The County Teachers' Institute commenced
its session at the public school house on
Mdbday - . The attendance of teachers•is not
as large as was expected. The proceedings
will be given in our next.
There has been several cases of small-pox
in the county: The only case on Broad Top
was a woman, and she died some two weeks
since. There has been several cases at the
mouth of • Spruce Creek. , This dreadful dis
ease has not been iu this immediate neigh
borhood.
Our town has been quite lively for the past
few days—but the sleighing is gone and we
may expect a calm again.
We learn that our friend Brewster has
found his pack-book—it was carelessly laid
away in his office. He has also discovered
that his missing type are in a sink hole in
the rear of his office.
rieirThe number of hogs packed at Cin
cinnati this season is estimated at four hun
dred and fifty thousand head, against three
hundred and forty-four thousand' five hun
dred and twelve last season. The Cincinnati
Price Current has returns from one hundred
and sis. packing places in the West, inclu
ding Cincinnati, and make the whole num
ber packed one million seven hundred and
sixty-nine thousand two hundred and ninety
two, against one million - four' hundred and
ninety-one thousand two hundred and fifty
five last year. The whole number packed at
all the places reported last year was one
million eight hundred_ and eighteen thousand
four hundred and sixty-eight ,and the previ
ous year two million four hundred and.. eigh
ty-nine thousand five hundred and two. The
whole number of places reported last year
was one hundred and ninety. This is an in
crease in weight of from three to twenty
pounds per hog at nearly all the places heard
from, and, as a general thing, the yield of
lard has been over that of last year. There
can be no doubt that there is an increase in,
weight, as compared with last year, of not
less than four per cent.
By telegraph, we learn that the Pacif
ic Hotel at St Louis, was destroyed by fire
on the morning of Saturday last at 3 o'clock.
About one hundred persons were in the
house, between forty and fifty of whom are
anlssing
The fire caught in the drug store under the
hotel, and the flames spread so rapidly before
the inmates could be roused, that the stair
ways sere enveloped by the fire, and all
egress was cut off except at the windows.
Many leaped from the third story and were
horribly mangled or instantly killed, and ma
ny more were unable even to reach the win.-
flows, and were burned in their rooms.
,Several of the wounded cannot possibly re
cover. The loss of property is upwards of
$50,000.
The only Question for Democrats
Does the Lecompton Constitution express
the will of the people of Kansas? Have the
people of Kansas ever had an opportunity to
express their disapproval of that constitution ?
Did not the people, at a legal election on the
4th January, decide, by a vote of three
fourths of the voters in the territory, their
utter abhorrence and - detestation of that in
strument? If so, no Democrat can consistent
ly favor that Constitution.—Chicago Times.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
MoNDAY, Feb. 15. Senate.—The bill grad
uating the interest on land, on which pur
chase money is due the Commonwealth, passed
second reading.
house.—A petition of ninety-seven citizens
of Pittsburg, connected with Iron-manufac
turing, was presented, praying that pig-iron,
blooms, ore, cinder, fire-clay and fire-brick,
may be exempted from the payment of the
tonnage-tax. Petitions from Dauphin and
Philadelphia counties, of similar import, were
presented. Also, numerous petitions were
laid before the House, asking for a change in
the License Laws. Citizens of Luzerne coun
ty have manifested their disapprobation of the
County Superintendency, by praying that the
law may be repealed so far as that county is
concerned. By resolution, the House agreed
to hold afternoon sessions on Tuesday after
noons, for the consideration of private bills,
and on Thursday afternoons for public bills.
A resolution was adopted calling on the heads
of department for an estimate of expenses for
the current year ; stating the salary of clerks,
the amount of time they are employed, &c.
There is an evident desire on the part of our
legislators to cut off all unnecessary expen
ses, and reduce as much as possible the an
nual expenditures. This is commendable if
properly carried out. There are very many
leaks in the public treasure-box, and in at- •
tempting to stop them, it is to be hoped that
our law-makers will not " save at the spigot
and let out at the bung." The Senate amend
ment to the House resolution, fixing the 13th
day of April for the final adjournment of the
Legislature, was not concurred in. So the
matter will rest for the present, and an ad
journment earlier than that time need not be
expected, unless all the business before the
two Houses • shall have been disposed of. A
petition from citizens of Dublin and Spring
field townships, Huntingdon county, was of
fered, praying that portions of said townships
may be annexed to Fulton county. Mr. Nill
read in place a bill embodying the desire of
the petitioners, which was referred to the
committee on judiciary. Mr. Shaw read in
place a bill authorizing Justices of the Peace,
with a jury of six persons, to hear and final
ly decide criminal offences of a minor grade.
