Let• the People Know I That there remained in the National Con vention at Baltimore, after every disorgani zing Rebel had seceded, 436 regularly ap pointed delegates, entitled, under the rule, to cast 218 'votes-16 MORE than TWO THIRDS of a Full Convention. Let them know that, on the second ballot, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, received 1811 votes of the 218, over FORTY more than TWO-TIIIRDS of the whole vote present. And then, to clinch all, let them know, that the resolution declaring STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS to be the unanimous choice of the Convention, passed without a single dissenting voice ; so that Stephen A. Douglas actually received 218 votes—SIX TEEN votes more than two-thirds of a full Convention I Let the People know, too, that the Seceders' Convention which nominated Breckinridge and Lane had no authority from any constit uency to sit at Baltimore outside of the regu lar Convention—that it did not contain more than eighty or ninety delegates who bad even a shadow of authority from the people to act —that it cast in all but 105 votes—not one of them properly authorized, or binding on any body—let them know this, and let them decide which was the Regular and which was the Disorganizers' Convention, and which of the nominees, Douglas or Breckinridge, is enti tled to the undivided support of the National Democracy. THE LAST FALSEHOOD.—The Breckinridge press, failing to make strength for their can didate by fair andhonorable means,now resort to the most bold falsehoods. They now as sert that the negative vote was not put on the resolution making the nomination of Stephen A. Douglas unanimous. A bolder effort to deceive the people never was attempted by the unprincipled men who have control of corrupt presses. We were on the floor of the Convention when the nomination was made unanimous, and when the negative was put we had our eyes upon the Pennsylvania del egation to see if any of them would vote no. There was not a dissenting voice from a sin gle man of the whole delegation, and every man was in his seat. There was not ano in the whole Convention of 2121 votes, which made Douglas the nominee by 81 votes more than the two-thirds of a full Convention.— Other gentlemen from Huntingdon were by our side in the Convention when the nomina tion was mado unanimous, and who will cer tify to the correctness of our statement. Dar The Breckinridge wing of the Demo cratic party in Cambria county, met in con vention last week and put in nomination a full county ticket in opposition to the one lately nominated by the regular Democratic delegate County Convention. So we go.— We are gratified that the Democratic party of Huntingdon county act with more good tense: Senator. Before going to press we expect to have the pleasure of announcing to our readers the nomination of a good and strong man for Senator. One, a mnjority of the voters of this Senatorial district can and will vote for. Such a man will be nominated. POSTSCRIPT. _Tuesday, September 4th, 2 o'clock, P. IL We have just returned from the Conferee Meeting held at Bedford on'last evening, and it gives us great pleasure to announce the unanimous nomination of Hon. John Scott of this place, as the Democratic candidate for Senator. Mr. Scott is well known through out the District as one of the best men in it, and it will not do for the people to have a doubt of his succcess. He can and must be elected over Samuel S. Wharton. it would be an eternal disgrace upon every voter in the District to permit - Wharton to defeat the talented and upright Scott. WITAT DOUGLAS MEN HAVE A RIGGT TO DE MAND.—They have a right to demand of the Electors appointed by the Reading Conven tion, an unconditional pledge, that if elec ted, they will cast their votes in the Elec toral College for the nominees of the Na tional Democratic Convention, Douglas and Johnson. They have a right to demand of the Electors a pledge that so long as the names of Douglas and Johnson remain before the Electoral College that they cast their votes for them as the candidates of the party. The Elector or Electors refusing to give such pledges cannot expect and should not receive the support of the Democratic party. Wm. li. Welsh, chairman of the fu sion State Executive Committee, denounces all Democrats as traitors who refuse to assist in disorganizing the party by opposing the regular nominee for President—Stephen A. Douglas. Mr. Welsh is yet a young man, but he has the impudence of the political sin ner of double his years. Before '6l be will be a wiser if not a better man. The Chambersburg Times, a large and handsome sheet, has taken down the names of Lincoln and Hamlin and put up Douglas and Johnson. The conservative feeling in the Opposition party is crushing out Lincoln-Abolitionism. The true mon of the country in every direction aro flocking to the support of the " Little Giant," the man for the times. A correspondent from Norfolk, Va., writes : "Judge Douglas addressed the largest meeting ever held in Norfolk, from seven to ten thousand people being present, hne. Qrpated such a reaction in his favor here that, instead of being in a mi nority, as he was a week ago, his friends are now betting largely that be will poll a larger vote in the city than Breckinridge." BET- Autauga county, Alabama, which is the home of Senator Fitzpatrick, has at the late county election, gone for the Douglas ticket by a majority of several, hundreds.