Two NOBLE Bors.—The following facts we
find in the Harrisburg Daily Herald of Mon
day :—As the Fast Mail train came to Hun
tingdon, on the Pennsylyania R. 8., on
the 30th ult., the Conductor, Col. Roclofs,
was notified by a small boy that there was a
land-slide one mile East of that place. The
Conductor gave orders to run. carefully until
he could ascertain the truth of the report.—
When the train reached the place there was
a large pile of stones and clay upon the track
enough to have precipitated the whole train
down in the Canal. The boys, whose names
are James Stewart and Alford Zeigler, had
discovered the slide, whe none of them started
to the station to warn the approaching train,
while the other remained to give the signal if
the other failed. The Conductor gave them
a reward, and reported the circumstance to
the Superintendent, T. A. Scott, who gave
them a handsome reward.
A DROWNED MAN FOUND.—On Saturday
last the body of an unknown man was found
floating on the water, near the towing-path,
in the Huntingdon dam, about three miles
above this place. An inquest was held upon
the body by A. S. HARRrsoY, Esq., and the
report of jury was accidental drowning. The
following :s a correct copy of a paper found
in one of his pockets :
GEO. HUTCHISON',
Dec. 31, '57, Weight of
Steers 1713©3 1•2.14—531 47. Paid 50.:=, left 1.17,
There was also in his pockets, a brass comb
and 34 cents in money. lie was supposed to
be between 30 and 40 years of age-5 feet G
inches in height—dark hair and whiskers.—
Ills clothing were new or nearly so—black
cloth coat, black cassimer vest and pants,
heavy coarse boots, nearly new, with slit in
the instep of ona. He may have been in the
water several weeks, and perhaps not over
six. or ten days. There were no marks dis
covered upon the body to justify any other
verdict than was given by the jury.
The body was brought to town, placed in a
coffin, and interred on the hill.
P. S.—Since the above was in type we learn
that JOHN WArsoN, of Shavers' Creek, has
been missing since April the 13th. lie was
a witness at Court and has not been heard of
since. The body found answers the descrip
tion given of WhasoN. It is supposed that
lie was returning home after night and acci
dentally fell into the river from the towing
path.
What Congress Decided on Friday Last.
I. That although the people of Kansas have
repeatedly rejected the Lecompton Constitu
tion, with all its protection to slavery, they
must take that Constitution now, or wait till
they have a popUlation of 93,000 or 120,000.
11. That the people can have no vote upon
the Lecompton Constitution under the Eng
lish bill, as lately, most positively, and dis
tinctly- shown by Senators Douglas and Green,
in the Senate, and by Mr. Stephens, in the
House.
111. But, in order to bribe them to take it,
some four millions of acres of land are offered
to them, which if 'they accept, they go into
the Union with Lecompton, and which if they
reject, they remain out an indefinite period of
time.
IV. If they take Lecompton with the land
bribe, which is a slave Constitution, simply
and wholly, they enter the Union with 30,000
of a population; if they refuse it, they will
remain in a territorial condition under pro
slavery management for years to come.
V. That the commission appointed to hold
the election in Kansas, when the land ordi
nan3e (not the Constitution) is submitted, has
been constituted by the English bill to con
sist of a majority of pro-slavery men, who
Dy JACKSON TAYLOR
will of course count only to suit themselves;
the House bill made the commission stand
two and two.
VI. That the clause so highly favored by
the Lecomptonites, that the people of Kansas
should alter the Constitution at any time out
side of its forms, has been carefully excluded
by the English legerdemain.
VII. That all the Southern men say there
is no submission of the Constitution to the
people of Kansas, while their partisans from
the North say there is.

The examination and exhibition of Frank
lin School, under the charge of Mr. Joux M.
McAN,Nien, came off at Meadow Gap, on the
evening of the 3d of April, to the entire sat
isfaction of all present. At one o'clock the
entire school marched through the village,
addressing the inhabitants, County Superin
tendent, and all others present, in a polite
and courteous manner, which was sufficient
to show at a glance the delightful way in
which pupils can be taught both by parents
and professors. The examination commenced
at half past one, P. M., and continued for
three hours—everything being performed in
a good style and masterly manner.
An address on the subject of education,
was then delivered by Mr. OWEN, our worthy
County Superindent, which occupied an
hour and a half. The address was very ap
propriate on the occasion, and was delivered
in an easy and eloquent manner.
