Speaker of tlie Kext House. Wehoticea number;.of papers recom mending Col. K. MoClurc, of Franklin coupty,.for Speaker of the next House of Bepresentatives. We are pleased to ob serve this apparently spontaneous move ment, believing him to be the very man for the position. Op the score of servi ces,rendered to the party on every occa sion, no man can present stronger, claims. The Col. Understands parliamentary rules and his quick preceptive faculties and even ness of temper point to him as the man fpr the office. There ip no man in the State whom we would rather see elevated to a post of honor or profit than Col. hfcGlure, or whom we consider more deserving. The writer of this hOa'reaspiu to know the man, having served an apprenticeship of three years under his.eare, at the printing busi ness and afterwards received advice and instruction from him whioh' has been of great service. Col. M-. is entirely a self made man, having risen from obscurity tp his present enviable position, by his own indomitable energy and perseverance.- We think it just and proper that printers should be rewarded for their services to their party, as on them fall the heaviest burdens during political campaigns, .and in,that capacity, Col. McClure has always proved himself equal to his responsibili ties. We have but little doubt that if the Col. desires the office he will receive it by acclamation, at least we hope so. Col. 1.. W. Uall. In the midst of the general rejoicing and the expressions of approbation of the efforts of indi viduals in regard to the late election in our district, we cannot forego the pleasure of pay ing a jnst and merited compliment to.Cbl. L. W, Hall, of Altoona. Ife was a hoble eharopion in the great cauke of |he people ; and assisted by his eloquence, power and strong arguments to preserve the 18th district in its political opin ions and save it from . the bauds of the spoilers. In season and ojit qf it, when called for. He was always ready. hnd wc must say, that his seal wascorameiidable : and worthy of the highest approbation'by thej opposition to the Lecompton and , anti-proteotlob party of this District.— While we take plcasureMn awarding,hiin .every neediof praise, it is not only us, hot it is upon the lips of hundreds. The people will not let the opportunity pass a hy, at the proper time, to do him justice for his noble and disinterested efforts in behalf of freedom' and a Protective Tariff. Long may he wave! — Whig. We mostbeartily subscribe to all that is contained in the above quotation* Col. Hall is one of the most promising young men, in bis profession,, .in this section of the State, and the bold and npble stand be took, during the last campaign, in favor ofright and justice served: to placeJum high in the estimation of bis own party, and gained tbe respect of bis political op ppnenls.' When - called upon to address publio meetings, bp is always ready. On all occasions be bajS exhibited abilities of no ooipbiop ordpras % logician and orator.

It Is generally admitted that Hoenen was the hettef man of the two and wovildhave gained the vic tory had he not been opnfined to his bed, far some six days previous fight, with a. sore lag. - The Pennsylvania Canait. —We learn from a reliable source that the Penn sylvania 'Company intend placing their portion of the late. State canals in complete repair by. next spring, and will hereafter aim to facilitate navigation to the best of their ability. The profitable business done on this branch of their improvements daring thfe present year has encouraged them to offer strong inducements to' boat men,, and with this view, they have con cluded to. transfer all their heaviest freight from'the railroad to the canal. The en tire Main is to he deepened, for the passage of the largest sixed boats, and we have good .reason to predict, from what bas been stated to ns, that the canal busi ness hext year willbeunusually lively. Morphy Victorious. —The tdlegram announcing that the match between Mor phy and Harwitz had been postponed for the present on of the illness of the latter, proves to be onroneous. If the Paris correspondent of the New York Timet can be believed, and he is generally consukredgood authority, the match is closed, and Morphy has been declared the victor. The correspondent writes thus: “ The great match in chess between Morphy and Harwitz has been decided in favor of the former. The games stood, 2 for Harwitz, 5 for Morphy, and I .drawn The fifth game was won by Morphy in twelve moves, when Harwitz; renounced any further pursuit. Anderescn and Heyldebrant have arrived here to play Morphy.” Death op Kimbeb Cleaveb.-VWc are grieved to announce, says the Harrisburg Telegraph, tbe {decease in the prime of life, of Kimber Cleaver, Jssq.

A Bear Treed by a Horse. —Says tbs Mich igan Watch Tower, bears are more numerous ibis season than for several years in the central counties of the State, and adventures with them are quite common. Mr. D. Cross, of Fairfield, who recently visited Eaton county, relates to us an affair which occurred four miles east pf Ea ton Ragids, which presents an example of ma ternal care by a mare of her colt, that is rarely exhibited by the horse kind, if it was not a hair hi cadth adventure. A mare with a colt by her side was feeding in a pasture, when she was ag proachod'by three bears,' an old one and two cubs nearly full grown. Alarmed for tbp safe ty of her colt, the mare forgot the usual fear of the horse for these animals, and attacked them With such vigor that they w».re forced to retreat They were pursued so closeiy that one of them was compelled to seek safety, and remain in a tree until the'owner of the mare, who bad watched the whole proceedings, went to the house for a gun, returned and shot.it. ’ l ’ B?&*.A Tragedy of a terrible character oc curred in Eontoco county, Arkansas,' a few days since.

One' of the sheriff's : party rah to the door of the crib, and seeing thei negro with a pistol presented, he ran away,’: and the the :other than that was with the sheriff then to lho door, when the npgro shpt him dead.

The French and English papers ridi cule our celebration in commemoration of the successful laying of the cable as premature, and point to the long silopco. whichbas followed the transmission of the last dispatch, as a proof of the unsuccessful termination of! the great under taking. ■ But should we never got'another word through the present-cable, Is itjpst to say that the 'enterprise has not succeeded, or that the practicability of the work Jiaft not been fully and completely established t Have not.tho me chanical difficulties which stood in the way been removed by Mr. Everett’s paying out machine! And although the electrical dejpartment has not yet succeeded in rendering that success perman ent, does , any one imagine that, the Atlantic telegraph is a thing 'of the past?—that it,is never to be revived ? Should the present cable never again' bo worked, and the present company be unable to carry the prise to a more successful termination, there are others who will he ready ah 4 willing to undertake the .task. The great benefits which telegraphic between this continent and Europe' must confer‘.upon both, form the best guarantee that could be-presented of its ultimate and permanent establishment;— But even if private companies were not to.ba (blind ready, to enter upon, the task, the English and American governments wijl’iake it Jn hand!
