cut up into convenient pieces.

Fasting.—Our old friend C. Couts and
family, living about a mile from town, was
compelled to fast on Sunday a week. Some
scamps entered his spring house on the night
previous and carried off everything eatable,
—bread, butter, meat, &c., leaving but a
solitary mackerel to commence upon on Sun
day.
IV hat's Wanted to make times better—Con
fidence. It is asserted and generally be
lieved, that there is now more specie in the
country than ever before. Where is it? As
soon as a few rotten Banks can be crushed
out and confidence restored, it will be put in
circulation by the capitalists and smaller
moneyed men who have it tied up. in their
stocking legs.
Chinese Sugar Cane.— .Lt Wheeling, on
Saturday, 50 cents per gallon was paid for
Chinese sugar cane syrup. This syrup is
said by the Hou. A. W. Venable, of North
Carolina, to be valuable as a preventive of
typhoid fever. He says a physician has as
sured him that where persons use much mo
lasses they are never subject to typhoid fever.
gar The Milwaukie llri,s.coimin, of -a late
date says :—" Throughout the pineries of
Wisconsin they are discharging their hands.
Lumber has not been in so large supply, and
so dull of sale, since 1850. Improvements
in cities and villages have, in a measure, been
suspended, and hence the glut in the market."
The same is true of the pineries of Michigan,
and hundreds of men are thus thrown out of
employment at the commencement a winter.
,IX65°-Wm. Cooper, of Harrisburg, was acci
dentally shot by his father near Lewistown
on Saturday a week while out gunning. The
father saw a pheasant, and shot at it while
his son was in advance, though not in a direct
line. A single shot struck him. in the corner
of the left eye, fracturing a bone, and thus
produced an injury to the brain which result
ed in death.
Protecting the Poor.—la Philadelphia on
Friday morning last, a small party of men
and boys paraded through the principal thor
oughfares of the city, bearing banners in
scribed, "We will protect the poor," and
carrying guns. Upon the top banner a large
loaf of bread was stuck. The party was ar
rested after creating considerable excitement.
It was probably intended for a joke, but it
was feared that it might lead to mischief.—
The arms were old fowling pieces, unloaded.
Looksng up.—No less than ten editors in
this State were elected to offices of " honor
and profit" at the late election. Brother San
som of the Fulton Democrat was the only one
defeated—and he was defeated by Brother
McClure of the Chambersburg Transcript.—
As an offset to the upward tendency of the
craft, Brother Bryman of the Chicago Demo
crat, was last week sentenced to the Peniten
tiary at hard labor, for four years, for taking
money out of another man's letters. He
was Post Master at Chicago.
Finance, Z-ade, &c.—There was a slight
improvement in monetary affairs on Saturday
last. A few new quarters made their ap
pearance in the streets and were soon "sock
ed" by the farmers. Old quarters, levies and
fips, are no longer refused by anybody.—

town, and is receiving the attention 4 two
or three of our physicians, with hopes of re
covery.
XiteiiirA valuable young horse owned by
Wm. Morgan of Walker township, was caught
by the cow-catcher of the locomotive of the
lightning train on Saturday night last, and
so badly injured, that on Sunday morning
the bystanders had him shot. It appears
that Mr.-Morgan, who was upon the horse,
made an effort to cross the track at the cross
ing at Portstown just as the train was ap-
proaching the place, but just as they were
upon the track, the cow-catcher struck the
horse, throwing the rider up against the
lamp and from there be was thrown some
distance to the left of the track, without re
ceiving the least injury. The horse fell to
the right of the track, with his left hind leg
broken in two places.
DrvoncE CASES.—Some months since we
gave a statistical account and character of
the cases in divorce instituted in the county
of Philadelphia, from 1846 to 1856, inclu
sive. They number about 2600 for the ten
years. These cases, from some cause not
apparent, have increased to an alarming ex
tent. The applications for divorce from the
bonds of matrimony have taken the place of
divorce from bed and board, a thing now
scarcely known. For March term of the
present year, there were 60 cases; for June
term there were 73; for September term 66;
and for the present, December term, there
are 30 cases, making for the year 229 cases.
Of these nine in every ten are brought by
the wives, and fifty per cent. only of those
divorced marry again. .
i That "Fearful Tudgment."—Sine weeks
ago we copied from an exchange, a statement
to the effect that a farmer somewhere on the
North Branch, had been struck speechless
while in a high state of excitement, produced
by discovering that the weevil had destroyed
the greater part of his grain. Since then
the story has lost nothing by being repeated.
We give the story as we last heard it. "The
man is still on the chair. Several attempts
have been made to remove him, by sawing
and cutting the chair from under him, but
the saws and as flew into thousands of
e 43
pieces as soon as th r — touched the rounds of
the chair. The man has turned into iron,
and a: close box has been put around him to
keep the rats and mice from eating him."—
Some say this wonderful man is in the ileigh
borhood of Mount Union. If he is there, it
is quite likely some of his neighbors will let
us hear the truth.
THE EXCITEMENT IN NE W . YORK.—New
York Monday Nov. 9.—This being the day
to which the leaders of the "hunger mobs"
limited the city authorities in giving them
relief, much excitement has been caused by
the failure on the part of the latter to take
action. The mob charges Mayor Wood with
humbugging, and threatened to drag him
out of his office. A squad of fifty police has
been sent for.
The Assistant Treasurer, Cisco, in conse
quence of the threats of the mob, has tele
graphed to Washington for troops to protect
the Sub-Treasury.
Nov. 11.—The police force are - ma:king an
effort to prevent gatherings on the streets.
Gen. Scott has been ordered by the Cabinet to
have the U. S. troops ready to protect Govern
ment property if the "hunger-mob" should
make an attack.