— Both the Bell and Disunion parties ran tick ets. The neighbors and friends of the Sena tor do not follow him in his support of the Breckinridge ticket. re- Lawrence Getts, editor of the Read inv Gazette, who has been actively canvassing Old Berks for months for the Congressional nomination as a Broekinridge man, was de feated two to one in the County Convention a week ago. Berks is all right for Douglas. Tom Florence, the big disorganizer in the National Convention, was defeated for re nomination to Congress in the Ist district in Philadelphia. One by one the enemies to the true Democracy are being set aside. BLAIR COUNTY.—Tho County Convention met at Hollidaysburg on the 15th—Presi dent, R. W. Christy; secretaries, William Forbes, IL M. M'lntosh andJ. P. Thompson. The following county ticket was nominated : Assembly, Col. William Jack ; Associate Judges, Samuel isctt, Col. John Woods ; District Attorney, Samuel T. Murray; Treas urer, Thomas M'Farlane ; Director of the Poor, William Wilson; County Auditor, Robert Todd. Archibald M'Allister was declared the choice of the county for Congress ; when on motion, Maj. Theo. Snyder, 0. A. Traugh and Samuel IL Bell, were appointed con ferees, with instructions to use all fair and honorable means to secure his nomination. After passing resolutions of a conciliatory character, and taking strong grounds for our candidate for Governor, Henry D. Foster,the Convention adjourned with much enthusiasm for the ticket. BRECKINRIDGE IN THE SO GTH.-A new Doug las journal, named the National Democrat, has been established in Alexandria, Louisiana. It is an ably conducted journal, and strenu ously sustains the cause of the Illinoisian.— J. W. Parker is editor. In his salutatory he says : " The men are nothing—parties are noth ing. The great question before us is, Union or Disunion. Breckinri(lge may be a giant in intellect, a Melanethon in purity, a Cin einnatus in patriotic intention, yet having lent himself to a faction whose aims aro un holy and traitorous, no lover of his country can support him. Ours is a common coun try. Politically, there should be no North, no South, no East, no West. Nor do we be lieve that the people recognize these divisions, either geographically or in feeling." This has the ring of true silver. When a spirit like this is abroad in the South, who will despair in the Union ? HENRY D. POSTER ON TICE SromP.—Gen. Foster made his first speech at Somerset, on Monday evening of last week. We take the following notice of it from the Democrat of that place ; " lion. Henry D. Foster took the floor amid the most tremendOus and deafening applause, the audience risi to their feet and giving him cheer after c 'When the excitement had subsided, Gen. Foster proceeded to dis cuss the political questions prominently be fore the people. He deplored the unhappy. dissensions at present existing in the Dem ocratic party, but declared that Congress had no right to legislate for the Territories on the subject of slavery, because there was no such power conferred by the Constitution ; that they could not be left without law, and it fol lowed that the Territorial legislature bad ab solute control of the subject. To deny this was to deny the right of self-government, the basis of our freedom. He vindicated the in dependence of the States as well as the Ter ritories, and held that the spirit of the framers of the Constitution could alone preserve the Union of the States—this was a spirit of harmony, and of brotherhood. No State could be kept in the Union against its will ; no right could be invaded with impunity.— He charged that the fanaticism ofJohn Brown was the result of abolition teachings, by which ignorant and rash men were incited to deeds of blood. He showed most conclusive ly that the tendency of the doctrines of the Republican party was to the dissolution of the Union, and called upon all patriotic men to unite to prevent the election of Lincoln.