The Governor's message will be published in bur next. SENATOR DOUGLAS IN PEILADELPIIIA.—The City Councils of Philadelphia unanimously offered Senator Douglas the use of Indepen dence Ilall, for the purpose of receiving the people on Monday evening. A committee escorted him. from New York, and altogether, his reception in the city of Brotherly Love, was a grand affair. The people will not al low a bold Statesman to be "crushed out." From HarrEsburg IF3I. LEWIS—Dear Sir: The Republicans of the louse have nominated W. C. A. Law rence for Speaker. The third ballot stood: Lawrence, 34 McClure, - - 30 Scattering, Truly yours, Senator Douglas in New York. The New York Evening Post, of Wednes day evening last, has the following in rela tion-to the arrival of Senator Douglas in that city : " Senator Douglas and lady arrived from Havana by steamer last night. He was waited upon at the wharf, by Alderman Bradley and Councilman Baker, of the com mittee appointed to receive him, and escorted to his rooms at the Everett House. ThiS morning he was visited by Speaker Orr, Rev erdy Johnson, George N. Sanders, John B. Haskins, M. C. and others. Shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon, Aldermen Clancy, Bradley, and McSpedon called at his rooms. Mr. Bradley, after congratulating the Sena tor on his arrival, presented the resolutions of the Common Council, remarking that they not only tendered the freedom and hos pitalities of the city, but also endorsed his political course. Mr. Douglas, in response, said this was a complete surprise to him, as until last night he had no intimation that any such honor was intended. He had not imagined that his course had attracted the attention of the authorities of this great city, or impressed them so favorably as to lead to this mark of approval. " To receive this compliment from the city of New York, was indeed no small honor— an honor conferred by the great metropolis of the American continent, which was fast taking position as the controlling city of the world, as it was already the great commer cial, social, and monetary heart of this na tion, the proudest, as it is, and as it is to be under the Constitution of the United States, on the face of the earth. " This city was the representative of all the States and all the Territories of the Union, wherever the American flag waves upon the sea or upon the land. Sectional controversies might disturb other portions of the country, but New York had not listened and would not listen to those appeals which would array the North against the South, the South against the North, or any one section against another. The heart of New York pulsated throughout the Union, and for the Union. New York was for promoting peace, fraternity, and good feeling among all the people of this country. " To receive, then, this compliment, under these circumstances, was one of the proudest events of his life. He gratefully accepted the proffered honor, and would preserve this paper to be transmitted•to his posterity. "Mr. Bradley further stated that they de sired Mr. Douglas to appoint a day to receive his friends at the City Hall. Mr. Douglas suggested to-morrow, but Mr. Clancy thought. Speaker Orr would want to receive on that day, and it was finally arranged that Mr. Douglas should see his friends at the Gov ernor's rooms, between one and two o'clock en Friday." The New York Express, of Friday after noon, says: " Mr. Douglas remained at his rooms du ring the whole of Thursday, and was called on by several distinguished individuals, du ring the day. As early as ten o'clock, his friends commenced to arrive, and from that hour until five o'clock, P. M., there was no end of carriages and other vehicles conveying visitors to Mr. Douglas, while his . lady was equally busy in her drawing-room, receiving distinguished visitors of her own sex. It was calculated that over three thousand per sons called on the distinguished Senator and his lady during the day. Among the nota bles were William B. Astor, Surrogate West, ex-Mayor Wood, Governor (almshouse) Town send, General Herran, Hon. Augustus Schell, Hon. Richard Schell, and - several , others.— Mr. Douglas and lady dined in their private room at six o'clock, with several ladies and gentlemen of the city. Mr. William B. As tor has invited Mr. Douglas to dine with him on New Year's day. The flags were dis played all the morning upon the City Hall, in honor of the distinguished Senator from Illinois. The day was, however, very inaus picious' for receptions, it having rained al most incessantly during the whole morning and afternoon. Notwithstanding the storm, however, quite a concourse of people assem bled along the passage leading to the Cham ber-of the Board of Aldermen, in which the January 3, 1850 JUNIATA reception was to take place. A few minutes after one o'clock, Mr. Doug las arrived, accompanied by the Joint Com mittee of the Common Council, appointed.to receive him, when the large crowd was ad mitted to the Chamber, and ranged around the Aldermanic desks, in the lobby and out side the door. The pushing and crushing of parties endeavoring to get in, was tremen dous. When comparative order was restored, his Honor, the Mayor, addressed Mr. Doug las, briefly tendering him a cordial welcome to the city of New York. To this address, Judge Douglas replied in a brief and appropriate speech, expressive of his thanks for his cordial reception, in which no reference was made to political topics.