IMPORTANT TO A MAN WITH AN INSURED
LIFE WHICH ENDS ON SUNDAY.—In the Supe
rior Court of Massachusetts, (Suffolk coun
ty,) in a suit between John Hammond and
the American Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, the following points were decided:
" Where the premium on a policy of life
insurance is made payable quarterly in ad
vance, on or before noon of the first day of
each quarter, and the policy is to be void if
the premium shall not be paid, and if the
first day of a quarter falls on Sunday, the
premium is not due and payable until the
next day at noon.
" Where a person so insured dies on the
afternoon of a Sunday, which was the first
day of a quarter, without having paid the
premium for the opening quarter, the insur
ers are liable."
SUGAR FROM. CHINESE CANE.—The Chicago
Press says that sugar has been made without
difficulty from the sirup of Chinese cane, by
Judge Caton of Ottawa, and Mr. Andrews
of Chicago. They think there is but little
difficulty in causing the sirup to granulate
by a process much more simple than the one
patented by Mr. Wray. Everywhere the
manufacture of sirup has been a perfect suc
cess. Nobody has failed who has conducted
the experiment with any sort of care, and
the uniform testimony is that it is equal in
flavor to maple sirup or to the best produced
at the large sugar houses. It is also proved
that the cultivation of cane for this purpose
upon the prairies may be made as profitable
as almost any other crop. It is as easily
grown as corn, costing probably not one half
per acre what it does to grow the common
sugar-cane in Louisiana.
RELIC OF THE CENTRAL A3IERICA..---It is
stated that last week a body was picked up
on the Atlantic beach, a little to the north of
Cape Hatteras, having a belt around it con
taining gold dust. No doubt it was the
corpse of one of the passengers of the
ill
fated Central. America. Other dead bodies
have been seen floating in the neighbor
hood.
Fights and Murders in Memphis.
The Memphis papers of the 22d inst., are
hideous with accounts of bloody fights and
murders in that city. A man at the Fair
ground managed to let his horse become un
manageable and to run over and hurt a wo
man and two children. He stopped his horse
and was about to get out of his buggy and
apologise, when some one stepped furward
and gave him a blow with a cane. He drew
a knife and ran up to the crowd, asking who
struck him. A man named Butler avowed
himself the man, which, however, he was
not, and drawing a pistol, it went off by ac
cident, and shot in the stomach and fatally
wounded the man who had knocked the fel
low out of the buggy. The man killed was
named Mason. The one who bad started the
row by running over the woman and chil
dren, was a Mr. Lewis. 0 the evening of
the same day, there was a dT.Spute blittoween
two men, names unknown, and one plunged
a knife into the other. About eight o'clock
on the same night, at the Commercial Hotel,
Dr. Frank Gibbs and one Keene got into a
dispute, and from that into a fight, Gibbs
stabbing Keene with a bowie knife three
times, and killing him at once. Keene was
waiting to receive his wife and children who
had been placed on a steamer at Evansville,
expecting to meet him at Memphis. The
night before this tragedy, at the same house,
D. Cochrell, Esq., of the hotel, and a Dr.
Hooks had an affray, in which they wounded
each other with canes, and cut with knives
for a time, when Cochrell shot Hooks with a
pistol, giving him a dangerous wound in the
lungs.
SIMPLICITY OF EscLisir DRESS.—In the
families of many of the nobility and gentry
of England, possessing an annual income
which of itself would be an ample fortune,
there is greater economy of dress, and more
simplicity in the furnishing of the dwelling
than there is in many of the houses of our
citizens, who are barely able to supply the
wants of their families by the closest atten
tion to their business. A friend of ours,
nho sojourned not long since, several months
in the vicinity of some of the wealthy landed
aristocracy of England, whose ample rent
rolls would hive warranted a high style of
fashion, was surprised at the simplicity of
manners practiced. Servants were much
more numerous than with us, but the ladies
made more account of one silk dress Allan
would he thought here of a dozen. They
were generally clothed in good substantial
stuffs, and a display of fine clothing and jew
elry was reserved for great occasions. The
furniture of the mansions, instead of being
turned out of doors every few years for new
and fashionable styles, was the same which
the ancestors of the families for several gen
erations had possessed—substantial and in
excellent preservation, but 'plain, and with
out any pretensions to elegance. Even the
carpets, on many suits of parlors, had been
on the floors for fifty years, and were expect
ed to do service for another half century.—
With us how different is the state of things I
We are wasting an amount of wealth in this
country, on show and fashion, which, if
rightly applied, would renovate the condition
of the whole population of the world, and
christianize, civilize and educate all man
kind.— Cctlencler.
FEARFUL VENGEANCE.—The Wakulla. (Flo
rida) Times of the 4th ult., reports the fol
lowing singular circumstances as having re
cently taken place at Attapuigus,, in that
State :
" A gentleman, who had received a con
siderable sum of money, was compelled to
go from home, leaving his wife alone in the
house, situated some distance from any other
dwelling. Towards evening two negroes
entered the house, and demanded of the lady
the money, or they would take her life. Be
ing a, woman of great coolness, she saw at .
once that it would be useless for her to at
tempt to evade the demand ; so she produc
ed the money and gave it to them. The ne
groes then remarked that, as supper was
nearly ready, they would stay and eat with
her. She told them to be seated until she
got it ready. The woman had a vial of
strychnine in her cupboard, and in sweeten
ing their coffee, managed to put a dose of the
poison in their cups. They drank, and in
a few minutes were dead. The neighbors
were called in, and the negroes discovered
to be white men in disguise—near neigh
bors and friends of her husband, who had
known of his receiving the money, and of
his absence."
