- 40* Apress of job' work and the ab
sence of one of the editors during a part
of the week, has prevented ns from giving
that .attention to the local department of
onr paper which it should have received.
hove on hand a letter frona Utah and
other interesting items which we shall'
give next'week.
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.
We predict thdt (be day is coming

- 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.”

Newspaper.
The Allegheny Valley Echo is a new paper
just Alartodat Emlcntun, among the mountains
in the Keystone State. The editor says he
shall-not publish another paper for three, weeks,
as ho is obliged-to look up some paper, ink, &c. f
at Pittsburgh. His news record is comprehen
sive : We learn that the river is very low. and
fish plenty. Next Monday will be the first day
of our first Fair, and from all appearances, it’s
going to be a first-rate show; there’s to be. a
“ flying horse,’.’ a “ pearing mule,” and a “ tum
bling jackass” on hand, expressly for the bene
fit of the ladies; and “Gum” Davis is expected
to get drunk by the-time class G is attended to-
Our Mends, \ Messrs. Harrison, Morgan and
Harvey Sloan have been to a great deal of trou
ble and expense in getting qp a patent backac
tion anti-terrestial Pegasus, that’s going to fly
over the flying horse, and the sights and seers
on this occasion will undoubtedly crowd the en
closure. We shall give a full history of it in
our next. Matrimony has been greatly on the
increase for sopie time past, and after a while
something bo on the increase; several
rugs of Squire Murrain’s Mountain Dew have
left-town lately. Some scoundrels broke into
Mr. Goymley’s cellar, got some old fish oil in
stead of whiskey, left his garden gate open, and
an old sow entered and eat up all his squr kront
onLhe stalk. Warren money is now good, and
John Foi-ker’s potatoes didn’t turn out so well
as they might have done; there will be an av
erage crop generally. Ross Porter’s oxeri ran
off last night, smashing down some eighty reds
of fence; singings sre plenty, and ft child
was born up in the wilderness with a ribg In
its nose; the low stage of the river,' and the
rise of candle wick induces us to whittle our
splinters down to a point. Cash receipts of the

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. There was a free negro firing |n thst
county, who so-|me time since killed a while man
hoar Fort Smith, and Governor Hai-ris issued
orders to Mr.| Young Brown, Sheriff of that
couaty, to arrest him. He accordingly! with
two other men,",yrent to arrest him. When they
got near the house the negro ran to a crip irhere
he had fire-arms. 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

Is fbe Atlantic Telegrjiph a Fail
ure. •
The general tone of .thc p.resS sides of
the ocean, says tKo' ’regard*,
iug the Atlantic telegraph, is one of discourage
meat at the result of the enterpme, which they
rather hastily and unwarrantably pronounced a
failure. 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!
Thb practicability Of the enterprise once' Estab
lished, the mere pecuniary considerations con
nected with it sink info utter iinsignjfficoace
compared with the, great benefits which it.will
confer upon the wbrld, indepeudapt
of the other and grander results' Which "must
follow its successful accomplishment. •