— It was expected that he would be serenaded last night at the Everett House. The Last Drive at Douglas [From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.] The United States Senate is just now mak ing a very silly exhibition of itself before the world. A gentleman who has served twelve years in that body, with - great credit to him self and high honor to the whole country, is sought to be degraded, through the machi nery of the caucus action of that body, for differing in opinion on a single subject, and that subject one on which he and his constit uents almost unanimously agree. If Mr. Douglas was wrong upon that subject, it would not be right to thus proscribe him for an er ror of opinion. The day is past in this coun try when persecution is to be the remedy for imagined heresy, either in politics or re ligion. But who says Mr. Douglas is wrong in his popular sovereignty principle a; ap plied to U. S. Territories ? The very men who time and again have acknowledged that he was right. Every vote given or speech made by the South in favor of the Kansas- Nebraska bill was a solemn and unmistak able acknowledgement of the justness and soundness of his position. That " the people of the Territories as well as the States should be left perfectly free to regulate their domes tic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution," was the doctrine enun ciated in that great measure, and has in good faith in every instance been adhered to by its distinguished author. It was the intention of the Kansas-Nebraska bill to inaugurate a new policy in regard to the government of the Territories—that instead of Congress leg islating for a distant Territory, the people should be allowed to legislate for themselves. This policy was acquiesced in, and the views of the Senator from Illinois fully endorsed, not only by the Democratic majority in both branches of Congress, but by every Demo cratic delegate from every Congressional dis trict in the United States to the last National Convention. It is upon this platform the Senator from Illinois now stands, and it is by the popular sovereignty principle of that policy he is to fall, if fall he must. If Pres idential conspiracies and Senatorial caucuses have power to put him down, he will go down with his flag flying. But the people of this country have yet some liberality left, and the press of the country is still a power among us. Arrival from Fort Bridger—Suffering on the Plains [From the Nebrmhtt News, December 15 On Thursday morning a company of seven teen men, ,in the employ of Messrs. Russell, Majors & Waddell, arrived in this city, direct from Fort Bridger. - They left Bridger on the Ist of November, and - have met with great suffering on the Plains. Two of the men were nearly frozen, their feet black as char coal, and, on the whole, most pitiful and sorrowful-looking objects to look upon. The company were more or less frozen. The snow about one hundred miles out is very deep, and badly drifted. The company wore obliged to leave their wagons at Salt Creek, about fifty miles west of this place, where their mules gave out— swamped in the snow. They bring no special news, further than bad roads, high' prices of provisions, and a general confirmation of the gold discoveries on the Platte. Flour is selling along the road, at nearly every station, at from $25 to $3O per sack of 100 pounds ; coffee from 50 to 75 cents per pound, and all other provisions at proportionate rates, and very scarce at these figures. [From the Leavenworth (Kansas)-Herald, 18.] By late arrivals at Council Bluffs, the news is brought that gold is found everywhere, on the Platte and Cherry Creek. &, - e. It is esti mated that five hundred settlers are in the mines. Towns are springing up as by mag ic; and everything brisk. County officers have been sent by the Governor, and the people are proceeding to organize a county, and petition Congress for a Territorial Gov ernment. An election was held on the Gth November for a delegate to Congress, and a member of the Kansas Legislature. The election resul ted in the choice of H. J. Graham as Dele gate to Congress, and A. J. Smith as a mem ber of the Legislature. Four hundred and ninety-five votes were cast. A correspondence of the Council Bluffs Bugle, writing from the mines, says : ",Mr. Graham will leave immediately for Washington, and we hope he will succeed in getting a new Territory organized. We have no doubt but one hundred thousand people will be settled in the new Territory before a year from this date." INDEPENDENCE, Dec. 24.—A gentleman in whom we have implicit reliance, Mr. Wm. Smith, accompanied by eight men, has just arrived from Pike's Peak, as express. They left the mines on the 20th of November, and report the existence of gold in quantities suf ficient'to pay laboring men. They can make from five to eight dollars per day. Mr. Smith will return by the 15th January, and ex pects to take -with him a company for the gold mines. HORRIBLE MURDER.