.FREE Lovs---One of the isms of the opposition—has
got to an awful pass in Ohio. At a recent Convention in
Ravenna, one delegate said, "although she had one hus
band in Cleveland, she considered herself married to the
whole human race. All men were her husbands, and she
had an undying love for them." She said also, "what bu
siness is it to the world whether ono man is the father of
my children or ton men are! I have the right to say who
shall be the father of my offspring." This universal affec
tion creed is crossed with spiritualism and infidelity.

and energetic editor of the "Herald," whom we found bu
sily at work, being assisted by his "better half," who sets
type, rolls, and, although a lady, acts the "devil's" part,
generally. We were pleased with our visit to the Herald
office, but the consequence is a very flattering notice of
ourself in the last number of that paper, which is entirely
too much for our modesty—it made us blush! Yet we
pocket the compliment, with the understanding that the
gentlemanly editor won't do it again!
WASHINGTON Crrr, Aug. s.—The Shawnee Kansas Indians
having made their selections and locations of 200,000 acres,
in accordance with the treaty between them and the - Ignited
States, nothing now remains but the approval of the selec
tions by the President before the residue of the Shawnee
lands will be opened to sale and pre-emption. In view of
this condition of things, the Commissioner of the General
Land Office will shortly issue instructions to the Surveyor
General of Kansas to approve the plans and surveys, and
transmit. The claims of the white settlers who have al
ready gone upon these lands will not be recognized.
Itsrunxen.—Our friend Dr. Guirrurr, returned a few
days ago, from a tour through the West. The Dr. was ab
sent some two or three months, and during this time trav
elled over much of the Western country. The Dr. gives a
glowing account of Missouri, and says of the Northwes
tern counties, what has been said before, that it is, or will
bc, when settled, the best agricultural region in the United
States, the soil being from 1 to 10 feet deep. The tide of
emigration is turning to Missouri—emigrants aro leaving
Kansas and settling iu that much abused State. The Dr.
further says, the people of Missouri are kind and hospita
ble, with as little ruffianism as can be found anywhere
else.
The Territory of Nebraska.
The following interesting article concern
ing the Territory of Nebraska, we copy from
the Philadelphia Evening Angus, of the 28th
ultimo:
" The Territory of Nebraska was once a
part of the old province of Louisiana, pur
chased from the French during the adminis
tration of Thomas Jefferson, and ceded to the
United States in 1803. A territorial govern
ment was organized in Nebraska in 1854,
and Omaha selected as the seat of govern
ment. The progress of the Territory since
then has been gradual, and it now contains
a population of about fifteen thousand, and
real estate amounting to two millions, while
Congress has provided - for opening four Land
Offices in the Territory. The south line of
Nebraska is the 40th parallel, its north the
49th. On -one side is Kansas, and on the
other the British possessions,
a boundary
which will one day require fortresses and
troops. On the east is the Missouri River,
and on the west the Rocky mountains. Its
area is 335,882 square miles, a larger extent
of country having a government than any
other on the continent, and enough for seve
ral States. Physically it is divided into three
large portions; the first, a triangle, having
the Kansas line for its base, - with the Mis
souri for its eastern, and its ninety-sixth line
of longitude for its western side. The second
is between that meridian and the Rocky
Mountains, running north from the Kansas
line to the Black Hills. The third is the
north-west half of the Territory lying be
tween the Black Hills and the Rocky Moun
tains. In the first division are bottom lands
of extraordinary fertility, being a mixture of
sand and clay, carbon and large quantities of
decomposed vegetable matter, formin g a por
ous, black mould. The soil is easy of culti
vation, and very Productive. Two hundred
and fifty bushels of potatoes, or one hundred
and fifty of corn, are the products of a single
acre. There are numerous springs and streams
of excellent water, every quarter section of
laud being well irrigated. This region is
well timbered with oak and black walnut,
ash, cotton wood, willow and cedar. Its rock
formation is principally sand stone and lime
stone. It also possesses a red pipe-clay, soft
when first worked, but, on exposure to the
air, becoming as hard as a flint. There are
lime-stone quarries possessing the same fea
ture, and probably resembling the famous
stone of Caen, which is now being imported
in large quantities into the United States.—
This circumstance will, at no distant day,
have its due effect upon the architecture of
the Territory, and invite to elaborate work
manship in the construction of public and
private buildings. In addition to these there
are large quantities of white chalk, black
band iron ore, and coal and salt in various
sections of the country.