— He made a strong appeal for the Union, and its preservation and perpetuity, and hoped that all would yield implicit obedience to the laws—the duty of good and loyal citizens. Gen. Foster then took up the Tariff ques tion. He avowed himself strongly in favor of such discriminations as would best protect the great interests of Pennsylvania. He re ferred to his votes in Congress as his pledge on this subject. He doubted the sincerity of of the great portion of the Republican party on the Tariff, and was of the opinion that their apparently zealous support of the Tariff measure was for political effect. He spoke in terms of great personal respect for Col. Curtin, but denied that Col. Curtin had ever given such official pledge as he had given.— lie concluded by counseling all to deliberate solemnly as to the course they intended to pursue in the present crisis, and to act in that manner which would result in the great est good to our beloved State and Union. Gen. Foster was greatly applauded during the delivery of his remarks, and retired amidst loud and long-continued cheering." Treason ! Treason ! ! Treason ! ! ! It has alwas been our opinion that the ob ject of W. L. Yancey and other leaders of the bolters at Charleston, was to break up the Democratic party for the purpose of al lowing Lincoln to be elected, so that they would have a good excuse for making an at tempt to dissolve the Union. We do not say, nor do we believe,that Mr. Breckinridge had, or has any knowledge of Yancey & Co.'s schemes. Ile is, doubtless, their innocent victim. But the evidence is now clear that a conspiracy has been framed between many of the leading supporters of Mr. Breckin 7 ridge and the Republicans, to effect the election of Abraham Lincoln, We are informed on good authority, that a .§icie-cloor arrangement exists between the Breckiaridge , i and Lincoln Committees at Washington, whereby they are enabled to frank such doc uments over the country as will best suit their dark and evil purposes. The Republican Committee is flooding the country with the speech of Benjamin, of Louisiana, and the Breckinridge Committee sends its docu ments to Republican clubs to insure their dis tribution. Thomas B. Florence, the member of the Breckinridge Committee for this State, last week, sent under his own frank, a large bundle of documents to the Bedford P. 0., di rected to Peter 11. Shires, who is the Presi dent of the Lincoln Club, of this place. low far this base conspiracy extends, we do not know, but we feel it our duty as a Democratic editor to warn Democrats to be on their guard. If we were the strongest Breckinridge man in the county, treason like this would make us a friend of Mr. Douglas. We refer to this matter more in sorrow than in anger, for surely we have fallen upon evil times, when our own friends are striving to destroy us.— Bedford Gazette. Honorable" Tribute It is pleasant to occasionally meet with an honorable and manly tribute from an oppo nent to the virtues and ability of the man whom you support. An honest and frank confession emanating from a recognized re sponsible source, has weight and its due amount of influence. To Senator Douglas, since his nomination, testamonials innumer able from prominent men, have been gladly tendered. His pre-eminent worth, states manship, and ability have been accorded by men with whom he has been contending for years. Tho Lion. J. M. 'Harris, a leadinc , and influential old line Whig, of Maryland,' but a warm supporter of Bell and Everett, in a speech at Washington a few days since, paid the following honorable tribute to Judge Douglas : "I do not understand why, in God's name, it is that the Southern Democracy have so suddenly discovered that Stephen A. Douglas is a traitor, and a leper, and all that, to the interests of the South. Why, I recollect in the last Congress that Southern Senators and Southern representatives told me that Mr. Douglas was the only Democrat that ought to be nominated or could be elected. I recol lect that only one year ago some of these Southern Democrats who are now loudest in his condemnation were ;among the warmest and fastest of his personal friends and politi cal adherents; and I have no hesitation in saying, as my conviction and belief, that Stephen A. Douglas does not harbor the first shade of a shadow of feeling inimical to the continued unity of these Southern States.— I believe him to be a firm and fast friend of the Union, and while I repudiate utterly and entirely what I deem to be those dangerous political party heresies, I look upon him with personal admiration. I have seen him in yonder Senate chamber, hounded to the death by the Southern Democrats. I have seen him vexed by the venerable incumbent of the White louse. I have seen the heads of his political friends cut off by the flashing blade of the guillotine, because they chose to be his political friends against the wishes of James Buchanan ; and I have seen him present a spectacle that, no matter who presents it, will always challenge and receive my personal admiration—the spectacle of a bravo man standing up in the face of great obstacles, and fighting his battle with manliness and Spirit." -- I . ' I ' I .:Y.ANCEY 7 S CALCULATION.