iMPOBijANT Decision.—Last week

in reference to. an exemption
note, under the,act exempting from levy

note,,constituted a good and: valid exemp
tion 1 note, jind, in action of itresspass* for
the sale,ofj, property on sttch a note, in
structed the jury to find for the defendant.
The Judgej very properly stated that the
object of party making the note was
to waive an exemption, and it could refer
to nothing; else than the three hundred

temporary |of thh Nt. Glpud Democrat,
Minnesota; alluding to a paragraph going
the rpunds of the papers to the effect that
the Pennsylvania railroad .caned, ever so
many the post year , and did
not MU any of them, remarks as follows:
“ |fc;ean ! see nothing strange in this'fact; for
to lOnr. own personal knowledge this mad was
buUt for .the express purpose of carrywy passen
gers ;andnever made any arrangement ter kill
ing them. We cannot understand how people
can get killed on that road as long as they stay
in tbe Can and oboy the rales. For years that
road tins the means of conveyance between oar
office and residence, and-wo should as much have
CxpOOted to be killvd in bed at home as on the
; for we knew how it was built and how it
woe managed; and we do not believe any other
rood in this country, of anything like its length,
boors any comparison to it in either respect—
Tkey do nofcoaly not kill people on the Pennsyl
vania Central Road, but take great care to pro
vsnt pejpplefrom killing themselves.”

Hatiexsbcro, Jon. 17, 1860.
Making a Treasurer, canvassing the claims of
various gentlemen, to occupy' the Presidential
and Gubernatorial chairs, as well.as the non-or
ganization of .Congress, have sadly retarded
Legislation at the outset. When the State Con
vention shall have been held, then I presume
business will begin -in" earnest, and carried to
completion in the middle'of April, notwithstan
ding it was predicted that the session would be
an unusually short one.

Here wo hare the snug little sum of eighty
theufeand eight hundred dollars of/the peoples’
money appropriated to charities, all or nearly
all of which are Ideal in their benefits, and sug
gestive of speculation on the .part of those into
whose' hands these sums fail. Now, sirs, what
interest have the people'of the middle, or Nor
thern tier of counties/in "the Orphans’ Asylum
in Phtsburg, Lancaster, or Butler county, dr
the Penn Widow’s Asylum? It is very true
that nothing appeals so strongly to human sym
pathies as friendless children, but why should
the State at large be called upon to provide
only for those residing in certain localities?—
Why tyjtat once rear a State Asylum where Or
phans from all ports of the State may be cared
for?
■/1 believe I spoke pretty freely of the Penn (
Asylum last winter. ■ It is merely a first-class ]
Alms House for decayed aristocracy, where the i
recipients of charity -live on feed that would
make the tax-payers of the rural districts open (

ously signed. I have nothing against this insti
tution, bat I think that it, as well as all other
charities asking legialalive appropriations, should
make a fair statement of .their receipts and ex
penditures, and especially, let us kiiow the nnm-,
ber of officers, and the salary of each s one at

The election of State Treasurer came off on

Slifer, 81; J. W. Maynard, 42. This will make
the third time for Mr. Slifer, and suggests the
idea that he has been remarkably lucky. His
opponent ter the oaueus nominee was Hon. Hen

mation of bis neighbors, and all whoknow him, .