The second section is not so productive, a
large portion of it is represented as no bet
ter than a desert. One of the most remark
able features of this section is that of the
mauvai.9es terms, or bad lands, a depressed
portion of the surface, that seems to have
sunk down from the high prairies several
hundred feet, leaving everywhere standing
prismatic and columnar masses of the same
height, resembling the ruins of Hercula
neum or Pompeii, or an old European town
with narrow streets and lanes. To the
imagination of the romantic traveler some of
them resemble old castles in decay, with ac
tual turrets and buttresses, arches, clustered
shafts, and tapering spires. One might
imagine, says Mr. Owen, the geologist, that
he was approaching a magnificent city of
the dead. The third section lies between the
Black Hills and the Rocky Mountains, hav
ing a mild climate and a succession of val
leys, with the varieties of the soil like that
on the first section, that of the Yellow Stone
being the most fertile, with here and there
evidences of strong volcanic action, not yet
entirely ceased.
Its rivers are important. The Yellow Stone
is navigable for steamboats three hundred
miles from its mouth. The Missouri also
flows along its frontier, and the Platte or Ne
braska and its tributary, the Sweet Water,
so called from its delicious taste, are also im
portant streams, the Platte being. navigable
by steamers between Omaha and its mouth,
a distance of fifty miles. The river which
runs' rises in the bad lands, and runs an
easterly course for four hundred miles. On
its south side the lands are fertile. The win
ter is cold but short, the summers are warm,
but the air is tempered by the cool air from
the prairies. The climate is a healthy one.
The government has authorized an expendi
ture of $580,000 for various purposes within
the Territory, such as the military road from
Omaha to Fort Kearney, for the South Pass
wagon road, and for the public buildings."
The Democratic party itself is finally split
or splitting hopelessly asunder right in the
middle.—Louistille Journal.
The Democratic party can split "right in
the middle," either half will be more than equal
to the self named Americans. It can split
long way from the middle and the lesser half
will be superior to the Know Nothings. The
smaller half can be split again into quarters
and either part would be to the Plug 17gliea
as the mountain to the mole hill.—Courier.

Singular Affair---A Lost Daughter comes
to her Mother
We can only say that our own credulity
has been somewhat shaken, by the perusal of
the following spiritual developments, having
conversed with a person who was present at
the manifestation, and is not a believer.
STRANGE SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENTS,
Concerning the mysterious disappearance of
a young lady, by the name of Martha M.
Jeffery, who left her home in New York on
the 6th of April last, to go to her place of
business, but did not reach her destination,
and has not been heard of since. Her family
had searched diligently for her, and the New
York Herald, and other papers, both East
and West, North and South, have been very
kind in giving their aid in searching out her
whereabouts. Nothing definite thus far has
been received, but some of her friends atten
ded a spirit circle, where there were three or
four mediums. Neither one of them knew
anything of the missing girl. After the spir
its began to rap, and the alphabet called over,
one plainly rapped out "Martha," and ad
dressed her mother, (who was present,) in
the following manner, through a personating
medium, who went through all the agonies
of a horrible death; arose to her feet, her
eyes fixed upon her mother, began to dance
in the same manner, and even use the same
gestures that the missing girl did when she
danced. After the lapse of about five min
utes in imitating her in various ways, she
fixed her eyes again upon her mother, and
cried out in agony, "Now do you know me?
Is there any one here who will own me ?
Will you own me ?" and fell on her knees be
fore her .mother, with uplifted hands, and be
sought earnest forgiveness of her mother, who
sat all the while seemingly paralyzed, not
wishing to let the company know that she
thought it resembled her daughter, until she
cried out, "Will you own me ?" two or three
times ; when she said, "Yes, I will own my
child." She told her mother she met a man
by the name of Daniel Hays, while she was
going to her place of business, and he coaxed
her to go on board of a vessel, where she was
kept a prisoner four days, and he had tried
to gain his purpose, and finally gave her drug
ged wine, from which she never woke again;
he then throw her overboard when no person
was looking. She said, "Oh, dear mother, I
cannot tell you what they did do, or how they
killed me. Oh, it was awful!"