-Mr. Yancey, ,::: in ~i , . !...i: • speeeh the other day at Huntsville, said : ".The contest in 1856 was barely won by a united Democracy. We are now divided— have only 229 vote; the whole Southern States, with Oregon and California, divided between Breckinridge, Bell, and Douglas.". Thus we see (says the Vicksburg, Miss., Citizen) that the leader of the Breckinridge party, the man who played the part in the disruption of the Democracy at Charleston and Baltimore, now proclaims that very disruption as evidence that the Democracy will be defeated and Lincoln elected in No vember, exulting and chuckling all the while in the undisguised idea that this result will and must rend the Union in twain. lie thinks ho sees at last, only a little way in fu ture, the consummation of the measure in which his whole heart has been bound up for years; and his soul revels and riots:in fiendish joy. Gerrit Smith in the Field. The Abolition National Convention met here yesterday, and nominated the following ticket: , For President of the United States—Ger rit Smith, of New York. For Vice President—Samuel M'Farland, of Pennsylvania. For Electors at large—Frederick Douglas and Chas. Hammond. Douglas in Richmond RicratoND, Sept. I.—Mr. Douglas was well received on his arrival in this city, last even ing. He was escorted to the St. Charles Ho tel, and addressed an assembly in Capitol Square. He reiterated the doctrine of non intervention in the strongest s.ense. A BIG Gus.—Hon. John Letcher, Gover nor of Virginia, has recently declared for Douglas and Johnson. Douglas speeches in Virginia have completely routed Breckin ridge's forces in that State. RAILROAD EMBEZZLEMENTS.—The Harris burg State Sentinel of Sept. Ist says:—For the last few days the most exaggerated accounts have been in circulation in this city in regard to serious loss sustained by the Pennsylvania railroad company by the dishonesty of some of their employees. It gives us pleasure to state that the loss sustained by the company is not quite so serious as madam rumor has made it. The defaulting employees have se cured to the company almost every cent that has been taken by them, and the timely dis covery of the present peculation has secured the company from further loss of the same sort, by showing the necessity of adopting new guards and checks. The means adopt ed by the officers of the Company during the past three months, were so complete •in all the details as to enable them to understand fully the operations of all employees that were suspected. A general examination has taken place in the last few days in this city, Phila delphia, Pittsburg and other places, resulting in the recovery of cash, stocks, property, &c., to a considerable amount, being the invest ments of the proceeds of ticket agents and oth ers, and by them resold, and the daily appro priations from cash collections by conductors. A number of the conductors and several agents "bare been discharged. With the examples made, and the rigid system now adopted for ' examination of accounts, those now in the service will no doubt render faithful reports, and lead an honest, upright life for the future. .It is supposed that the evil, in a few years, would have grown to be a serious matter to the revenues of the company, and is therefore a matter of congratulation that the whole scheme was discovered, and has been so com pletely checked for the future. A HORRIBLE CASE. —The Tyrone Sear of Aug. 29th, details a horrible case of debauch ery on the part of a woman in Ironsville, in Blair county, and her consequent neglect of her child, some three weeks old. A few days since, while she was lying on the porch in front of her house, in a beastly state of intox ication, some neighbors were attracted by the cries of the infant and on going into the house, found it lying on the floor covered with filth, and so emaciated as to scarcely have the semblance of a human being. Its limbs were not thicker than the finger of a man, and its hands and feet resembled the claws of an animal, whilst its face was fairly dis torted with the pangs of hunger it was suf fering. The child was taken up and cared for by some of the humane neighbors, and a physician summoned; who was of the opinion that it was so far reduced by actual starva tion as to leave little hope of its recovery.