The exhibition commenced at half past six
o'clock and was gracefully conducted. It
was highly entertaining to all present, and
everything passed off smoothly. On the whole,
it was quite a creditable affair.
Their declamations were of the very best
selections and all well spoken. Their dia
logues and original pieces were of the first
quality, and well performed,—which was
highly creditable both to the pupils and pro
fessor. The circumstances connected with
Franklin School plainly show that neither
professor or pupils are behind the times.
As is nearly always the case on such oc
casions, there were some present who con
ducted themselves in a very rude manner.—
Such persons we deem almost below our no
tice. The fact is, we notice them only for
their benefit, hoping they may improve by
our remarks and learn how to act in the fu
ture. PLATO.
Death of the Last Pennsylvnia Slave.
[From the Lancaster Express of April 28.1
We some time since noticed that there was
but one slave left in this country, of the num
ber manumitted under the act abolishing sla
very in Pennsylvania. That, the last relic
of the "civilized barbarism" of our fathers,
is now no more. He died on the sth inst., at
a very advanced age, supposed by many to
be the oldest person in the county. His
name was Abram Kirk, and he was the slave
of Stephen Porter, of Drumore township, by
whom he was manumitted. His exact age
is not known, the slave record of the Court of
Quarter Sessions, in which the date of his
birth, and other particulars, were no doubt
registered, not being among the other records
of that office. The index is there, in which
it appears that Stephen Porter had a slave
registered in book No. 1, the missing record
referred to. It has been ascertained, howev
er, from other dates, that Kirk was over 103
years old when he died, and the presumption
is, that he was still of more advanced age.—
Ile was, in many respects, a remarkable ne
gro. His memory, and indeed all his facul
ties, were unusually sound to the last, and
he seemed to pass away in the easy natural
s!eep of a disolution by old age. lie could re
member many incidents of the Revolution,
some of which he related with an interesting
minuteness of detail. • One in particular,
which seemed to have made a deep impres
sion on his mind, referred to the services ren
dered by Lafayette in the struggle for _Amer
ican liberty. When a young man, in 1781,
he assisted in rowing that General and his
troops across the Susquehanna, at Ball Friar,
and was often heard to relate an incident
which then occurred, and the remark it call
ed forth from the French patriot. The boat
in which Abram was rowing having accident
ally run on the rocks in the stream, Lafay
ette called out to those in charge of the boat,
"Do not drown any of my noble men ; I ex
pect to have need of them all at Yorktown."
This old slave had a scrupulous regard for
honesty and the truth. On one occasion,
some two or three years ago, he was called to
give testimony in a case then trying in our
court. He told a straight-forward story of
what he knew, and all present were struck
with his simplicity of manner and evident
candor; but the attorney interested on the
other side felt called upon to ply the old fel
low with a pretty crooked cross-xamination,
which induced the old man to think the law
yer was trying to induce liim to depart from
the truth—a conclusion in which he was
doubtless not far astray. Looking the limb
of the law full in the face with an earnest
gaze, he said "Do you think I came here to
tell a lie ?" This satisfied the questioner that
old Abram had told the truth honestly, and
would not in the least allow himself to be led
away from it.
This old African's funeral was largely at
tended, for while living he had been highly
respected in the neighborhood, as an honest
and inoffensive man. His remains were in
terred at Penn Hill, in Fulton township.
The last slave ! That solitary figure tin
der the bead of "Slaves," which we find in
the census of Lancaster county for 1850, will
disappear from the new census.
SHARP CONFIDENCE GAME.-A new confi
dence game was played off on a stranger at
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad Depot,
in Detroit ono day last week, by a brace of
sharpers. The latter were standing on the
walk near the depot, when the stranger came
up and overheard one of them offering to bet
ten dollars with the other that he could guess
nearest the weight of any man by lifting
him. Surprised at the novelty of the offer,
the stranger stopped to see how the thing
turned out. The offer was taken after some
little conversation, and they asked the coun
tryman to allow them to lift him, at the same
time explaining the nature of the bet they
had made, and as ho had some curiosity
about the matter, he told them they might
do so, and they did, each taking him off his
feet, and holding him a moment. They then
guessed at his weight, and were told by him
which had come nearest, after which the
wager was paid, and they went off. Soon
after the stranger had occasion to use his
pocket-book, and on examining his pocket,
discovered that it had mysteriously disap
appeared. Further examination showed the
fact that his watch had also been taken.
