Resolved, That he has labored successfully in imparting to us a practical knowledge of Book-keeping in all its various branches, thereby evincing a. power of communicative ness unsurpassed if equalled by any. Resolved, That our thanks are due him for his untiring zeal and energy in imparting in struction to us. Resolved, That we recommend Mr. Pollock to the public, as a gentleman of high moral character and excellent social qualifications as . a man, and superior abilities as a teacher in his profession. Resolved, That Mr. Morrison has proved himself to be a master of the art and science of :Penmanship, and in possession of a degree of skill and impartation second to none. Resolved, That his superior style of Pen manship, generous and successful efforts in imparting to us a knowledge of that beauti ful and useful science, his high moral worth and agreeable acquaintance, demand of us, a recommendation to the esteem and confidence of the public generally. Resolved, That these resolutions be signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the meet ing, that copies of them be presented to Messrs. Pollock and Morrison,.and that they be pub lished-in the American, Globe and Journal. A. L. GRIM, Chairman. Jos. Moams, See'y: Too Muca LAW.—One of the greatest cur sei'of civilized societies and governments ' is, too much law. Their archives are a lumber of statue books, the enactments of which of ten confound each other, and the interpreta tion of which keeps in existence a profession whose - whole policy is to keep up the compli cation of laws so that it will put common sense at defiance. The latest legislature, whether of a, nation or of a corporation, thinks itself wiser than all its predecessors, and, perforce of its mission, revises all their la bors. Often enacting new statutes -without ascertaining whether or not theyannur or con flict with those already existing, they make government, legislation and law, a puzzle a farce, and too often a down right curse.— Democracy- should study simplicity and di rectness, of all things, and a republic should have no laws that are not reasonable and clearly intelligible to common, sense. How true the saying, " That nation is best govern pd, which is governed least." The Poisoning at the National Hotel. Referring to the death of John G. Mont gomery, M. C. from Pennsylvania,' and to the continued illness of the collector of the port of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvanian says: "There are certain coincidences connected with this subject which are suggestive of the most horrible suspicions, but, for the honor of human nature, we hope they may be un founded. -Mr. Buchanan arrived at the Na tional Hotel on the 25th of January. On the 26th Dr. Hall was sent for to see the first case. A few days afterwards he had thirty-five ea ses, and quite a large number took sick, many of them after leaving Washington. Mr. Bu chan an was among the latter. The symptoms in all cases were the same—violent, copious purging, inflammation of the large intestines, with a constant disposition to relapse. "During an interval of several weeks pre vious to the second of March, no new case occurred. On the evening of that day Mr. Buchanan returned to Washington, and about that period the hotel was crowded with visi tors. On the 4th of March, the disease broke out with increased violence, and many hun dreds were affected:' The symptoms uniform ly indicate poison, which some physicians consider of a miasmatic, and others of a min eral nature—probably copper; No satisfac tory elucidation of the mystery has yet been made." While we are not disposed to give counte nance or currency to the dark insinuations which have been made by several of our most respected cotemporaries in regard to what is termed "the National Hotel poisoning," and while we are satisfied that most of the reports in regard i to this lamentable affair are great ly exaggerated, if not wholly unfounded, still there is sufficient left for a fearful reality to call for the strictest and most searching offi cial investigation. Such an investigation Should have taken place weeks ago. It can not with propriety or safety be postponed a day longer. It is alike due to the good name and best interests of the federal capital; and the city authorities owe it to themselves and to their constituents to meet the inside and outside pressure of public opinion in this matter promptly, energetically, and without fear or favor.— traskington, Union. .$3O 00 . 5 00 . 1 00 . 40 00 1 00 . 30 00 20 00 10 00 137 00 TiE DEMOCRACY OF PENNSYLVANIA.