— The inhuman mother, whose name is Biddy Creeley, (her husband, Dennis Creely, is now in jail on the charge of threatening the lives of his neighbors,) was arrested immediately and committed to jail on the charge of wil fully and cruelly neglecting and abandoning her child. She richly deserves a term in the penitentiary. M. Jobard, a French savant, has as tonished the scientific world. Tie has dis covered a way of suspending animation, and also of bringing the dead back to life. Tie professes to be able to restore a drowned man after two days' immersion, and a frozen subject after ten years' " oblivion." Provid ed a culprit's neck be not broken, he can be brought back to life after hanging a whole day. M. Jobard, with great sympathy for the " ills which flesh. are heir to," suggests that medical men should immediately make themselves acquainted with the secret of his invention, so that the poor and unfortunate might be suspended till better times come abroad, and the victims of thwarted love may enjoy the forgetfulness of a prolonged catalepsy. A commission has been named to examine M. Jobard's system of suspending animation. PULLING HIS EYES OUT. —A rag-picker in:Memphis, while walking about the wharf; was seized in a fit of insanity, and made a most vigorous attempt to pull both his eyes out. Running his fingers into his eyes, he endeavored to pull the balls from their sock ets, and before discovered actually succeeded in tearing away a portion of his left eye.— He was discovered, however, and four men found it difficult to prevent him from carry ing out his determination, nor did they suc ceed until they had bound him fast with cords.—Memphis Enquirer. CIIANGE.—The Times, of Chambersburg, formerly published by Frey and Foltz, has been purchased by Wm. Kennedy and Jacob Zellars, Esqrs. This paper heretofore has supported Lincoln and Hamlin, but, in future, we learn, it will be used in the support of Douglas and Johnson. The Editorial column will be under the control of Mr. Kennedy. SYRACUSE, Aug. 30. Clippings from Our Exchanges Ili Accounts from Japan state that a city of ten thousand inhabitants was swallowed up by an earthquake, in June last. XPEr The oldest inhabitant in Blair county is Mrs. Myers, who resides in Antis township, and who has reached the green old age of 103 years. rpa.. The Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy, a Douglas paper, says that the man who says that Georgia will go for Breckinridge is a fit subject for the insane asylum. xe—Among the curiosities discovered by the census takers is a pretty little girl of fif teen, in the southern part of Monson, New York, who has a husband one hundred and seven years of age. There are published in the United States and Canada nearly 3000 newspapers. More than one-half are weeklies ; the remain der are divided between semi-weeklies, tri weeklies, and dailies. ia,PRAYING FOR R.trzr.—Vi r e learn from the Mobile Mercury that a meeting was held lately in the northern part of Rankin county, Alabama, to pray for rain. RAILROAD SURVEY.—The Tyrone and Clear field R. R. Co. are now surveying the route from their junction with the Lock Haven road to this place. We learn that they intend pushing their work to a rapid completion.— Tyrone Slur, Aug. 20. ge— Amos Kendall, the best Post Master General we have had for twenty years, and Gen. Jackson's best editor and his chosen Biographer, has come out for Douglas- He says he has always been a Democrat and a Union Man, in favor of regular nominations, and is too old now to change his course by supporting the Seceders. le—There will be a meeting of the millers and distillers of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri at the Ohio White Sulphur Springs, on the 30th inst., for the purpose of consulting together, and to adopt such meas ures as would seem beneficial to their inter ests. . Ifte2LJ.. young boy died in Newlmryport a few days since from internal inflamation, and a post mortem examination proved that he had swallowed the hull of an oat or some grain, which lodging in the intestines had gathered matter which caused death. But a short time before he had swallowed a cent, from which no evil resulted. A PORTLAND PAPER says that Gen. Tom Thumb is to take a wife from that city, not only "one of Portland's fairest daughters," but "the handsome and accomplished daugh ter of one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens." She is said to he very "pretty, be low the ordinary height, and heiress to quite a large estate." A few days since, David nel per, while engaged in threshing with a machine, in South Huntingdon township, Westmoreland county, was caught in the tumbling shaft, and before he could extricate himself, had every particle of clothing, save his haots,torn to pieces, but being a stout, muscular man, braced himself in such a position as to pre vent the occurrence. ItEl. Some days ago a man named Horton was killed by his own son in Clay county, Indiana, in a quarrel about a pistol which the father desired to take from his son, to prevent his killing somebody with it. The parricide was lodged in jail; and in the same jail were three of his brothers—one of them confined for theft, and the other two for ob structing legal process. Four brothers in jail at the same time for different offences is a special not often witnessed. DIED rnom Joy.