The House bill relative to the graduation of
unpatented lands, was considered. Mr. Craw
ford moved to amend by substituting the old
law, when the subject was postponed.
TUESDAY. Senate.—CreSSlVell and Schell,
each, presented a petition from Hunting
don county, asking a modification of the pres
ent License Laws. The resolution which
passed the House yesterday, requiring the
Clerks of the two Houses to prepare an esti
mate of expenses of the Senate and House,
was agreed to. Bill No. 62, which provides:
" That no person shall he 110,1 iluionipeteut to give tes
timony as a NV( on account of his religious belief;
but evidence thereof may be given, as heretofore, to affect
his credibility,"
Came up on second reading and discussed by
Messrs. Scofield, Wright, Buekalew and Finey
in favor, Messrs. Harris and Finney against.
In advocacy of this bill, Mr. Buckalew made
a powerful speech, replete with unanswera
ble reasoning and argument. He sheaved the
importance and necessity in this free country
to set aside and abrogate any and every reg
ulat:on which interfered with men's con
science or required aquiescence in, or sub
mi-sion to, the dogmas of any religious sect.
He said this was a measure of justice, not
only to the witness, but the parties in suit
who desired his testimony. The hour for
adjournment arriving before the question was
disposed of, the Senate rose.
House.—Bills from Huntingdon county, as
fellow, viz :—Authorizing the Canal Commis
sioners to examine the claims of Kessler,
Whitney - & Co., John Gemmiil and Israel
Graffius, and incorporating the Huntingon
Wa',er Company, passed first reading. On
second reading, the two first named- bills
were lust.
VtE D DAI7. Senate.—Mr. Gregg, from the
committee on Education, reported with a
negative recommendation, the bill attaching
Samuel - Gladfelter of Fulton county to Clay
township, Huntingdon county for school pur
poses.l Jude , -1 rilkins offered the following
resolution which was referred to the Select
committee, viz : _
Rtvolred, That the immediate admission of Kansas as a
State of this Union, with a full and complete recognition
by Con; the act of admi-,ien of the rights of the
people of Kansa.: orer their own Constitution, would nit .et
our Marty approbation. and ought to restore peaceand quiet
to the people of the States of the Union.
House.—The Huntingdon Water Company
bill passed finally.
THURSDAY. .Senate.—A supplement to the
B. T. M. R. R. & Coal Company, was
reported.
llouse.—Petitions for the repeal of the ton
nage-tax and for the abolition of the County
Superintendency, were presented. Mr. Nill
presented a petition from citizens of Dublin
and Springfield townships, Huntingdon coun
ty, praying that portions of said townships
may be attached to Fulton county. The Ju
diciary committee reported negatively the
bills authorizing Justices of the Peace to try
certain offences with a jury. A bill was re
ported fixing the fees of County Surveyors ;
also a bill extending to the School Directors
of Walker township, Huntingdon co., the
powers conferred on the Directors of West
Pittsburg.

DEATH IN A DENTIST'S OFIAIR.-MT. J. Mc-
Chesney's death in a dentist's chair at Taran
to C., W., on Monday last, while under the
influence of chloroform, has been stated in a
telegraphic dispatch. He desired the extrac
tion of six teeth, but would have no opera
tion performed by the dentist (Dr. M. D.
French) unless placed under the influence of
chloroform. He was told its dangers, but
strenuously insisted on his point, assuming
all responsibility. Accordingly it was ad
ministered in the usual way, by a sponge to
the nostrils of the patient. After a short
time he began to laugh, and when asked the
cause said "he could not help it, seeing those
fellows (meaning the dentist and another
person) laughing at him." It was then
thought he was sufficiently insensible to com
mence the opperation of lancing the gums.
He winced under the lancing, and the chlo
roform was again applied, and the teeth re
moved. But as soon as this was done, he
was seen to alter in appearance, his eyes be
came fixed, the jaws fell, respiration ceased,
and the heart's action stopped. Every possi
ble attempt was made to restore animation,
but to no purpose. A coroner's jury exoner
ated the dentist from all blame, as it was
shown that the chloroform was voluntarily
inhaled, and that more than ordinary care
was used in administering it.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 1858.
The Lecompton investigating committee
met again last evening. Propositions for in
vestigation, under the terms of the resolution
of the House, were, one after the other, tabled
by a vote of eight to seven. Then, contrary
I to the intimation that a report would be made
this week, the committee, without in any way
going to the accomplishment of the object for
which they were raised, adjourned until Wed
nesday next. It would appear that the ma
jority of the committee are uneasy under the
strong feeling excited iu the country against
the injustice of the Speaker and their own
unfairness, and that now they have exhibited
their fear to go on as they have begun, by
the adjournment for so long a time, which
they carried.by their one majority. The ob
jection to prosecuting an inquiry into the facts
connected with the Lecompton Constitution
was mainly that there was not time, and 'to
show how well founded this objection was,
the committee threw away seven days.