The State Agricultural Society met to-day tes

■ ■ SCENES.
WerTOndraift the'following account of the fal-
IS&efthe Pemberton Cotton Hills, at Lawrence,
Mass., on tbeerening of the 10th insl., from a
letter of ft corespondent of the New YorkTri-
Imme: ;■V' /;
' n IiAWBKKC*, Jan. ll—l 2 a. m. .
last nightvraaanight of the’most unparal
leled excitement, anti bat few of the citizens of
the Tillage slept, in the least All were busy
working at t&e ruins, men, women and children
doing their utmost to rescue the dead bodies of
their friends Mrom the ruins, or relieving the
Bufferings of those who were buried beneath the
pOe of rubbish;
■*’3Ehe first frightful crash coming suddenly, just
as the gloom Of night was gathering around, the
immense mash of broken and henry material cn
reloping so inany human beings, the number
killed in the violent cononasion, the. stiii greater
number probably wounded and inextricably en
tangled or covered in the rains beyond the pos
sibility Of extricating themselves, must enlist
the sympathies of every heart.
Then, too, fame whet must have been antici
pated,- by i discerning observers, the taking fire
of this great! mass of pitch-pine timber, end
plank, and other dry and inflammable material,
resting uppn piles of brick and crashed machi
nery, leaving $t in a position to bum most rap
idly, and forcing the thousands of people labor
ing to extricate the sufferers, to flee for their
lives from the raging fiery furnace. >
All this" is jh heart-sickening to think upon.—
The confusion, the agony, the excitement, the
glare of the games at midnight; and the efforts
to stay them, can be easily imagined, but the
most tragic description would fall far short of
the actual reality.
It is evident that the construction of the buil
ding most have been faulty in the extreme, add
it deems hardly possible that Us condition can,
have been properly observed for a long time, in
months and years back, or some warning would
have been found of the danger.
The main building was in the form of a paral
lelogram, and immediately adjacent to the store
houses of : the Washington Mills. It was built
of brick. Bud has always been considered one of
the finest milts in Lawrence.
The spanning rooms were high studded, long
and narrow,; without partitions, and crowded
with looms- ilt is supposed the strength of the
mill has been severely tried by the recent intro
duction of hejivy fancy looms.
It was originally intended that the mill should
coat $150,000 .to $200,000, but the plans were
enlarged, until finally the total cost was fully
$BOO,OOO. There was in the outset trouble with
the foundation, as quicksands are common on
the banks of the river at that place, and this
may have tended to gradually undermiue the
building., ;
There is considerable insurance upon the pro-1
perty destroyed, but whether the policies will I
hold good except for the loss by fire after the
building is for the future to determine.
Nearly! alii employment is suspended here to
day, except!, that of attending to the wants of
the wounded, preparing for burial the dead al
ready fodndj or searching for further victims in
the vast mouldering hecatomb which now covers
the site where stood the' Pemberton Mill.
The streets are thronged with citizens and
strangers, and crowds of people surround the
rains and besiege the doors of the to
learn the fate; of friends, or examine the bodies
brought out;for recognition. At the Hall, abpUt
twenty of the wounded lie on mattresses placed
on the floor," and are.attended by tbeir relatives.
These ’ unfortunates present a most pitiable
spectacle. Mbst of them hover between life and
death, and are so badly bruised by the falling
mass, or blistered by the flames, that recogni
tion is very (difficult. Others-escaped with un
mutilated features, and less serious bruises. All
who retain) consciousness exhibit remarkable
fortitude in their distress, and but few expres
sions of pom are heard among the helpless vic
tims., ; ;