—A man named Patrick Hennesy died from excessive joy, at Johns town, a few days since. The father of the deceased suddenly arrived in Johnstown from Ireland, and his son was so overcome by the intelligence that ere he met his parent he fell down and expired. He was a worthy young man, and his death is deeply regretted by all who knew him. THERE is now growiii; - ; in the gardens of Moorsend, near Cheltenham, England, an ex traordinary white rose tree, thirty feet in height. It is a perfect picture, and,ls estima ted to have between 18,000 to 20,000 blos soms upon it, being literally smothered in bloom, besides having thrown off a whole heap of petals, which lie in a cluster around it, and present the appearance of a bed of snow. "How will Alabama go ?" is a ques tion we are .asked by correspondents - almost every day, says the Selma Sentinel. Why, there is no more doubt about Alabama going for Douglas and Johnson than there is of the election taking place. In 1856 there wore 75,291 votes cast for President, 46,739 for Buchanan and 28,552 for Fillmore. .As the indications are now, Douglas will receive 36,000, Bell 22,000, Breckinridge about 17,- 000.—Appeal. SUDDEN AND SINGULAR DEATH.-A physi cian named Friedlander died at his residence in Chicago, 111., last week, after a most dis tressing illness, caused, as was believed, from being bitten in the face by a fly that had brought poison communicated from the car cass of a poisoned dog. No medical remedies availed any thing, and so fearful were the effects of the disease that a few hours after the breath had left his body the friends were forced to hurry his remains into the ground. STARS AT NOON-DAY.—Tho New Haven Pal ladium says quite an excitement prevailed in that city on Monday, caused by the discovery that a bright star was visible high in the heavens and comparatively near the sun, be tween 11 and 1 o'clock. The New Haven people all became star-gazers, and in every street there were people pointing out the phe nomenon. It was very plainly seen, when once the eye had the right direction, and was so bright as to astonish everybody. It was seen at an elevation of 40 to 50 degrees, and in a southeast direction. A PENNSYLVANIAN KILLED BY A GRIZZLY BEAR.—The San Francisco Bulletin, gives an account of a Mr. Woodward,of Pennsylvania, who was killed in California on the 25th of June, by a grizzly bear. Having, in his rambles, come upon the track of the bear, he followed him up and fired, but failed to dispatch the beast; whereupon the bear threw him to the ground and chewed his head and face nearly to pieces, he being left entirely blind. In that most horrible condi tion he wandered for about three-quarters of a mile at times walking, and at times tum bling and rolling down the rough rocks, un til, through exhaustion, he laid down and died. In that state he was found four days after being missed. fte- They are pretty severe on newspaper thieves in Philadelphia. In the Court of Quarter Sessions last week, Judge Ludlow sentenced a young man to an imprisonment of three months in the County Prison, for stealing two newspapers—worth 3 cents each. Now, this proves it is a sin to sleal newspa pers. What should be done with persons who have taken, a paper for each week for years and never paid anything for them ? A "RESPECTABLE FAMILY."—The family of Caleb and Ellice Benedict, of. Fairfield coun ty, Conn., consists of 15 children, 94 grand children, and 2G great grandchildren—in all 137 persons, 119 of whom aro living. The combined ages of Mrs. Benedict and her 14, children, who are still living, is 797 years.— Mrs. Benedict is 77 years of age, enjoys the best health, is likely to live a number of years, and to see the fifth generation, as her oldest great grandchild is now a girl of 16 years old. PENNSYLVANIA OIL DISCOVERIES. - New discoveries are daily made in the oil regions of Pennsylvania. A well has recently been opened at Fideout, from which were taken fifteen barrels of oil in twenty-two minutes.— The great trouble at pressent appears to be the inability to obtain a sufficient number of barrels to supply the demand. There is no doubt but that a very large business.will re sult from these oil discoveries in Western Pennsylvania. As a burning fluid there is nothing superior to this oil. Already the price gf it has gone up in Europe, and new fields of demand are continually opening. ,g.z(' l s A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Pike's Peak, says:— A farmer banker from Leavenworth is now in the mines, engaged in selling pies. fld was a deacon in one of the churches in East ern Kansas—here he retails whiskey on Sun day. Last year, on the Republican route, I encountered an ex-Cincinnati lawyer and an actress from the New York Bowery Theatte, united in bonds matrimonial, and englged in keeping a stage station on the Great Plains, 400 miles from civilization. artArnie.