—We read our exchanges from this sterling demo cratic State with very great pleasure. They show that, in spite of all the efforts by the opposition to prevent it, there are union and harmony in the Democratic ranks-, and that they are daily becoming stronger and more spirited. The electors are becoming fully ,erisible. of the gross frauds practised upon them at the last election, and are fast leaving a standard principally sustained by gross de ceptions, and attaching themselves to the party of the Union. Leading men, as well as the rank and file, are abandoning the black flag of abolition and disunion, and arraying themselves on the side of the Constitution, Equal Rights, and the Democracy. With so noble and popular a leader as Gen eral Packer, the election next fall must re sult in a complete Democratic triumph. The opposition are now compelled to fight the bat tle without the aid of "bleeding Kansas," but upon the ground of principle, unaided by false news and manufactured dispatches. All is well in Kansas, in spite of opposition attempts to create new difficulties. The De mocracy of the Keystone State will confront their enemies and those of our free institu tions face to face, and in that event the re sult cannot be doubtful. The policy of the President she has given the nation and•that of the Democratic party in the State must triumph. No efforts of the Black Republi can party can save it from defeat and ulti mate annihilation.-Ilaskington Union. $l2 SW 2.'031 123 16 s:1(d j S SI, 201 (U) 1,4 00 16-, 00 173 00 slo3:i TILE R 31Ele S UG TER .—A few years since, a farmer living near Easton, Pa., sent his daughter on horseback to that town, to procure from the bank, small notes for one hundred dollars. When she arived there the bank was closed; and she endeavored to ef fect her object by offering it at several stores, but could not get her note changed. She had not gone far on her way, when a stranger rode up to her and accosted her with so much politeness, that she bad not the slightest sus picion of any evil intention on' his part. After a ride of a mile or two, employed in in a very social conversation, they came to a retired part of the road,and the stringer com manded- her to give him the bank note. It was with some difficulty that she could be made to believe him in earnest, as his de meanor had been so friendly; but the presen tation of a pistol placed the matter beyond a doubt, and she yielded to necessity. Just as she held the note to him, a sudden puff of wind blew the note into the road, and carried it gently several yards from them. The dis courteous knight alighted to overtake it, and the lady whipped her horse to get out of his power, and the horse which had been stand ing by her side, started with her. Ills own er a pistol after her, which only tended to increase the speed of all parties, and the lady arrived safe at home with the horse of the robber, on which was a pair of saddle bags. When these were opened, besides a quantity of counterfeit bank notes, fifteen hundred dollars in good money was found. The horse proved to be a good one, and when saddled and bridled, was thought to be worth at least as much as the bank note that was stolen. Mr John B. Ellwood, prominentpolitician in Rome, New York, of the Fremont school, has been spending some time in Kansas. In writing home to his friends, he does the ad ministration the justice to say: "_Furthermore I will do the administration the justice to concede that I do not believe they mean to interfere in behalf of the 'ruffi ans,' and which, as you know, I could not say of its predecessor. At least I will say this as fax as regards Secretary Stanton,who came in with us yesterday, addressed us on the boat before ariving here, and. also the citizens here after• his arrival. If be acts RS the in des of the administration, I repeat I think they mean to act fairly and impartially be tween the free-State and pro-slavery voters of the Territory. In saying this, do not un derstand me as relinquishing my conviction that Congress is the proper body to legislate for the Territories ; but, as that cannot now be hoped, it is to be left to the people of the Territory to decide as to the character of their institutions ; it is gratifying to believe that they will have a fair opportunity of doing so, and which has heretofore been denied them." Here is the most ample evidence that every pledge made by the friends•of the new admin istration has been fully redeemed. If every black republican would. be equally candid, and frankly speak the whole truth, we should hear no more of disturbances in Kansas; and the country would cease to be agitated in re. lation to that Territory. A Candid Confession. Capture of a Wild Man in Missouri. A St. Joseph's correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, tells the following story: "A wild man was caught last week and brought to town. He was surrounded in a sort of lair beneath a dense cluster of under growth like the habitation of a wild beast, and filled with the bones and skins of cats, which seemed to have constituted his princi pal articles of food. For this strange diet he has a peculiar penchant, and eschewed almost every other. He hunted cats with an avidity prompted by extreme voracity, and it vv . as in the pursuit and slaughter of these animals that he was first discovered. Frequent at