THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE—The message,
if received in time, will accompany this
week's Globe in an extra. If not received in
time it will be mailed to our subscribers to-
morrow.
The News.
Sufficient returns are received to show
that Mr. Douglas has received in the free
States alone more than thirteen hundred
thousand votes. lie has got one hundred
thousand more votes than Buchanan received
in 1856, despite the combined opposition of
Mr. Buchanan and the Republicans.
He has about as strong a vote in the free
States as Fremont had in 1856.
He has more votes in the free States than
there were votes polled for all candidates
combined in the Slave States. This is a fact
well worthy the attention of the people of the
South,
Our exchanges from all sections of the
Union, come to us filled with failures, sus
pensions and a general break-up in the finan
cial, commercial and industrial affairs of the
nation. This is truly a deplorable state of
affairs ; but we do not deem it the part of
wisdom longer to withhold the true state of
the case from the people. And all this is
the work of reckless political demagogues
North and South.
A number of citizens of Maryland hay
ing applied to Governor Hicks, of that State,
to call together the State Legislature, to con
sider the disunion question, he replies by re
fusing the request. The Governor is willing
to go as far as possible in defence of Southern
rights ; but lie is unwilling to place lraryland
in the position of seeming to entertain treason
able designs against the Government and the
Union.
According to the latest returns received,
the whole number of votes cast is 4,500,000 ;
of which Abraham Lincoln received 1,800,-
000, Stephen A. Douglas 1,300,000, John C.
Brecliinriclge 800,000, and John Bell, 600,-
000.
—At Louisville, Ky., on Monday night,
the 26th ult., a mass meeting was held, com
posed of men of all parties, at which resolu
tions were adopted declaring that Kentucky
does not despair of justice with the Union,
and appealing to the South not to desert the
common cause.
The Governor of Virginia has issued his
proclamation declaring that nine Bell and six
Breekinridge electors were chosen at the re
cent election.
Fifteen neg,roes and one white man are
reported to have been hung for an attempt to
create an insurrection in Burksville, Ken
tucky. The details have not reached the
press.
Outrages are continued in Kansas and
in the border counties of Missouri by. Mont
gomery's band of Abolitionists. Late ac
counts state that large numbers of families
were leaving Bourbon and Linn counties in
consequence, of threats of violence. Much
insecurity was also felt in Missouri,and large
numbers of slaves have been sent to Clinton
for security. The Sheriff of Bates county
had been requested to raise a volunteer force
to protect the border. Meetings are being
held in all the border counties of Missouri to
take measures of protection,and supply them
selves with arms.
At the last accounts, Montgomery was en
camped near Fort Scott, and defied the world
to take him. It is thought that he will leave
when he hears of the approach of Gen. Har
ney and Gen. Frost.
Montgomery's men are all through the
country giving out reports to mislead the peo
ple. These frequent outrages in the West by
Abolition bands, are kindling in section
a strong disunion spirit.
Judge Douglas arrived in Washington
on Saturday afternoon last. In the evening,
large number of his friends, headed by the
Marine Band, proceeded to his residence to
pay him the compliment of a serenade, and
congratulate him on his safe return. They
found him surrounded by his family, and a
number of his intimate personal friends.—
He never appeared in better health, though
still suffering a little lameness from his fall
at Montgomery, Alabama. It being gener
ally known in the city that Judge Douglas
was to be serenaded, an immense crowd was
attracted anxious to hear his views on the
distressing question of Secession. His speech
was able and to the point, and we regret we
cannot give it this week.
Living in the West
The great majority of people who are living
comfortably on farms in Pennsylvania, and
those who are doing well in the towns and cit
ies, have a very inadequate idea of living in
the West. The change of habits and associ
ations, though great, are, perhaps, the least
important of any which meet the settler in
those regions. The most important changes
are those of climate, the mode of living, and
the general features of the country. We
speak of the new, and, as yet, thinly settled
portions of the West, those regions where the
land is not so well cultivated and as dear now,
and the population as numerous, as in the
older States.