-A WO3L CHOPS OFF HER HUSBAND'S HEAD WITH AN AXE.-A trag ical affair occurred in Weldon, N. C., on Christmas night. It seemed there lived, about eight miles from Halifax, a family of free negroes, consisting of a man named Jack Mills, us wife, and one son. The man and wife were habitual drunkards, and on the night of Christmas, had indulged very freely. The boy went to sleep, leavinc , them quarrel ing as usual, but was aroused in the night by t noise, and upon starting up, saw his mother strike his father two heavy blows with an ate; whereupon he fled and alarmed the neighbors, who, upon going to the house, found the man quite dead and horribly man gled, the head being nearly severed from the body, and several ghastly wounds inflicted upon it, presenting a spectacle most revolting. The woman was arrested and is now in jail at Halifax. Distressing Case of Self-Destruction. About six o'clock evening before last, Mr. James Galbreath, a well known and highly respected citizen, an edge-tool maker, for merly of the firm of Williams & Co., met with a. distressing and fatal accident at his residence, 'No. 26 West Seventh street. Mr. G., who retired from business some time since, has recently been much alarmed lest he would suffer from poverty and come to actual want. This idea preyed upon his mind more and more, until it became a kind of perpetual cloud that shut out every ray of hope, and plunged him into the night of despair. He was restless, feverish, maddened by the con stant thought—the uplifted shadow upop his soul. Ile evinced at last unmistakable signs of derangement, and his attendant phySician advised the family to watch him closely lest he should make some attempt upon his life. They did so, never permitting him to go out of their sight, but day before yesterday he seemed more calm than he had for several weeks, and his friends believed he was . fully recovering his reason. At the tiour we have mentioned, he rose from a room in which he was sitting, and stepped. as was supposed, into the next apart ment. His wife heard of his absence and immediately followed him up stairs ; but he hurried on, and entered the room under the roof and turned the key to prevent her in gress. He then threw off his coat, and Jumping upon the roof, leaped therefrom to the street below, a distance of thirty . feet, breaking both legs by his fall, and otherwise severely injuring hiMself. lie was picked up insensible and taken into the house, where, after suffering greatly, he expired about one o'clock yesterday morning. • Mr. Galbreath leaves an interesting family and many friends to lament his melancholy and unexpected fate.—Cincinnali Enquirer, Dec. 29. Confessions of a Table Mover For a long time, Mr. George P. Paine, of Worcester, Mass., has been known as a pow erful " physical medium," and his achieve ments in the line of table moving ha.ve.con verted hundreds of people to spiritualism, and been an argument in the mouth of its believers. His demonstrations wore not in the dark, like those of the Davenport boys, but under a full blaze of gas, or in broad daylight. He has made tables move appa rently without human contact, to the comfort of believers and the confounding of skeptics. The Worcester Spy, of the 20th of Octo ber, contained an account of one of his exhi bitions, in which the table was so moved, and " Yankee Doodle " rapped on it in good style, in time with the whistling of a gentleman present. From time to time " reliable mediums " saw spirits hovering around Mr. Paine, and he was in a fair way of becoming a lion among the Spiritualists. Recently Mr. Paine came to this city, main ly for the purpose of convincing Mr. Coles, a former medium, who has recently conclu ded that physical manifestations are a hum bug. For this purpose, a circle was held in Mr. Paine's rooms, and Coles, with several others, attended, and were unable to detect any deception. At a secondinterview, how ever, he, with Mr. Henry Smith, the "Razor Strop Man," and Mr. Waters, of Worcester, determined to sift the matter to the bottom. Mr. Paine, on being requested to change tl\' position of the table, refused, alleging that it would destroy the " conditions." At last a small hole in the floor, and a rent in the carpet, were discovered in close prox imity with the table legs. The three gentle men named proposed to take up the carpet, but Mr. Paine demurred, and requested them to call next day. Mr. Coles and associates, however, determined not to yield the point, and gave Mr. Paine clearly to understand that they would not leave the room until they had taken up the carpet. Mr, Paine, finding that he could not stave off an examination, finally acknowledged that the whole thing was a fraud ; that he had cheated, not only on this occasion, but froni the beginning; his wife and his most inti mate friends, as well as his numerous con verts, having been the dupes of his premedi tated deception. Mr. Coles