The medium then arose and came out of the
spiritual state, and when she was informed
of all that she had done she was mortified and
felt bad. The raps accompanied and corrob
orated all she said. The mother then laid
three daguerreotypes upon the table, and told
the spirit or the one that purported to be the
spirit of her daughter, that if it was really
her, to select out her own, from the three.—
She selected her own, and many other things
were selected in the same way.
She was also required to give the name of
a lady with whom she had some business.—
She spelt out the name, which was also cor
rect.
After many other successful tests all of
which were equally satisfactory, she said she
wished this made known.
The medium from whom this communica
tion was had, is a highly respectable lady in
this city, and one whose veracity stands un
questioned by all who are acquainted with
her. There were some six or eight other re
spectable persons present, none of whom knew
of the disappearance of the young lady, nor
anything concerning it. These are singular
facts, as far as the above statements, but
whether the young woman has been dealt
with as the purported spirit represented is a
matter yet to be known. If any one can fal
sify the above, they are earnestly and humbly
requested to do so to relieve the anxiety of
her distracted mother, and give the public a
chance to prove spiritualism false.
We give the description
_of the missing
young lady: She was betlireen 18 and 19
years of age, (looked not more than 15), light
Chesnut brown hair (inclined to curl), very
dark brown eyes (almost black), light com
plexion, round favored, low of stature, broad
shoulders, handsome form, very small hands,
is not sharp and bright in intellect as most
of young ladies, had on when she left a pink
striped dress, a red shawl—deep border,
plaid apron, straw bonnet, trimmed with
brown ribbon. Her supposed abductor is
low of stature, thick set, fair complexion,
sandy whiskers, speaks rather quick, and has
a singular expression of the mouth when
speaking. Any information that can be giv
en of either of the above parties will be thank
fully received by addressing E. Dolan care
of S. Lord, City Hotel, New London, Connec
ticut.

MANUFACTURERS DENYING THEIR OWN MER
ITS.-Our dry goods correspondent at New
York, calls attention to an evil that greatly
injures the reputation and sale of American
fabrics. The best specimens of domestic pro
duction, specimens which compare with the
best of foreign importation, and which ren
der high credit to American skill and taste,
are sold as foreign by the retailers, and only
the poorer qualities are exhibited as Ameri
can. Thus the excellence of American fab
rics go to enhance the reputation of foreign
goods, and to keep down that of our own.—
This ought to be prevented. The temporary
sacrifice which the American producer would
make by having his goods sold for what they
really are, would be tenfold repaid by the
reputation which they would speedily acquire
for themselves. This has been tried in other
articles, and with such success as should
leave no doubt on the subject. There are
American articles thathave struggled through
the same difficulties, and have reached a po
sition where they stand higher in our own
and the foreign markets, than the same kind
of articles manufactured in Europe. An
American manufacturer of edge tools has
lately recovered damages in an English Court
against an English manufacturer who coun
terfeited his trade mark. This shows the
value which the American producer can give
to his articles, and the folly of concealing his
reputation under an English name.
MARRIED A SQ,ITA.W.-A Lecompton, Kansas
paper, gives the following :
A young man of this city having become
tired of living in a state of single blessed
ness, went across the Kaw river a few days
since—proffered his heart and hand to a young
and handsome Delaware squaw (said to be
worth s2s,ooo)—was accepted, then went
right off and got married. This is a streak
of luck for our young man which will ena
ble him to live at his ease hereafter. We
learn that a few more squaws who are rich,
accomplished and handsome, say that they
would prefer marrying a white man to their
own red brethren. Now is the time for our
young and good looking gentlemen to marry
a fortune.
A School Teacher Cut to Pieces in Texas
A terrible affair took place about eight
miles east of Greenville, 'Yeses, on the 3d
ult., between a school teacher by the name of
Moore, and a man by the name of Howard,
and his four sons. kletter says:
" Moore undertook to chastise Howard's
son, about 12 years old, for writing indecent
language in a young lady's copy-book. He
had struck the boy but four or five blows with
a switch, when the boy's brothers came into
the school-house with clubs, and one of them
struck the teacher with a heavy club on the
forehead, and felled him to the floor. The
other struck the teacher several times while
down, but the teacher recovered himself and
got out his pocket-knife, and drove them out
of the house.
