Resolutions
At a meeting of the students of the liun
tingdon Commercial School, held in their lec
ture-room, on the evening of the 20th of
March, A. L. GRIM was called to the chair,
and Jos. 111 . onitis appointed Secretary, when
the following preamble and resolutions were
offered and unanimously adopted:
WnEnnAs, Mr. Pollock, Principal, anti Mr.
Morrison, Professor, - are about dissolving their
connection with us as teachers, and purpose
removing to a new field of labor, we deem it
a duty we owe them in gratitude to give a
public expression of our regard and esteem,
in such a manner as will at least convey a
faint idea of our feelings on the occasion.—
Therefore,
Resolved, That in Mr. Pollock we have
found a
of
of superior abilities as a
teacher of Book-keeping and mercantile com
putations, having, as we believe, a thorough
and critical knowledge of those important
and interesting sciences.
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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Line upon Line--Here and There a Little
HON' Jour L. DAITSON.—The numerous friends of this
distinguished gentleman will rejoice to learn that he has
recovered from the fearful illness- which he contracted
{vhilo a guest at the National Hotel in Washington, iu
February last. In a letter date(' the 2d inst., he speaks of
his almost complete restoration to health.
NOW IN PORTEITONTIL—A handsome assortment of goods

generally. The "ancient borough" will soon spread her
self.
TUE WArtat annics.—Gen. Wilson, at considerable ex
pense, is fitting up the Warm Springs in a handsome style
for visitors the coming season. Mr. Isaac Hill will be on
band to make visitors feel comfortable. We predict a rush
for these Springs as soon as the watering season commthi-
ces.
Lams Bus=ss-mEs.—The Canal basin—covered with
boats loading with Broad Top Coal. When that other ba

Already we are at least a one-and-a.-half horse town.

WELL SATISFIED.—The people generally throughout our
county with the election of Mr. OWEN as County Superin

ti The Hon. Augustin Hall of lowa stands at present
the most prominent candidate for Governor of Nebraska.
VALUE OF A CLERGY:SIAN ore Onnoos.—lntelligence from
Oregon Territory states that Father Pandosy, a Catholic
missionary, was taken prisoner by Skloom, an Indian
chief, who demanded for his ransom two white women and
two hundred sacks of flour.
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

A company has been established in Paris to buy up

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. This stick is
almost as good as new. It has been used in setting up
HCaueratic matter, and is likely to be for the next centu-

ENPECTS TOO MITIL—The toot of that "spiteful and ill-tem
per-d" clique in Tyrone, if he thinks that Mr. Greene will
take any notice of hint. But, little as he is, 'Truth Teller"
informs us that he will be disappointed if his communica
tion is treated with contempt. 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.

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.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of Stomach
and bowels, &a.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