stated these facts in the Spirit ual Conference on Wednesday evening, in the presence of Mr. Paine; and after he had concluded, the bogus medium got up, publicly acknowledged the fraud, and defended it on the ground that the end justifies the means. He believed that the great share of the re puted spiritual phenomena is sham, although he was of opinion that some of them are real. He stood commended to his own conscience, and counted it among his treasures in heaven that he had charged nothing, although small presents had from time to time flowed into his earthly coffers; his labors had been one of love. He had resorted to deception in or der to meet deception, and ultimately expose it. Having defended his course, Mr. Paine exhibited a piece of No. 2 wire, as the veri table apparatus by which he had moved ta bles, and converted hundreds to Spiritualism. LET US LAUGH-A Little If Truth and Common, Sense.—llev. Dr. Bellows, of New York, recently delivered a lecture on " Mirth," and among other good things, gave utterance to the following: " For my part, I say it in all solemnity, I have become sincerely suspicious of the piety of those who do not love pleasures in any form. I cannot trust the man who never laughs, who is always sedate, who has no ap parent outlets for natural spririgs of sportive ness and gaiety that are perennial to the hu man soul. I know that nature takes revenge on such violence. I expect to find secret vices, malignant sins, or horrid crimes spring ing up in this, hot-bed of confined air and imprisoned space; and therefore it gives, a sincere moral gratification, anywhere and in any community, to see innocent pleasures -and popular amusements resisting the reli gious bigotry that frowns so unwisely upon them. Anything is. better than that dark, dead, unhappy social life, a prey to ennui and morbid excitement, which result from unmitigated asceticism, whose second crop is unusually unbridled license or infamous fol ly:, DOUGLAS 1N TENNESSEE.—The Memphis Appeal publishes - a speech of Judge Douglas, and thus comments thereon : " If such doctrines as these be treason, and their advocate a `traitor,' and if the Southern people are ready and disposed to ostracise and cut loose from every Northern man who upholds them, then indeed has the time for secession and dissolution come. But we have too much confidence in the loyalty and pa triotism of the South to believe . that such doctrines are regarded by them as traitorous." A Remarkable Case • A correspondent of the Louisville Courier, describes a remarkably complicated case of identity. which was, at the time of writing, on trial in the Adair Circuit Court, of Ken tucky : In 1835 William Perry Moore, of Monticel lo, Ky., a lad of seventeen years Of age, left his mother's house in the night, declaring his intention of never returning while his mother lived. He was entitled to an estate of some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars.— His mother, who had intermarried with a Mr. Shepherd, was his guardian, and the ad ministrator of her deceased husband's estate, John S. Moore, and not having heard any thing of her son, Wm. P. Moore, and suppos ing him to be dead, she, in 1845 or 1846, dis tributed among her children and herself that portion of the estate to which the said Win. P. Moore would have been entitled. In 1854 Mrs. Margaretta Moore appeared in Monticello, Ky., with her three daughters, the eldest about sixteen years of age, claim ing to be the widow and the children of Wm. P. Moore, deceased, whom she married at Columbus, Ga., in 1842, where they lived until 1845, when they removed to Baltimore, Md., where they continued to reside until 1853, when the said Wm. P. Moore died.— The issue out of Chancery to be tried is, whether these girls are the Children and the heirs at law of Wm. P. Moore, of Monticello, or not. The depositions and other papers filed in the cause would well nigh fill a half bushel measure, all of which are to be read, independent of a large amount of oral testi mony to be delivered. The defendants prove, by way of identification, that Win. P. Moore, of Monticello, was 5 feet 8 or 10 inches high, fair skin, large full eyes, broad shoulders, a little stooped, thin breasted, large hands and big feet, careless gait and independent walk, swings one arm more than the other in walk ing, a dimple in one cheek, and a drawing up of one corner of the mouth when he smiled, light brown hair, and bluish grey eyes, a scar across the eye, extending towards the temple, a scar on the jaw, good teeth, but the corner of one of the front teeth a little broken, fond of gambling, quick to re sent an insult, of an unforgiving disposition, &c. The plaintiffs prove that Margaretta Moore was married in Columbus, Ga., in 1842 to one Wm. Perry Moore, who claimed to have been born in Kentucky, and by numerous persons living there and in Baltimore (where lie died of consumption in 1853,) he is de scribed in every particular precisely as Wm. P. Moore, of Monticello, is described—height, size, form, eyes, nose, mouth; hair, teeth, scars, dimple, walk, swing, hands, feet, tem per, disposition, occupation, (which was that of a gambler,) &c., all correspond exactly.