"But at this juncture the old man, two
other sons, and two sons-in-law arrived, and
the old man rushed into the house with a
large dirk pocket-knife. Moore begged How
ard to spare his life, telling him he was then
nearly dead. At this time Moore had a se
vere contusion on the forehead, and was cov
ered with blood. But Howard, disregarding
his entreaties, rushed upon him, and plunged
his long knife into him twice on his right
side, both of which wounds entered the cavi
ty. Moore broke from him, when Howard
cut him on the right shoulder, making a
frightful gash four inches long, and to the
bone. With all his wounds, Moore broke
from the house and ran twenty rods. The
boys outside threw clubs at him as he ran,
one or two of which hit him.
"Moore was a young man of slight make,
and poor health, who had lately come to the
State. He was a man of unexceptionable
character, and a successful teacher. He will
probably die of his wounds, a victim of re
venge, so low and despicable, that humanity
blushes at the recital."
A GREAT CALAMITY-CAMBRIA ROLLING
MILL RuaNT.D.—Our town received a severe
blow on Saturday afternoon, in the destruc
tion, by fire, of the mammoth Rolling Mill
belonging to the Cambria Iron Company at
this place. The fire originated by the upset
ting in the fire of some tallow which was
being rendered in the oil house, which was
in ose proximity to the Mill. The flames
from the oil house communicated with the
roof of the Mill, and in a most incredible
short space of time the entire structure was
enveloped in a sheet of flame ; and in less
than an hour the whole Mill was reduced to
ashes. Most fortunately there was a dead
calm at the time, or the probability is the
entire village on the "Flat" would have
been destroyed, and many hundred people
not only thrown idle, but been made home
less and penniless. The machine shop, cast
ing houses, blacksmith shops, and all the
dwellings belonging to the Works were saved.
The destruction of this magnificent Mill
is truly a calamity. Our whole community
will feel the loss. There is scarcely an indi
vidual who will not suffer from it, more or
less. We understand the Mill had all the
insurance on it the Company could get taken,
it being a description of property which In
surance Companies are wary of. It was
covered by insurance to the amount of $50,-
000, probably above one half of the foss sus
tained. Happily the foundations of the Mill
and its immense engines and machinery are
not materially injured,. and under the active
and indefatigable captain of the Works, Mr.
Daniel Morrell, the Mill, we doubt not, will
be making iron in the space of four or five
weeks.
The Mill had lately been greatly improved
and put in most excellent working condi
tion. An additional roller had been at
tached, which reduced the time and labor in
the rolling of the railroad bars one-half.—
At the time of its destruction the Mill was
making more iron daily than any other es
tablishment in the world. It was averaging
upwards of five hundred tons of railroad
bars per week, and could, by forcing it to its
capacity, make one hundred tons per day.
As we said before, the burning of this
Mill is a severe blow on the business of the
place. Its destruction is keenly felt and
universally regretted. Mr. Morrel, however,
the head and shoulders of this gigantic es
tablishment, views the calamity with the
coolness of a philosopher, and through his
indomitable energy the most implicit confi
dence may be placed in a speedy rebuilding
of the Works, and a full restoration of the
business of the place and a reviving of the
spirit of our people.—.Tohnstowa Echo.
CAUSE OF THE NATIONAL HOTEL DISEASE.-
The New York Acadamy of Medicine have
recently had under consideration the disease
which some time since prevailed at the Na
tional Hotel, Washington. It appears that
a paper upon the subject, from the pen of Dr.
Wayne, was referred too. committee of which
Dr. Reese was chairman, and. a report has
since been submitted. A belief is expressed
that the source of the epidemic was solely a
poisonous atmosphere, probably engendered
in the receptacles of offal and other filth, un
der the building or adjacent thereto, or in the
sewers, these having been obstructed by the
ice, or otherwise by neglect, until the accu
mulation of foul air or noxious gases involved
the atmosphere and around the building,
and, as in other cases of malarial exhaltation
severely and dangerously affected its in
mates.