Discovery of a New Plot to Assassinate
the Emperor of the French.
Paris (April E)Corresponden co of the Manchester Guardian
It is now positively certain to all those
who have any means of knowing what passes
behind the scenes, that the ceremony of
Opening the Boulevard de Sebastopol, was
put off on account of the discovery of a fresh
plot to assassinate the Emperor. The details
of the affair are kept in the utmost possible
mystery, and are probably only known to the
new Prefet of Police, Gen. Espinasse, and
the Emperor himself; but the mere fact of
the existence of the plot is known to some
hundreds of individuals, and it has even
caused a modification in the ceremonial of
yesterday, whereof a trace is to be found in
this morning's 31 - oniteur. The official paper,
alluding to the name of the new Boulevard,
says. "It was quite right that a muster of
troops should mark the inauguration of such
an artery of the capital, and, after the Em
peror, our soldiers were the first who ought
to have trodden a soil bearing the name of
so glorious a victory." This, as you will see,
is a manner of explanation for the presence
of all the troops that were called together
yesterday,. In the origin, the ceremony was
to be a pure civil and municipal one; but,
when it was discovered that so great a dan
ger threatened, it was resolved to change its
character altogether, and instead of a muni
cipal, it became a military fete. Connected
with this, I can relate you a curious circum
stance that has just occurred, and for which
I can vouch. Last week, one of the very
highest placed functionaries here, and one of
the • nearest if net the nearest, in habitual
confidence to the Emperor Napoleon 111,
called upon a lady friend of mine, with
whom, and with whose husband, he has been
upon intimate terms of friendship for the
last fourteen years. Both this lady and her
husband are foreigners, settled in Paris.—
The personage I speak of made the visit in
question on purpose to ask these friends of
his what property they had preserved in their
own country, and how far they had identified
their fortunes with those of France; and the
language he held was textually this—" With
all that my position obliges me to know, I
cannot reconcile it to my long-standing friend
ship for you and yours, not to enlighten you
upon the reality of the situation we are, all
of us, now living in in France. The Emper
or's existence is an all but impossible one;
he is so surrounded by plots that every day
brings to light, so compelled now to suspect
the very individuals who serve him in the in
terior of the palace, that it is next to a posi
tive miracle that he should escape. his own
faith in his preservation is shaken; and from
day to day, from hour to hour, anything
may happen in Paris, and Paris become a
place where no one who is not forced to live
should not be desirous of prolonging his
stay. All this may not occur—it is possible
that nothing of it at all may happen ; but it
is just as possible that it may all occur any
day ; and that being the real state of affairs
here, I cannot reconcile it to myself not to
warn you, and not to advise you to lie ready
to leave this country at a moment's notice."
If I could name to you the man who pro
nounced these words, you would at once see
that unless they. were pronounced by Louis
Napoleon himself, they could not be so by
any one more important. I confess my own
impression is, not that the plots for assassin
ation will succeed in their direct and present
form, but I firmly believe they have another
danger, which is every bit as great, and
which is evident to some few of those who
live in Louis Napoleon's intimacy. The notion
of an incessant and horrible danger hanging
over his head, has so possessed the Emperor,
that in spite of all resolves to the contrary, his
nervous system is shaken to the roots, and
he is in that peculiar state of mind that pre
vents a man from seeing straight or moving,
straight. lle no longer enjoys his liberty of
action or of thought, and his own mistaken
acts it will be that will probably bring a fa
tal crisis on.
A Touching Scene in State Prison---A
Child in Search of its Father
[From the Sing Sing Chronicle.]
One evening last week . , just as the bell of
the Sing Sing prison was ringing "all right,"
and most of the officers were about.taking
their departure from the institution, a little
girl about seven years of age entered the
warden's office. On being questioned as to
her name and errand, she said that her name
was Agnes W—, and that she had " come
all the way from New York to see her father,
whom her mother had told her was in prison
at Sing Sing." The intelligent and mourn
ful looks of the child soon enlisted the sym
pathy of the warden and other officers, and
it was at once decided to gratify the wishes
of the little heroine.