— In addition to which two daguerreotype like nesses of her husband are produced, which by various witnesses, are proven to be good likenesses of Wm. P. Moore, of Monticello, and by various witnesses the great resem blance of the eldest girl, especialy, to Wm. P. Moore, of Monticello, and to his sisters, Mrs. Pierce and Mrs. Green, and his nieces, the Misses Pierce, &c., and to his nephews, cousins, &c.; and then, again, defendants prove that the daguerreotypes are not the good likenesses of Wm. P. Moore, of Monti cellb, and they prove further that a lad by the name of Wm. P. Moore lived in Wheeling, Va., that he left that place about 1837, on a steamboat called Osceola, and said he was going to Columbus, Ga., and they prove fur ther, that one Wm. P. Moore- was killed in Texas about 1842, who is described pretty much as Wm. P. Moore, of Monticollo, is de scribed. It would take a volume to describe the incidents, coincidences and contrariety of statements made by the numerous witnesses in the case. )27'. The Coos (N. H.) Republican gives an account of a most perilous ascent of Mt. Washington, on the 7th of December last, for the purpose of levying an execution at the Tip Top and Summit Houses. " For the first mile, the snow was about one foot in depth, increasing to .two-and-a half and three feet, as they approached the Ledge. Unable to obtain ingress at the doors, they Arced their way in through the windows, on which the frost had formed, a foot and one-half 'in thickness! The walls and all the furniture were draped with some four inches of frost, and the air was biting in the extreme. Upon emerging from the houses, they beheld to the south-west, a cloud rapidly increasing in volume, and rolling on toward them. When first seen, it was small in magnitude, but it increased in size, with alarming velocity, soon spreading over the entire south. They knew it was a frost cloud, and to be caught in its folds would probably be fatal, and they hastened to avoid it. They had just entered the woods at the base of the ledge, when it came upon them. So icy and penetrating was its breath, that to have encountered its blinding, freezing power on the unprotected height, would have been to have perished with it as.a pall to cover them. The party reached the Glen in safety, and were heartily welcomed by their friends, who, well knowing the danger at tending this never-before accomplished feat, awaited them with much anxiety." CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE SEXES.—It is a singular fact, says a writer in one of our ex changes, that even after death, nature re spects the inherent modesty of women, for when drowned, she floats on her face, and a drowned man upon his back. The noblest part of a human being is the head; but the man's head is liable to baldness ; woman is never bald. The man's face is often made repulsive on account of a harsh growing beard ; and so' covered with sordid hairs, as sometimes scarcely to be distinguished from the face of a brute beast; in woman, on the other hand, the face always remains pure and decent. For this reason women were, by the laws of the twelve tables, forbidden to rub their cheeks, lest hair should grow and obscure their blushing modesty. But the most evident proof of the innate purity of the female sex, is, that a woman having once washed, is clean, and if she wash in second water, will not soil it; but that a man is never clean—though he should wash in ten successive waters, he will cloud and infect them all. 'The latest intelligence from Ex-Presi dent Pierce, says the Boston Post, is dated Naples, Dec. 2d, where he remained a week, but was then making preparation, in obedi ence to medical advice, to go to the Island of Capri, for the benefit of Mrs. Pierce, the state of whose health, her friends will be pained to learn, is far from encouraging. She has suffered much from the damp, cold air of Florence and its surroundings. A Great Jail Delivery---Two Murderers at Large---Ten Prisoners Gone. On Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, one of the officers of the County Prison went into the jail for some purpose, and was struck with the remarkable fact, that with the excep tion of one or two colored men, imprisoned for trifling offences, none of the prisoners could be seen. It was not long before Mr. Lowe discovered what bad become of them. A good-sized opening through the three foot wall in the rear or west end of the prison told the story. Ten of them had dug through the wall and escaped. This wall is built in the darkest part of the prison, and the aper ture opens into a small room directly beneath the arena of the entrance to the Court room. After once getting into the vacant room be low the entrance, it was an easy mf,tter to ascend the dark flight of steps, break open the ordinary door, and be at liberty. The following are the names of the escaped prison ers, and their crimes:— Conrad Scibold, indicted for the murder of llerry Korrell on the 27th of June last.