---What order will the reader take on the following ? Isn't it boyish ? Ima gine the chap—a three-year old, bare-headed and bare-footed : The other day a boy came tearing round a corner with his rags fluttering in the ‘vind, his face smeared with molasses, and a shingle flourishing in his hand, while he was shout ing to another boy, about the size of a pepper box who stood nearly a quarter of a mile clown the street :"0 Bill, Bill, Bill get as m a ny boys as you can, and as many shingles as ever you can, and come up the street round the corner as fast as ever you can, for there's a big hogsit of lasses busted on the pavement —busted all to smash V' BAROMETERS FOR EVERYBODY.—In several large farm-houses in Lancashire, they use the following as a weather indicator. A leech is put into a glass bottle full of water, the latter being renewed every one or two (lays, If the clay is to be wet, the leech lies close at the bottom of the bottle ; if the day is to be showery, it occupies a place at about the centre (upwards) of the bottle, but if the day is to be fine, the creeping thing lies on the surface of the water. A gentleman in this town (Buffalo) informs me that he has tried for the last seven months, and finds it worked accurately correct ; ten times more so, ho says than any glass patent, or other wise.—B ifflizto 4c -tweak of Aug. 30. CURE FOR IN-GROWING NMI.S.-It is stated by a correspondent, that cauterization by but tallow is an immediate cure fur in-grow ing nails. He says : I put a small piece of tallow in a spoon, and heated it over a lamp until it became very hot, and dropped two or three drops between the nail :;ind granalatiuns. The effect is almost magical. Pain and ten derness are at once relieved, and in a few days the granulations all go, leaving the diseased parts dry and destitute of all feel ing, and the edge of the nail exposed so as to admit of being pared away without any inconvenience. I have tried the plan re peatedly since, with the most - satisfactory re sults. The operation causes little if any pain, if the tallow is properly heated. POISONED PAPER.—The Philadelphia inqui rer mentions the ease of a young lady in that city, who for years had a painful and loath some disease which threatened to be fatal.— Suspecting accumulative poison, her food and drink were frequently analyzed, without de tecting any. At last it was discovered that the paper on the walls of her room was col ored green with the aid of arsenic ; and that the vapor from this was the cause of her ill ness. This important scientific development in relation to green paper was made known years ago in France, and has been published everywhere ; yet many of our citizens still persist in its use, regardless of its poisonous attributes, when the Upas breath is not more deadly in its effect. DROWNED.—The West Chester Republican of the 29th, says : Jesse Hatfield, aged about 13 years, son of Samuel Hatfield of Hunting don co., Pa., and grand-son of Samuel Hat= field, of West Cain township, Chester county, was drowned in the dam at Hatfield's rolling mill in West Cain township, on the afternoon of Thursday last. He was amusing himself with a little skiff about the breast of the darn and was not seen after 3 o'clock. in the even ing search was commenced and his hat was found in the darn. The water was then dragged along the breast of the dam and the body soon rocovered, but life was extinct.— His father was telegraphed to and came on next morning. He took the remains to tingdon for interment. A DARING ROBBERY.—A robbery, which, has never had its parallel in this section of the country, was committed at the houso of Mr. Jason Kirk, near Lumber City, in Clearfield county, on Saturday afternoon last. Mr. Kirk was at Lumber City, and his son Isaac was absent, plowing, leaving no one in the house but a girl about 15 years of age, and a boy of 14. About four o'clock, a tall, slim man, with sandy whiskers, and wearing a black coat and pantaloons, and a high black hat, came to the house and informed the chil dren that the cattle were in the corn, and to hurry and put them out. They ran imme diately to the corn-field, and in the meantime he broke open several chests and succeeded in getting $3OO in silver and between $lOOO and $l2OO in gold ! The old gentleman re turned just as the children got back breath less from the corn-field. The robber bad put down the fence and turned the cattle into the field in order to get the children away. His ruse was completely successful, and up to this time they have no traces of him or the money. He had been seen previously prowl ing about the country in company with a short, thick-set man, iwho is doubtless an ea complice.—Tyrond Star, Aug. 29.