But a difficulty at once arose—there being
no less than fun: convicts bearing the same
name as her father, but this difficulty was
soon overcome by the little girl herself.
She said that her father was a cooper by
trade, and it became apparent at once that
the J—
shop" v% as the looked-for father. He was
soon brought from his cell to the office, and
the scene which took place between the con
vict father and his child will not soon be for
gotten by those who witnessed it. Accus
tomed as the officers are to affecting scenes
between the convicts and their relatives, this
was too much for their feelings, and a tear
stood in the eye of many of those stout-heart
ed men.
The story of little Agnes to her father was
"that her mother was very poor, lived out at
service, and could 1.:4 come to see him, so
she thought she would come herself; that she
left New York that morning without one
cent of money—walked through the city till
she came to the railroad that some boys told
her passed through Sing Sing ; that she
crept in one of the ears and hid herself
away, and, when found by the conductor, he
allowed her to ride all the way sip for noth
ing. and that some of the boys in the village
told her the way to the prison."
After spending some time with her father,
she was kindly taken care of for the night
by one of our citizens, and the next morning
a lady of our village accompanied her to
New York, and had her placed in an asylum
devoted as a home to the children of the des
titute, where she will be taken care of, and
properly and kindly treated.
fie" A sensitive Pennsylvania editor says :
—" Somebody brought one bottle of sour wa
ter into our office, with the request to notice
it as lemon beer. If Esau was green enough
to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage, it
does not prove that we will tell a four-shil
ling lie for five cents."
gar- There is some business doing on the
Western division of the Canal, but hardly
enough to justify the expense of keeping it
open. So says the Johnstown Tribune.
The Pardoning Power.
Too much discretion, says the Philadelphia
Bullciin, cannot be exercised in pardoning
criminals. For one chance of escape there
will be a hundred crimes. Give a burglar
or counterfeiter the faintest shadow of
hope that a pardon can lie obtained, and his
evil expedience of human nature will at once
suggest the possibility of bribery and par
don, until a very uncertain contingency as
sumes in his mind the proportions of a cer
tainty. The " never fear, Sammy, my boy,
we'll get you pardoned," of the New York
burglar, is less a fancy than many suppose.
Some time since, we saw it stated that du
ring the past two years, Gov. Chase, of Ohio,
had pardoned eighty-six convicts, reprieved
one and commuted the sentence of another.
Since then we gather from the Ohio Farmer
a story to the effect that among the pardons
granted by Gov. Chase, was one to a man by
the name of Chaffee, from Summit county.—
This was granted in July. At the October
election, Chaffee took a ticket, and tore off
the name of Gov_ Chase, and voted the rest
of the ticket. Op being asked the reason for
discarding the Governor, he said: " lle par
dons out too many rascals."
Doubtless many an " honest knave"—if
such there he—would confess that pardons
given to professional rogues are always mis
applied. When a man who has never in his
life been guilty of offences, suddenly, in the
heat of passion and under provocation, com
mits an assault or personal violence, he may,
after a season of confinement; be very prop
erly pardoned. Such offences are of a differ
ent nature from those committed by the man
trained from infancy to war on society and
sneak through the basest and vilest paths of
crime. Yet in these, as in all cases, the par
doning power should be sparingly used, and
that with as little publicity as possible.
[The people of Pennsylvania may congrat
ulate themselves that they have in Uovernor
Packer, a man who knows the responsibility
of the pardoning power, and will not abuse
its exercise, as has too often been done, even
in our own State. His strict regard for jus
tice, impartial judgment, and firm, clear
minded nature will enable him to use the
great power the people have reposed in him,
with that entire degree of caution his fellow
citizens expect of the Executive of the Com
mon weal di .—Harrisburg Herald.]
New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, under date of April 30,
says :
A few days since, as a party of school
boys were playing on a knoll, in Greenwood
Cemetery, near the main entrance, the em
bankment suddenly gave way, and on an ex
amination being made, by people in the vi
cinity, an aperture was discovered in the
hill sufficient to admit a man. A number of
persons pushed in, and discovered, about 100
feet from the entrance, a sort of room, well
filled with furniture ; a lantern hung from
the ceiling ; in one corner was a jar of
li
cjuor; and everything about and around
seemed to show that the place had recently
been itlabited
The party proceeded to explore the cavern,
but had not proceeded far, when a noise was
heard in the distance, as though proceeding
front human beings, and this so terrified the
adVenturers, that they heat a hasty retreat—
so that nothing further was discovered.—
Many hundreds of people from this city have
gone over to view- this mysterious cavern,
and the excitement in the neighborhood of
the Cemetery is said to be very great. A
dozen graves, at least, are over the cave.