— John Fronenberg, also indicted for the mur der of Korrell. These two are the most im portant cases. Scibold and Fronenberg are both desperate and dangerous men, and will not be retaken without a mortal struggle.— these same men made an attempt to break jail by sawing away an iron grating, two or three months ago, but were fortunately dis covered on the eve of the execution of their plan. The other prisoners escaping are Mil ton Dudley, horse stealing; George Miller, burglary; Thomas Smith, sent to jail to await trial at Common Pleas Court for shoot ing Philip Barnell with intent to kill; Thom as Watson, sent to jail upon the same charge; William Williams, petit larceny ; John Kelly, petit larceny ; Robert Armstrong, petit lar ceny ; James Brown, petit larceny.—Ohio Statesman, Dec. 28. CUBA-CONFIRMATORY ADVICES OF AN IN TENDED REVOLUTION, WITH THE AID OF AMER -ICANS.-NEW ORLEANS, Dee. 31.—Private ad vices have been received, which confirm, pos itively, the report that a squad of Americans are in Cuba, ready to aid the revolutionists. It is further stated that all have gone with regular passports. AVAsnixaTos, Dec. 3d.—Late and direct intelligence from Havana, reiterates that much excitement prevails there concerning the President's message, but affords no basis for the belief that a revolutionary movement is contemplated. The general tone of the advices is such as to warrant the assertion that the intervention of the French Gov ernment has not been requested fur any pur pose. While it is repeated that the authorities at Tampico have, through the efforts of the Cap tain General of Cuba, satisfied the claims of certain Spanish subjects, (this being the isolated case,) the additional statement is made that the difficulties between the Govern ment of Spain and that of Mexico, are in a fair way of an early adjustment. . . From another source of information in this city, there are, doubtless, good grounds for the recent telegraphic statements from New Orleans, concerning filibuster movements against Cuba. WESTERN LIFE.—We clip the following ad vertisement from a recent number of the St. Joseph's (Mo.) Daily Gazette: SPECIAL NOTlCE.—Bartholomew McGinnis offers his services to the citizens of this city as 'a wig maker, music master, and dealer in dry fruits. He has come here and gives peo ple information, that he intends to open in Middleton's alley, No. 12, where he proposes to make ladies' caps, re-pack pork, set hen's eggs under wild ducks, horse jockeysand faro dealers can be supplied, with old saddles, smelling bottles, and all the vegetables of this year's growth. Also, quail traps repair ed, renovated and fabricated. All kinds of needle-work can be done with accuracy, pan taloons patched, with one hundred pounds of new lard and forty pounds of hemp—tow cloth, goose grease and gridirons to be bar tered off fin- soft soap. For references, ap ply at Ihstettees. Several of our cotemporaries hate no ted the fact that a Roman Catholic Priest officiated at the opening of Congress, cn the 21st inst., as though it was very remarkable. By sonic it is noted as a marked recognition of the fact that our Government makes no discrimination between religious creeds.— This would Seem to indicate that an act of Catholic emancipation had just been passed, or the Constitution had recently been inter preted to make no discrimination between re ligious creeds! The facts of the case are, that no compensation is now allowed to Con gressional chaplains, and the clergy of Wash ington officiate voluntarily. A list of the reveroned gentlemen having been made out, each is notified as his turn comes, and the 24th was Rev. Mr. Boyle's day. MONSTER PRINTING OFFICE.—The Paris Imperial printing establishment possesses the type of fifty-six eastern languages, being all that are known of the characters of Asia, ancient or modern. Also, the type of six teen European tongues which do not use the ordinary Latin characters. As to the latter, the establishment has the type of forty-six different forms and sizes. The number of presses on the premises is such that 556 reams of paper, equivalent to 9,266 octavo volumes of thirty sheets, could be struck off in a single day. About 500 workmen are employed by the establishment throughout the year. ItEr-Ex-President Pierce was recently driv en out of his hotel in Florence because the ex-King of Prussia. wanted the accommoda tions for himself and suits, filling twenty car riages. The ex-President, it is said, yielded gracefully, but one of his democratic friends sent the poor old King, and innocent land lord together to a very bad place, in free re publican style, and ordered his carriage and bill on the instant, shaking the dust off his feet as:he left the unworthy hotel. Crr.o enterprising jeweler in Wash ington has found and cut up that brick which Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, shied at the leg of English, of Indiana, int) the most de lightful "charms," to adorn the watch-chains of the sporting fraternity. Another, not to be outdone in metropolitan taste and skill, has had English's silvered cane picked up, brought in and carved into beautiful rings, for holiday presents.