Whatever ground there was a few days
since for the Lecomptonites to believe that
they could pass through the House the
contrivance which they support, it has now
slipped away from them, for at this moment
it is obvious to the most careless 'observer of
transpiring events that Lecompton must soon
meet a blow more terrible than that, only one
week ago, in the resolution wich ordered in
quiry into its wickedness and oppression.—
Men from the South, and from the far South
ern States, will vote against it. They admit
and learn that they have hesitated too long,
but that their decision and their votes will
make up what they have, before failed to do.
With strength gained by those who support
the great principle of the Kansas-Nebraska
act, not only in the North, but in the South,
since the test on Harris's resolution, and the
promising signs for the future, it is not an
extravagant surmise that ere another week
rolls by the votes against Lecompton will
reach two-thirds of the members of the House.
The Lecomptonites cannot disguise this fact;
they published it by a postponement of their
causes which was to have met last night, and
by the adjournment of the investigation com
mittee. All idea of rushing things through
with a high hand is reluctantly given up for
want of power to effect their purpose, and it
may be that the endeavor hereafter will be to
save the Constitution from a sudden and de
served annihilation.
[Correspondence of the Press.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 1858
There is an unexpected, and it may be in
surmountable, difficulty in the speedy execu
tion of the programme of Senator Green and
the Lecoinptonites. It was their intention,
and is still, so far as I can learn, to press the
Lecompton Constitution through the Senate
without the least delay, and then, that it shall
be as hurriedly rushed through the House.—
Unfortunately for them, however, there exists
the widest difference of construction amongst
the Lcomptonites in respect to the power of
the people of Kansas to alter and amend their
frame of - State Government prior to 186=1, the
time which it prescribes. Some Northern
Democrats, who have gone with them thus
far, refuse to go one step further, unless the
people there are empowered by law, in a man
ner admitting no contrariety of opinion, to
throw off the incubus of a hateful Constitu
tion, which nobody pretends to support, as
embodying the " consent of the governed."
The ultra Southern men, the followers of the
Richmond South, the New Orleans Della,
and the Charleston Mercury—who, at the be
ginnino. of Mr. Buchanan's Administration,
reviled him in every way, imputing the most
improper motives to his public acts—now
that they see a chance of securing Kansas as
a slave State, advocate his Kansas policy,
and refuse to make the slightest concession
to the other side, each moment fearful that
the prize will slip away from their grasp.—
Calhoun, only a few days ago their idol, to
whom they offered up all praise, is, by his
recent letter, consigned by them to everlast
ing infamy ; they hate him for evincing a
willingness to correct the fraudulent returns
from Delaware Crossinw 'D when the fraud had
been made as clear as day to everybody.—
One wing of the Leann ptonites then insist
upon a declaration in the law against the
1861 provision, while the other wing as
strenuously resist it. To heal this division
in the ranks at this critical moment was the
moving cause fur the call of a Democratic
caucus which was postponed, and when it as
sembled at last, gave by its debate no hope
of a compromise on this point. It was again
called fur Wednesday last, but no ground.
having been gained toward the. object sought,
it was postponed to the call of the chairman.
There is an overwhelming majority, when
the question comes squarely before the House,
who will vote in a provision empowering the
people of Kansas to change their Constitution
whenever they please to do so, and when
this shall be done, and the question will re
cur on Lecompton, as amended, there will be
arrayed against its passage a large number
of Southern members. Under the circum
stances, no Northern member can refuse to
vote for such a provision, least of all can they
when their constituents understand. the posi
tion assumed by Toombs, of Georgia, and
others in the House as well as in the Senate.
If Lecompton, say they undisguisedly, be
the Constitution under which ansas shall
be admitted as a State into the Union, then
slave institutions fur the next Six years are
implanted there, to grow and fasten them
selves upon all matters of domestic policy, re
gardless and unaffected by the popular voice.
They are there by supreme law, and to touch
them is to inaugurate revolution and aggres
sion upon the South, against which Southern
States will do more than clamor.
is rumored that one or two Louisiana
members have joined the anti-Leeompton
ranks.
Washington is afflicted with the duelling
fever. This disease has broken out with
great virulence in this city at various periods
of the Government. The last attack occur
red immediately after the Mexican war was
closed. Since then, the social relations of
politicians have rarely been interrupted by
sentiments of personal hostility, causing the
ready staking of life against life upon politi
cal. differences. Never before, however, has
there been more bitterness and ill feeling
than that now entertained on all hands. The
town is kept on tip-toe with rumors that Mr.