In a roon) adjoining the large hall, seventeen
dead bodies; lie stretched upon the floor. Their
livid, blackened and blistered faces present a
picture of unutterable horror. Bending over
several of the lifeless forms were their female
relatives, bemoaning their loss with a low wail
ing, which jhelted the stoutest hearts.
The view; at the City Hall js but’ one instance
of the man]' scenes of suffering and death. At
the boarding-houses and Slher homes of the
operatives, the sad spectacle is repeated.
Before the fire broke out among the rains, the
voices of many persons were heard, who were
apparently ( confined in open spaces formed by
the material i of the bunding as it fell, and'who
appeared to lie not much injured. The progress
of the conflagration soon brought these impris
oned to a most terrible death.
The news! iof the disaster went like an electric
shock 6v«r|hh e «ity, and people commenced run
ning to;thespot/ The Washington Mills, near
by, were ehtirely ; deserted, and others in the ci
ty (poured (forth in excited throngs. Those on
the street (rushed to the place, stores were de
serted, houses left unprotected, and almost the
whole population gathered around the spot.
Those who could work plied hands and tools
bristly, all with heavy hearts and spirits sad
dened by tKe frantic cries of some for help, the
groans of the dying, and the disfigured corpses
of those who had bean killed.
As the bodies of the wounded, dead and dying
were taken; out, those which were recognized
were delivered to their friends, find such as were
not recognized were taken to the City Hall.
About 9 (o’clock a fire broke out from the en
gine room fit the south end of the building, and
soon spread over the whole ruin. The scene
now was h|art-Hiokening, according to every de
scription. ; Conscious of; the torturing death
which ia waited the unfortunates whose sufferings
had not been ended by death, the bystanders
were unable to afford them any'relief.
A few more bodies were got out, but only a
few, aftef -tbe flames had begun to rage. The
groans of the sufferers caused indescribable au
guish in the hearts of all around, and to them
were added the frantic appeals of some who
knew /they were gazing on the funeral piles of
relatives and friends, to whom no succor was
possible. |
■ An Alarm was sounded, the firemen promptly
manned the machines, and made every effort to
extinguiahthe flames. But the copious streams
of water dashing over the hissing ruins could on
ly prolong the miseries of those beneath. Though
confined within solid brick walls, assistance-had
nearly reached them when the fire broke out.
In one case one of those persons was helped
to a glass of water by parties who, were endear
voting to!; extricate them. She said that near
her, separated only by single beams, were six
six men, uninjured. Alas, they were all con
sumed in the flames, which spread with great
rapidity. How many were thus burned, there
is no data for estimating. A person who was at
tho fire from its beginning became cognizant of
three parties of individuals—from four to six
in number—who thus perished.
The vicinity of the mills -looks very much
like a vast charnel house, as litters, having on
them corpses, are constantly passing the afreets
in that vicinity. -
The hall of the city government building was
used as a hospital for such of the wounded as it
was deemed necessary to convey thither. Mat
tresses lined the ball on three of its sides, and
on them wore stretched nSkngled bodies, and
others not dangerously injured, but suffering
from painful wounds.
Kind-hearted ‘physicians ministered nncea
singly to them, and some, whom’ years of ptab
tietmight bare excused ftom life scusUiveueas
to the aafferiuMofothers, peVformudtheir offi
cwwith tearftQf eyes, compassionate countenau
ofls. and all the'gentleness of sympathetic na-
putts. *
■ A large rotma cs.one corner of the JboU had
been set apart «r a depository for tie pf
thedead, and this was literally covered with
mangled,eorpsesT Tosngnrc*r those past
the meridian: of life, isromen and young'girls,
lay there, a ghastly sight to behold.
! They lay as they had been jecovered from,the
rains,, some covered with blood, and others com
pletely disfigured:. Another" room below also
contained a number of bodies, and otkers were
removed as their friends claimed .them.
A committee..of twenty-five are canvassing
the boarding-houses of the city lo ascertain the
number and the names of all who are missing.
At the latest accounts dead bodies were contin-
ually taken from the. smoking ruins.
Previous to the lire, two sisters were together
and comparatively unhurt. They would have
been rescued. Hearing the roar of the flames,
they exclaimed. ‘‘Oh God! we have got to-die.”
Another woman shrieked out/piteoualy that
her hair was burning, but the flames soon after
silenced her.
It has already oeen stated, that one man cut
his throat lest he should be burned alive. Mr.
Branch told his friends who were digging for
him, that he should resort to tho-same means to
esape the torment of fire Ho was persuaded
.to desist, and fortunately was rescued..
The awful death of which some died by fire
was fearfully attested by their baked and black
ened forma when taken out—not in anything
like those of human beings.
Among the many painful incidents of this
dreadful night is the following, related by one
of the fire engineers. When the fire was begin
ning to rage, and before it had stifled the cries
and grpans of those in the ruins, be, with oth
ers, forced his way against the smoke and fire,
to try and rescue some of those whose voices he
could bear. . y
Suddenly he caught a glimpse of three per
sons, imprisoned by a crumbled partition^—two
men and a woman. He even caught one of the
men by the hand, and hoped to draw him out,
but the crackling of the flames around him, and
the waruing voice of an officer, impelled him re
luctantly to and by a timely retreat to
save his own life. Neither of the three persons
appeared injured at all, and they mast have lit
erally been roasted alive.
Among the sufferers in the ruins at the time
the fire broke out was Maurice Palmer, Roch
ester, N. If., an overseer. He was much belov
ed by his friends, and while the digging was go
ing on his voice was recognized.' lie was near
ly reached when the flames broke out. He im
plored his friends to save him quickly, or he
would die.
They struggled to reach him, but the flames
swept around them. He was confined, and he
could not assist them. As the heat of the fire
began to be felt, his horrible death seemed inev
itable. Ho was able to move one hand and draw
his knife, saying be should commit suicide rath
er than burn to death. j
His rescuers pressed on, but his hopo of aid
gave out, and he drew the knife acijpss his
tbroat. Soon after they succeeded mremoving
him, and his self-inflicted wound was found to
be not dangerous, but he bad suffered severe in
ternal injuries which rendered his recovery im
possible. Ho was taken to the City Hall, and
expired shortly after from the effects of the in
juries received by his fall, am| bis sufferings
while immured within the fallen walls.
Beneath the ruins many 'sufferers could be
seen and conversed with, and drinks and refresh
ments, in some instances, were passed to them.
When the fire spread over the ruins, and they
found escape hopeless, they bid adieu to their
friends, and in several instances gave directions
as to what dispositions should be made of their
property.
In one part of the building a bole had been
battered through the wall, and through it could
be seen tliree young women, who said they were
not injured at all. One of them thrust her arm
through the small aperture that had been made
and begged to be drawn through it, but before
the aperture could be made large enough for the
purpose, the flames drove awav the men on the
outside, and the prisoners per Shed.
Every train from every direction comes in la
den to its utmost capacity with living freight,
and when we consider that not less than one
hundred and fifty long cars have run in hero to
day, some realizing idea may be arrived at in
regard to the number of our visitors. But the
railroads alone did not contribute to swell our
numbers, for every kind of vehicle was brought
into use. „ .
In many of the surrounding towns and cities
not another horse was to be hired. The morn
ing and forenoon were busily used in removing
the rubbish, after being sufficiently oooled, in
order, if possible, to get tbb bodies known to be
still under the ruins. Quite a number were got
out, and, strange as It may appear, two persons
were taken out alive.
Early in the morning a squad of canvassers
were organized, and the whole city laid out into
small districts, and a pretty thorough canvgss
was entered into, the men going from house to
bouse, thereby ascertaining in every family
where persons were cither wounded killed or
safe. The summing up shows that 162 persons
are missing. 'This embraces all those known to
have been killed, and those of which no tidings
have been obtained. x
It is admitted by those who have gone into
the investigation that 62 persons are yet immo
lated in the bricks and mortar. One, hundred
and thirty dead bodies have been removed to the
City Hall, pr been delivered to recognizing
friends.