' There is an idea, says the Philadelphia Led
ger, that little labor is required to cultivate
prairie land, and, to persons from a wooded
country, where much labor is at first required
to clear the land, the prairies of the West
have a very great charm, not only from their
novelty, but from the fact that there are no
trees to cut down, no stones to pick, and no
stumps to encounter. These seeming advan
tages in speedy cultivation, however, very
soon turn out to be real and most serious dis
advantages, for everything else, save the land,
that is necessary to complete a farm and ren
der it a place of comfortable abode, is want
ing, and only to be obtained, elsewhere, by
hard labor and very considerable expense.
There are no running springs, always filled
with wholesome water ; but should there be
water on the place, or within miles of it, un
less it borders on some of the larger streams
and rivers, it is found to be stagnant, or run
ning slowly in a deep gulch, murky and un
fit to drink. The want of timber is one of
the grestest privations which can meet the
farmer, being constantly needed for fuel, as
well as for fencing, building and other pur
poses. No advantages of speedy cultivation
can compensate for the absence of fire-wood
alone.
The soil generally is exceedingly fertile,
and capable, in favorable seasons, of produ
cing large crops ; but there are many draw
backs which the settlers meet with that are
not known or considered, until proved by ex
perience. Very great irregularity and uncer
certainty prevail as to the growth and har
vesting of the crops. Some seasons are too
wet, and other seasons are too dry, and it is
peculiar in the West that these seasons come
in the greatest extremes. Then, again, hail
storms and tornadoes frequently sweep over
the prairies carrying destruction in their path.
Experience has shown that, on an average, a
full crop is not, from some cause or other, har
vested more than about 'once in every three
years. Daring the seasons of short crops
very little more is raised than suffices for the
wants of the farmer and his household, and
in plenteous seasons the yield is generally so
abundant in the country, that the price ob
tained is no remuneration for the labor.
To make a living in the West reauires hard
labor, and the enduring of many privations
which are incident to a new and thinly settled
country. The necessaries, not to speak of
the comforts, - of life are difficult to obtain; in
many cases the distance of hauling with ox
teams consumes much of the time, and forms
a very great and wholly unproductive portion
of the labor. Thousands of people have dis
covered that the same unremitting toil which
has barely made them a living in the West,
would have been far more profitable, and
would, in all probability, have secured them
a competency in the older States. There are
large tracts of excellent farming land in Penn
sylvania which can be bought as cheap as
land in the West, and where the opportunities
of making a comfortable living, and of real
izing a competency, are much better and far
more certain. With a healthy climate, and
the advantages of plenty of timber, good water,
regular seasons and harvests, convenient
mills, stores and schools, and a ready, near
and cash market for produce, it is folly to
leave Pennsylvania to seek homes in the
West.
A SINGULAR FACT.-A singular fact is re
lated of two citizens of Southbridge, Mass.,
by the Webster Times, who have jointly owned
and occupied a farm in that town for sixteen
years, but have lately dissolved partnership.
During the whole of this period no accounts of
any kind have been kept by either of the par
ties. Both individuals were men of family,
occupying different portions of the same house,
and when either wished to use cash he went
to the drawer in which it was kept and took
it, no account being kept in a single instance.
Yet in all these sixteen years, not a word of
fault was spoken ; no ill-feeling, jealousy or
suspicion was shown, and perfect harmony
subsisted between the parties to the day of
their separation. The final dissolution in
business was occasioned by the marriage of
a member of one of the families, when it was
thought the house might not be able to con
tain " the consequences ;" so one party raised
the value of one half the premises in cash,
paid it over to the retiring partner, who quiet
ly left. We believe this to be an unparal
leled case of honesty and confidence.
A Neil . York boy superintends the
manufacture of orange wood toothpicks in
Chili, South America, which are whittled out
by the children and the aged and decrepit,
and he sends them to his mother in New
York, who sells large numbers of them at
twenty cents a thousand. The Astor House
buys about eight or ten barrels at a time;
and popular restaurants consume about a
thousand per week.
The Tyrone and Lock Haven Railroad
was sold in Philadelphia on Wednesday
last, for $51,000.
IMPORTANT TO TANNERS.—An important
discovery in regard to the practical uses of
Petroleum or Rock Oil, now found in quanti
ties, has been made by Mr. John Lamb, a
tanner of Allegheny township, Venango
county, in this State. He says that during
and since last August he has been using the
oil of several wells in Venango county in his
tannery, as a substitute for fish oil, and with
most astonishing success. During last month
he prepared one hundred sides of upper leath
er and eight dozen of calf skins with this oil.