A and Mr. B had some words, and have gone
to Virginia, where Randolph and Clay went
and fought, to adjust their differences a la
code d'honnear, or that Mr. C and D have
taken rail to John C. Rives's farm to have it
out on the Bladensburg duelling ground,
where Cilley and Mason and others fell. In
truth, society begins to grow uncomfortably
Tipperaryish.

about being organized in Baltimore.
Teachers' Institute
According to a previous announcement, a
full representation of the Teachers of Crom
well, Springfield, Dublin and Shirley Dis
tricts, convened at Orbisonia, on the 28th,
29th, and 30th of January, 1858.
Mr. James Baker was appointed President,
and Mr. J. Weight, Secretary. After which
Mr. Owen, County Superintendent, delivered
a short and elegant address, on the character
of Teacher's Institutes, - which exhausted the
first evening.
FRlD4kY—forenoon.—The subject of Orthog
raphy was introduced, and discussed by
Messrs. Owen, Kong'', Nelson, Beers, and
Campbell, with considerable vivacity. A
great amount of interest was displayed by
Teachers and parents on the subject. The
subject of Reading was next introduced by
Mr. James Norris, who urged natural read
ing, and the adoption of the conversational
tone, where it is required. But in all cases
let the tone be natural and agreeable to the
subject ; let the reader realize the subject,
and put himself in the position of the speak
er, or plant himself in the scenes he would
wish to describe. Adjourned.
Afternoon.—The subject of Reading was
continued. Discussions in rapid succession,
by Messrs. Campbell and A. Nelson, followed
with a motion of Mr. Myerly to form a class
for criticism. This subject, after being very
ably discussed, was dismissed, and the sub
ject—the utility of keeping an arithmetical
manuscript, was taken up, and briefly dis
cussed by Messrs. Beers, McAninch, Kough,
John Baker and A. Nelson, and generally
condemned. On motion of Mr. Owen, an ex
ecutive committee was appointed to arrange
business for the subsequent sessions. The
President appointed Messrs. Owen, Campbell
and Myerly. On motion of Jno. Baker, a
committee was appointed to draft resolutions.
The members appointed were Messrs. Jno.
Baker, Beers and J. Norris. On motion a
committee was appointed to prepare minutes
for publication. The members appointed
were, Messrs. Carothers, Mcininch, and
- Weight.
Evening Session.—Messrs. Norris and Ca
rothers were appointed assistant Secretaries.
The subject of School Government was intro
duced and very ably discussed by Messrs.
Owen, Baker, Nelson, Norris and others.—
On motion of J. Carothers, adjourned until
Saturday morning.
SAT URI).I.v--.17)re2200//.--The subject of Arith
metic was taken up and ably discussed by
Messrs. Owen, Nelson, and Norris. Ad
journed.
4licrnoon.—The subject of Grammar was
introduced; and. very interestingly discussed
by Messrs. Beers, Campbell and others. Ad
journed.
Evening Session.—The subject of Text
books was introduced, and discussed by Kough,
Beers, Jno. Baker, MeAninch, Jas. Baker,
and Jno. Nelson. The evening being far
spcnt r the committee on resolutions was called
upon, and reported the following, which were
unanimously adopted :
I?esolccd, That we regard the County Su
perintendency
as a necessary part of our
Common School System.
Resolved, That, under the prdent circum
stances, it is impracticable for most Country
Teachers to give themselves a thorough Nor
mal training at an Institution for that pur
pose. We therefore recommend the frequent
holding of Teachers' Institutes, as the best
substitute for Normal Schools.
Resolved, That we, as Teachers, will strive
to be "progressive."
Resolved, That every Teacher should take
the Pennsylvania School Journal, and other
good. works on Teaching and Education in
general.
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this In
stitute, every Teacher (beside the qualifica
tions required by law,) should possess at least
a knowledge of .Physiology.
Resolved, That we recommend Composi
tion and Singiry , in our Schools.
Resolved, That no School-house is sufficient
ly furnished.without backs to the seats,Biack-
Boards, Maps, and Dictionary.
Resolved, That no Teacher can succeed in
teaching without a system of text-books.
Resolved, That we will sustain our County
Superintendent in his well-directed efforts to
advance the interests of the School System,
and that we especially commend the energy
and perseverance lie has exhibited during the
short period he has held office.
Resolved, That our warmest thanks be ten
dered to him for the interest and co-operation
manifested on this occasion.