Wo do not think a person can evince a more benevolent
trait of character than being moved a| the distress and suf
ferings of others, and furthermore, anxious to do allin their
power w alleviate by every possible means human suffer
ing. In this view of the case, we do not know how the
humane and benevolent can do an, ac tion more in accor
dance with their philanthropise viejvs, than by calling the
attention of their afflicted frionds and'acquaiutances to the
fact, that Dr. Seth S. llisc*, of 10$ Daltinioro street,.Bal
timore, M. D. has discovered a preparation, which U put up
in the form of a pill, tliat has a specific action for caring
Epilepsy, or failing fits, spasms, cramps, and all forms of
nervous diseases. Amon&. those who- have been perma
nently cured, wo might mention a member of the family of
James 11. Beadle, Huntsville, Alabama; Mr. M. P. Sledge,
Cabin Point, Surry county, Va., and‘ Mr. W. P. Ligon,
Grenada, Mississippi. Wo ;might|gq 'on enumerating a
number of others, until wo had entirely filled up this col
umn of our paper; but we think We havC said sufficient to
satisfy every person that the subject/under consideration
is one of vital importance to everyone. Deader! if yon
are a well man or woman, and haVa 'no need of a remedy,
perhaps you know some person who Is not equally blessed
as yourself, if to, cut out this notice, and send it to him or
her. It will cost you but little trouble, and probably it
will make you instrumental in curing some poor, afflicted
mortal of-that dreadful visitation,; Epilepsy, or falling
sickness. ‘

found among any other civilized nation. The reason is
obvious. We take too little exercise, and forget the wants
of the body in the absorbing pursuits of business. In all
such cases, ordinary medicine can "dolittle good. What
la required is just such a tonic and inrigorator as Dr. J.
Hostetler has given to the world, in his CELEBRATED
“ BITTERS.” The weak and nervous denizes of the
counting-house, the exhausted toller upon the shop-bosrd,
and the prostrated student of the midnight lamp, hate
found a wonderful regenerator in the “ Ermas,” and prs