tempts were made to capture him, but his agility and speed were such that he appeared to run on the tops of the bushes, and-fences offered no impediment to his headlong course. At length a great number surrounded and se cured him. He attempted battle, but' was overcome. When brought to the Court House he presented the strangest appearance con ceivable. His height was about five and a half feet; his hair long, -reddish brown and matted ; his eyes large, gray and restless; his finger nails as long as the claws of a tiger; his deportment crouching—half timid, half threatening—and his garments consisted of a thousand tatters of cloths, barks, cat skins, &c., bound together by cat-guts. He said he was from the State of New • York, and had been in the woods 39 years. While he-was being exathined, and was permitted to stand unbound, he made a sudden spring over . the heads of those who surrounded him, and dar ted away with the speed of the reindeer.—:- The crowd pursued him, but in vain. Over the hills he fairly flew, before both footmen and horsemen, until he was fairly lost to them. Nothing since has been heard of him. He is certainly a strange being, and is lit erally a wild man. His age can hardly ex ceed forty, and 'yet has lived so much .away from the society of man, that he has nearly forgotten his language, and has the most vague recollection of things. He remember ed New York, but did not know where he was, nor the form of Government under which he lived. TUE COMING ELECTION IN KANSAS.—The election in Kansas takes place on the 15th of next month. A Kansas correspondent of the St. Louis Republican writes on the 20th ulti mo as follows: The great question is, " Will the free-soil ers vote?" They have sworn that they will not. Should they persist, Kansas must ne cessarily ask for admittance with a constitu tion admitting slavery, or, at least, not pro hibiting it. The census act provides that no oue shall vote whose name does not appear on the corrected list of voters, prepared under its provisions. It is certain that they have refused to be registered thus far; and as they have but ten days to go on,' it is most proba ble that the pro-slavery vote, as shown by the returns, will be vastly in the majority. The truth is, that the policy of the abolition leaders is to let Kansas be a slave State, without an effort, for the purpose of keeping up agitation. This policy, dedicated at the forth, has been adopted in Kansas. Let Kansas come in as a slave State, as it must undoubtedly do, should they persist in the course named, and then what a hurrah and fuss they will make about the "extention of slavery." They will say, "we told you so ; it was the Object of the democratic party when they repealed the Missouri Compromise. Down with the slavery propagandists." Land Sales in Kansas. The President of the United States has is: sued his proclamation for the sale of the In dian Trust lands in Kansas Territory.—The sale of the lands held in trust for the lowa, Indians will take place at lowa Point, Doni phan county; on Wednesday, the third day of June next. A like sale will take place at Poali, Lykins county, of lands held in trust for the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Plankeshaw and Wea Indians, on Wednesday, the 24th of June next. Of the lands thus held in trust, under the treaty, forty eight thousand acres are withheld from sale, 160 acres having been given to each individual member .of these con federated bands; ten sections as a national reservation, and 640 acres, for the benefit of the American Indian Mission Association.— The last sales for the benefit of the Delaware Indians, "comprising the Western portions of the lands ceded by the Delaware Indians," will take place at Os.awk.ee, on Wednesday, the 15th of July nest. The sales will be for cash, and no bid will be received below the valuation placed upon the several tracts by the Commissioners appointed for the purpose. For the number of townships, and other par ticulars of the sale, the readev 4 iAuferred to the advertisement. —Mo. Republican. A VERY IMPORTANT LAND OFFICE DECISION. --We learn that the Commissioner of the General Land. Office made the following deci sion: - - . Proof required when 'native citizenship is disputed in the case of a pre-emption claim. The General Land Office, in addressing in structions to certain officers in Minnesota, on which the question was involved, instructed them to the following effect : " That the presentation of our native-born citizens of family records of births, &c., is not so universal, nor of such general practice as to justify us in insisting upon the produc tion of such a record as the only admissible evidence of native citizenship; that, therefore, where it is alleged under oath, that such a record does not exist, or is not accessible, re sort must be had to other and the next best and most readily available testimony, which may be the affidavit of a respectable person fully setting forth his knowledge of the claim ant—such as the period of time he has known him, and other facts which may produce the belief or conviction on the mind of the depo-, nent that the claimant is a native-born citi zen; and. where such a showing is satisfacto rily made under oath, the Land Officer would admit and act upon it as sufficient."