Resolved, That a copy of the proceedings
of this Institute be sent to each paper in the
county for publication. Adjourned.
Signed by the Officers.
Wine Adulteration
In our last number we promised to say
something further on this interesting subject,
and in doing so we shall call attention to one
of the most remarkable pieces of impudence
that has, for some time, fallen to our lot to
chronicle. When we take wine with a friend,
or buy it for our own use, we do so having
an honest faith that it is pure ; and we should
little suspect that any one would purposely
attempt-to deceive us, by giving or selling us
that which they knew to be bad liquor; yet
we shall he obliged to doubt every wine now
that, (as many of our readers have doubtless
seen,) a chemist advertises in the daily pa
pers of this city, his " flavorings to produce,
at a moment's notice, any desired liquor."
We are told that great improvements have
lately been made in this branch of business,
i. e., adulteration ; and in consequence, we
can purchase of the aforesaid chemist a gal
lon or more of the essense or oil of any desired
liquor, and by merely adding one barrel of
pure spirits, the lipuor will be manufactured,
"fairly comparing with the best brands."
Brandy of "four times the value of the origi
nal cost" can be thus artficially made; and
lastly, an oil for producing Catawba brandy
is sold at a moderate price. These substan
ces are all made and sold in New York, and
no doubt, large quantities are consumes all
over the country, the consumers immagin
ing that they are drinking a genuine article.
This craving for foreign flavor and foreign
names has in a great measure ruined . the
American wines as American, for, says a
writer in Hunt's Merchants' Magazine, " a
great evil in the manufacture of American
wine consists in the endeavor to imitate for
eign varieties—adulterations and all; and it
is owing to this that we have no American
wine." It is asserted that there is not a self
supporting vineyird in the United States, ex
cept the one producing Catawba; and with
the exception of , one or two in California, not
a fair sample of American wine. The spar
kling Catawba of 184 S was a peculiar wine,
having a flavor that has never been imitated,
and which has not been before known; but
that is now scarce, and many inferior and
adulterated varieties are passed upon the un
wary for the genuine article. The only. and
perfect way to discourage adulteration is to
patronize and encourage home-grown wines,
and accept them as such. It is very prob
able that, at tha" onset, they may be a little
more expensive; but if, by paying a little
more, we can get a pure article, it is well
worth the extra expense.
) We are afraid that if a commission was
I appointed to examine the liquors retailed
over bars in this city alone, they would find
very few quite pure. In gin would be dis
covered turpentine and peppermint; in bran
dy, burnt sugar of the worst description, and
bad spirits; whiskey would contain earn
phene ; port wine, infusion of logvvood ; sherry,
adulterated spirits called brandy, and other
mixtures; champagne would prove old goose
berry ; and claret would be difficult to exam
ine, so inultifarous would its ingredients be
found. Without going any further than our
own office, patents have been taken out
through the Scientific American Agency for
making champagne from cider, by impreg
nating it with carbonic acid; and we under
stand that the business is not only a success
ful but a large one. Another, for giving to
wines and spirits, by artificial means, in six
months, that age and maturity which, in a
natural way, many years could only bring.
In fact, it is impossible to enumerate the im
positions- that are practised, and it is high
time that some examination of the purity of
eatables and drinkables was made by the au
thorities of every city. There is no doubt
that a board of examiners, chemists, micro
scopists, and others, having power to pur
chase, examine, and condemn all articles un
fit for human consumption, would tend to
increase the health of our cities and the hon
esty of dealers. Such a trinunal must some
day be appointed, and the sooner the better,
say we.—Scientific American.
BAD LIQUOR.—We need not go so far as
California to find liquor which creates deliri
um tremens and suicide ; but the following
shows that the "liquor" which is imbibed in
the Golden State must be pretty rough : "The
police lately seized a quantity of liquor, kept
for sale at several drinking saloons. The
brandy was colored with burnt sugar, and
contained one-sixteenth of a grain of sul
phate of morphine to every ounce of liquor.
The Gin was composed of forty-seven parts of
spirits, and fifty-three of water, with a dash
of sulphuric acid. The whiskey contained
strychnine and creosote. The pale brandy
contained, among other poisons, prussic
acid."

Dr. Hindman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the Bromton Hospital,
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 fact upon which
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
be applied to the very scat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives ua direct access to these intricate air cells ' and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other moans of ad
ministering medicines. The reason that Consumption,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have nmer 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 ouly act eon--
stibitionally, 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 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.----In relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite cousultation,l usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitatiou and all other forms of Heart Disease, Liver
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stoniest"
and bowels, a.c.
All diseases of the eye and ear. Neuralgia, Epilepsy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