The foul air the committee regard as the
one common cause, which exposed all who in
hailed it to a predisposition to the malady,
which itself was modified in individual cases
by previous health, and developed with great
er or less promptness and severity by excess
es, or indiscretion in diet, drinks, exposure,
&c., either of which might have been harm
lessly indulged in but for the universal pre
disposition induced by the atmospheric poi
son. And as it is "illogical to seek for some
causes for any effect than are necessary for
its production," the Committee are not wil
ling to admit any other poison than that
which the foul air of the hotel furnished, as
the common cause of all the epidemic visita
tion which has been suffered by our Wash
ington neighbors; and they commend to the
civil authorities there and everywhere, the
sanitary lessons taught by this pestilential
epidemic.
WEALTH OF ORGAN GRINDERS.—The tribe
of street musicians who daily grind "that
endless barcarole of "Poor Dog Tray," al
though often receiving more maledictions
than pennies, nevertheless contrive to make a
very respectable saving from their earnings.
:Many of them manifest a commendable fru
gality, and put their money out at interest.
The Sicilian consul at this port, Mr. Reggio,
has now upwards of $15,000 entrusted to him
by that portion of his countrymen resident in
Boston who gain their livelyhood by street
music—and for which he allows them inter
est at the legal rate. --Boston. Advertiser.

Sunday School Celebration at Spruce
EDITOR:-I had the pleasure of being
present at a celebration at Spruce Creek, on
Saturday the Bth inst., which spoke volumes
for the hospitality of the citizens of that vi
cinity, and plainly manifested the interest
they take in the moral and religious instruc
tion of their youth. Early in the morning,
the M. E. and Union Sunday Schools of that
place, assembled at Spruce Creek. Mr. H.
L. Harvey was appointed Marshal, and Mr.
Henry Conan, Assistant Marshal for the day.
The children being formed in procession un
der the care of their respective teachers,
marched to a beautiful grove a short distance
up the creek, where a stand bad been erected
for the speakers, and comfortable seats con
structed for the audience. Here they met
the Franklin Sunday School. Their ba . ilners
being planted in front of the stand, the ora
tors of the day took their seats, and the as
sembly was called to order by the Marshal.
The exercises were opened by singing and an
affecting prayer by Rev. A. B. Still, of Hun
tingdon; after which, Rev. John Elliott being
called upon, responded in a short, earnest
address to the children. Rev. A. B. Still
followed, with an eloquent address to the
teachers, setting forth in glowing colors, the
importance of their work, and the rich re
ward which awaits the faithful teacher. The
Marshal then announced that dinner was pre
pared at the "big spring"—a sparkling foun
tain which gushes out from among the rocks
near the place selected for the exercises of
the day. The scholars, led by their teachers,
approached in an orderly manner, the table
which was loaded with abundance of food,
and of such variety, as to satisfy the appe
tites of the most fastidious. After the entire
assembly had done ample justice to the boun
tiful repast, the aisles of the forest again rang
with a song of praise. Rev. Haughawout
being called upon, delivered an instructive
address to the parents. Master Plummer,
the "boy orator" of Tyrone City, was now
introduced to the audience, and harangued
"the people" as felarless and eloquent as
Cicero in the Roman forum. Mr. H. T.
White, at the request of the Marshal, ascen
ded the stand, and read some very appropri
ate toasts.
The exercises of the day being now ended,
the assembly was dismissed, and the children
in high spirits, scattered off to their homes,
to talk of the pleasant day they had spent at
the "Sunday School Celebration."
Yours, &c., LE11.01".
Ifir-Hoor-d-Itraae !—The editor of the Clear
field Republican, accidentally approached
within hearing distance of a score of young
ladies, a few nights ago. Ile listened, and
found it to be a regularly called meeting of
the ladies of Clearfield, to discuss the hoop
question. The editor succeeded in jotting
down the resolutions 'before he was discover
ed, and the cry of "a man" raised. They
are as follows, which we publish for the ben
efit of the sex generally:
WrEEREAs, We, the ladies of Clearfield, do
wear hoops; and
IVIIEREAS, It is right and proper that the
"whole world and the rest of mankind" should
know it; therefore
Resolved, That we're glad we've got hoops.
Resolved, That our hoops are perfect "bust
ers."
Resolved, That the sidewalks are decidedly
too narrow to admit of onr passing between
the thistles and grass which grow on either
side.
Resolved, That tho sidewalks must be wi
dened, the grass cut down, or our hoops dis
pensed with.
Resolved, That we won't dispense with our
hoops. •
Resolved, That our hoops are the wonders
of the world, and a long ways ahead of the
Insane Asylum.