—Waylt ington Star. STRYCHNINE IN Wit isKEY.—The Legislature of Ohio, just adjourned, passed a law which makes it a State's prison offence to use strych nine in the manufacture of whiskey. By the use of a certain quantity of this poison, mixed with tobacco juice, every bushel of grain is made to produce five gallons of whis key • while, with an honest distillation, the product is only half that amount. The black republicans did not think it worth while to legislate on the subject till they found out that it was the drainage from these strych nine distilleries that killed their hogs, causing the hitherto mysterious disease known as. hog cholera. Fish have also been killed in the Sciota river, at Chilcothe, by' the drainage from distilleries in which this delightful bev erage is prepared. chemist , says barrel Of it contiiinS strychnine enough-ta killthirty men.- Line upon Line--Here and There a Little HON' Jour L.

The coal dealers like the backward Spring. Their business continues to flourish. Camomxisn.—The manufacture of hoop skirts is shortly to be entered upon on a large scale at Sing Sing prison.— The requisite machinery for the purpose is being made,— Hoop skirts are becoming as much a staple as hats and shoes, and both ain be had at any time by calling at the Metropolitan Store of J. & W. Saxton. It is stated by the Lancaster, Pa., Express that a post mortem examination of the stomach of ono of the vic tims of the Washington poisoning, who died at Lancaster, developed arsenic—clearly. A company has been established in Paris to buy up the skins of rate. The hatters prefer rat skins, when pro perly dressed, to any other, and the hide is already used for the thumbs of gloves—being of better texture than kid. IN Tows YESTERDAY.—A Wedding Party from Broad Top. May the parties always be as gay, merry, and happy. To DUKE Drznaeltass—Send Republicans to Kansas.— They come back with the scales taken from their eyes. A late San Francisco paper says that, the churches there have determined to sing no more long metre tunes— they being too slow for the country and the people. RECRUITS FOR NICARAGUA—HY-INT BOUNTY.—Gen Walker offers a very large bounty to those who will join his fur tunes in Central America. Those who go thither will doubtless come in for a liberal share of the newly grabbed territory, (six feet by two at least,) without counting such luxuries as yellow fever,knife wounds, &c. Those who re main at home can enjoy its comforts and be enabled to make themselves elegant by patronizing the Metropolitan store of J.& W. Saxton. AN OLD STICK.—The Pittsfield Sun office has a composing stick made more than fifty years ago by Luke Noble, of that town, when there was but one Type Foundry in the United States—Ronaldson's in Philadelphia.

We think he has some thing more to say—sufficient, at least, to give the young and impertinent tool all the notoriety he desires. ll° will find there is no school like that of experience. tsar- The total number of emigrants sent to Liberia since the foundation of the American Colonization in 1820 is stated to be 0502, of whom 3676 were barn free, and 5500 eman ciqated with a view to emigration.

Indiana:- • " 26, Greensburg, " 25, Pittaburg May 22, 23, & 24, Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs. by Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hoopited, London. The great point in the treatment of all human maladies, is to get at the disease in the direct manner.— All medicines are estimated by their action upon the organ requiring relief. This is the important Met upon which Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take medicine directly into the stomach. if the lungs aro dis eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the applicatioupF this principle to the treatment of the lungs, for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells mid tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption, and other - diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted all treatment has been because they have never been ap proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in tended to act upon the lungs, and yet were applied to the stomach. Their action was intended to be local, and yet, they 'were so administered that they should only act con stitutionally, expending their immediate and principal ac tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcers within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach. or in- terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort, or business of the patient. Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them promptly curable.
