack, but
tin y have not p: -p. r conception of their posi
ti .'it or slut: s. Ti.ey do r.i.l consider that a na
tion of *2,5110,000 people have entrusted their
government in th- ir hat.us. They do not think
that the constitution under which they act hinds
a member firm Blair county to dojustice to Phil
adelphia, ar.d r.-'d- v*r't. They do not act as
t: ..;h they had nut ; atrii tisra enough to em
brace the whole state of Pennsylvania. Mo;
many tnensl• rs seem to think that their whole
duty is to got all they rati for their immediate
constituents, oven if tin ir gain is the loss of eve
ry ot •r p- :ti :: cf tbe Commonwealth. This
is certainly an erroneous idea, and not only er
roneous, but injurious and disgraceful.
In the incorporation of tanks, f r instance,
! I and p-r- nal interests are alone consulted.
There are points in Pennsylvania, where the
business ami enterprise of the people require
.ing ;i stiloti >ris. These localities are rare,
while scores of iher institutions of this kind
are asked for mere spechlative purposes. If a
menru r representing a constituency whose in
terests actually require a Lank vote against these *
speculative demands, in almost every instance
tiie - of the latter make it a princi
ple to v- te against the former. Ihe law of act
ion ■ adopt on !>y grave-ieg Ldalors, is-the.childLdi
"if v u will T will: if \ n won't f won't."
f cannot n w recall a single important public
ill which 1 as keen finally acted upon by the
present Legislature. Two months and a half
of the session are g me, and tins whole tin.e has
been occupied with the consideration ofthpse pet
ty I.ills, excepting ontv a feu* prescribed duties
which the m- m* ers were compelled to perforttri.
1 <io not sav this through any unkind feeling*
but simply to call attention to the fact, with the
hope that the evil will he remedied. I believe
that the great majority of the members are iron
's! m-n—men who want to do right, but their
i h-as of legislative duty are entirely erroneous,
and to rtiiik" their good intent;, lis of any account
th- y must start out upon a.different path,
it v n!,! he a great advantage to our State to
have tri nnial s ssion* oft! • Legislature. II fhts
were done, many of these cas-. - which now come
here (wring ■. h winter wool-' be taken to the
( urts where tie v Led rig. and there be disposed
of. The might then become, a place
of legislate . at. ' n* tajda> to make soapb- tl
itrg a ,-ociati ns, and trv obscene divorce cases.

Of the n< mination of '■ hoi Justice Lew-is, it

be elected by a triumphant majority let us de