TREATY' WITH THE Moratoxs.—The Wash
ington States, of Thursday morning, pub
lishes a letter dated from Panama on April
Rith, in which it is stated that Col. Kinney
had been, for some time treating with the
Mormons, with a view of settling them on
the Mosquito coast. By the last California
steamer, he received intelligence that his
proposition had been favorable received by
the Mormons, and this information enabled
him to raise $30,000 cash, and $BO,OOO more
in merchandise and supplies, with which ac
companied by twenty followers, he has sailed
for Greytown. He expects to obtain, through
General Lamar, permission to colonize the
country under the Nicaragua dag, obligating
the colonists to help to defend Nicaragua
against the encroachments of filibusters.—
Failing to obtain this privilege lie will hoist
the Nicaragua flag, and as this is under Brit
ish protection, be expects no serious opposi
tion from any quarter.
frZy. A Gentleman of Norfolk, Va., had a
fine negro, to whom he gave the privilege, of
hiring himself out, and keeping one-half the
wages. A short time since, the negro came
home to his master, to tell him that the man
for whom he had been working, wished to
buy him, and would give thirteen hundred
dollars for him.
" Well," said his master, " what of that ?
I don't wish to sell." ...
" But, you see, massa," said Sam, " I'se

FUNERAL, 01? A MEXICAN VOLUNTEER.-MC
funeral of John F. Bachman, a gallant young
soldier of the Mexican war, took place at
Easton on Sunday last. After a funeral ser
mon by the Rev. John Beck, the body was
conveyed to the cemetery; the Scott Legion
of Philadelphia, the Easton volunteer com
panies, and delegations from Mauch Chunk,
Allentown, Bethlehem, together with a large
concourse of citizens, accompanied by Pomp's
Cornet Band, took part in the sad rites.—
Minute guns were fired from Mount Jefferson
during the progress of the funeral cortege,
and the Scott Legion fired the usual volleys
over the grave. It is estimated that at least
ten thousand persons were present.
AN IMPORTANT FACT.-A recent article in
the London Tinzes reveals the important fact,
that the government of England has it in
contemplation to seek for military recruits
for India, among the fugitive slaves which
are now in Canada. This is turning philan
thropy to a profitable account.

In Lewistowr, on Sabbath morning, April 2,5 th, JAM'S
A. Ccxxmai.or, aged about 40 years.
The death of Mr. Cunningham is a loss to our commu
nity of a valued citizen. With the exception of a few
years, his manhood was spent in Lewistown, and through
his connection with the press. and as a public officer, he
we well known throughout the country, and highly es
teemed. He came to this place from Huntingdon county
shortly after attaining his majority, and soon won the con
fidence and regard which integrity and genuine manliness
of character always inspires, and unstained it to the laut.
He was loved most by those who knew him best. Ile was
modest and unassuming. as he was frank, open and gener
ous. He had a large heart which met the demands of 11115-
fortune more than half way, and always with a free and
open hand. If he was generous, he was also a just man
in all his intercourse with the world, discharging every du
ty and meeting every responsibility. Our friend has gone,
and while this community laments its loss, it sympathizes
with the relatives in their painful bereavement. To the
God of the fatherless and the afflicted we commend them
for comfort in this hour of misfortune. He was a good
man, and his reward is on high ; his work is done and his
labors, in answer to his dying prayer, approsed. Ile rests
in peace.
There's a world where all arc equal—
We are hurrying towards it fist—
We shalt meet upon the level there.
When the gates of death are passed;
We shall stand before the Orient,
And our Master will be there,
And try the blocks we offer
By his own unerring square. tiV

MAY APPOINTMENTS
HARDMAN, Physician for the
disease of the Lungs, (formerly Physician to Cincin

Dr. Hardman treats Consumption. Bronchitis, Asthma,
tarryngittis 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 shook'
be applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
Sir it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
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 he local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending, their immediate and principal ac
tion upon the nnolThndieg 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 he employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. Ii; does not derange the stomach. or in