Rinno_in.—The meeting of the officers of
the Tyrone and Lock Haven R. R. Co., was
held in Bellefonte on Monday, August 3rd,
agreeably to adjournment. We learn that the
work is progressing finely. The Engineer in
his monthly report, stated that eleven miles
of the road were ready for the ties, and but
three miles of the rubbing remains to be
completed. The estimates up to this time
have been promptly paid. The estimates for
July were about $BOOO, and orders were
drawn for their payment.
The road has now assumed a position that
insures its completion, and its friends are be
coming sanguine of the glorious privilege of
riding on a railroad through Centre county.
Hurra for Centre comity 1 Hurra for old
Bald Eagle and the Tyrone and Lock Haven
Railroad ! Our devil wants a pass, and we
expect a complimentary ticket. All aboard.'
Come, gentlemen, pay up your instalments.
DAVID IWILMOfs CIZOICE.—A couple years
ago, David Wilmot, the Black Republican
candidate for Governor, used the following
language:
" I am determined to arouse the people to
the importance of the Slavery issue, and get
up an organization through which they can
get control of the Government in '56 ; and if
.1 become satisfied that these efforts will fail,
and that the people will not assert their rights,
then I'll be if I don't join the party
that I think will send the country to hell the
quickest I"
re'- The Baltimore papers bring accounts
of desperate fights with missiles and firearms
between rowdy clubs known as "Rough
Skins," "Five pointers," and "Double
Pumps; also of one street murder, and various
affrays. The Express gives the following
designations of rowdy clubs in several cit
ies :
New York.—Dead Rabbits, Bowery Boys,
Forty Thieves, Skinners, Robin Hood Club.
Schuylkill Annihi
lators, Moyamensing Hounds, Northern Lib
erty Skivers, and Peep-of-Day-Boys.
Baleimore.—Plug Uglies, • Rough Skins,
Doable Pumps and Five Pointers."
Creek.
Woitin E.NoWnrc.—One podnd of green
copperas, costing seven_ Cents, dissolved in
one quart , of water and, poured doWn a privy
will effectually 'cbricentrate and destroy the
foulest,..smells. For water closets aboard
ships and steamboats, about hotels and other
public places, there is nothing so nice to
cleanse places as simple green copperas dis
solved under the bed in ahything that will
hold water, and thUs render a hospital, or
other places for the sick, free from unpleas
ant smells. For butchers' stalls, fish mar
kets, slaughter 'tenses, sinks, and wherever
there are offensive, putrid gases, dissolve
copperas and sprinkle it about, _and in a few
days the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat
or mouse dies about the house and sends
forth an offensive gas, place some dissolved
copperas in an open vessel near the place
where the nuisance is, and it will soon puri
fy the atmosphere. So says a cotemporary:
AFRAID OF A Gax.—Many years ago, in
the city of Providence, there was ii large au
dience collected within the walls of the old
theatre, (now Grace Church.) The perform- .
ances had reached the crisis wherein the
dreadful villain of the play was to be shot;
the fatal pistol was even pointed at its vic-i
tim ; the house was wrought up to the inten
.,sest excitement, and all was still as death.—
At this breathless period, a highly respecta
ble citizen in the stage box arose, and, ad
dressing thd hero of the pistol, while his
wife sat by his side, her cheeks ashy pale,
and a. thumb thrust into each ear, said :
" Mr. Duffy, Mr. Duffy, Mr. Duffy, don't
shoot the villain just yet For love's sake,
desist! Mehitable's afraid of a gun Wait
till we retire from the theatre !" The gun
didn't explode, but the audience did. Duffy
waited but they couldn't.
THE CROPS IN EUROPE.—The latest advi
ces from Europe are to the effect thatthe crops
in all parts of Continental Europe promise a
rich harvest, and that, as will be seen by the
reports of the different markets. In some
parts of Germany farmers have already be
gan to harvest their rye crops, and bread
made of new rye flour was in general use and
pronounced of good quality. The Tobacco
plantations in Southern Germany have been
much refreshed by late rains, and promise a
good crop. The Grape Vines in Germany
have ceased blooming and single berries have
reached the size of small peas. If the sum
mer should continue as it begun, the wine of
1856 will be outdone by the product of 1857
both in quantity and quality.