Theyhave been exhibited to practical leather
dealers from Pittsburg and from Boston,
and a quantity sent to the Eastern markets
with entire satisfaction to dealers. It makes
a cleaner and smoother finish than the fish
oil, fills up instead of opening the pores of
the leather, so as to make it almost water
proof, and gives it the finish of the finest calf
skin. It is also a superior article for mixing
blackening, having the quality of cutting the
lamp-black. The smell does not remain after
the dressing process is completed upon the
the leather. The oil is also used in the crude
state, costing one-third the price of fish oil.
As this oil is now used also by the painters
in their business instead of linseed oil, the
demand is likely in any event to he ample.
AN INCIDENT OF LIFE IN THE GOLD RE
GION.—Among the deep defiles of the Rocky
Mountains, lately, a small company of men
stood around the new made grave of a dead
companion. With heads uncovered they lis
tened attentively to the words of the preacher
as he offered up a prayer. While in the
midst of it, one of the company discovered
" the color" in the earth at his feet thrown
up to make room for the remains of the de
ceased. In a loud whisper he communicated
the rather exciting itelligence to his compan
ion. All heard it, even the clergyman, who,
suspending his prayer, opened his eyes to see'
the auditory scatter in every direction to
stake off gold claims. Calling in a loud voice
io stake hint off a "claim," he reclosed his
eyes, hastily concluded his prayer and started
off on a run to join his fellows in pecpriDg a
claim.
Support Your Home Paper
[From Clark's School Visitor for November.]
The world is flooded with papers—all sorts
of papers—secular papers, religious papers ;
papers for the farmer, the mechanic, the
teacher, the child ; daily, weekly, monthly
papers ; papers pictorial and papers congres
sional ; funny papers and stupid papers ; Tri
bunes, Posts, Forums—Messengers, Advo
cates, Heralds—Banners, Flags, Trumpets—
Day-books, Journals, Ledgers—Worlds, Suns,
Stars —Dispatches, Expresses, Couriers—
Chronicles, Examiners, Reporters, and a
thousand other famous papers, all of which
are scattered broadcast throughout the land;
but one of the best papers for a family of
young persons, and the one deserving the first
and promptest patronage from the head of
the household, is the indispensable local or
county paper—the home paper.
We would earnestly recommend farmers
and mechanics, teachers, lawyers, doctors,
preachers, by all means, to encourage first
your own paper, published in your county
town and containing all the local news of
your neighborhood. It is a grand mistake for
persons in the country or at remote distances
from the great cities,to send their money hun
dreds of miles away in exchange either for
a stale daily, or a weekly made up of dead
dailies, and expect thus to find profitable and
entertaining reading for a family.
Be neighborly. Subscribe and pay your
dollar or two, as the price may be, for your
home paper. If it happen to bo a little dull
at times, breathe, new life into it by writing
something lively for its columns, or sending
a few new subscribers and as many dollars
to the editor. Sure cure for dullness ! encour
age home enterprise and home industry. En
courage home talent by teaching your chil
dren to contribute articles, short, pointed,
useful, suggestive, to the juvenile department
of the home paper.
Friends, think of this, and resolve to assist
your neighbor, the publisher of the paper es
tablished and continued to promote your in
terests and your happiness. Giro your near
est paper a hearty welcome these winter eve
nings ; and should you have an extra quarter
or half dollar left for reading money, give it
to Johnnie or Mary, and let it be expended
in securing the regular visits of some live
youth's paper. Such investments will pay a
thousand fold.
Railroad Disaster
Passenger Car Precipitated into the Lehigh
River—The Conductor and Four Lady
Passengers Drowned—Miraculous Escape
of other Passengers.
BiAIiCII CIIU:sZK, Nov. 29
The Beaver Meadow passenger train,which
left here at 11.15 this morning, was thrown
from the track at Bear creek dam, by the
breaking of a rail, and the passenger car, con
taining some twenty-eight persons, was pre
cipitated into the Lehigh river, a distance of
about fifteen feet.
Four of the passengers and the conductor
were drowned.
The announcement of the catastrophe caused
an intense excitement among the residents
of this town, it being thought impossible that
any could have escaped. It was certainly a
miracle that so many were enabled to extri
cate themselves from the submerged car.
The following is a list of the passengers
drowned
Mrs. Farrow and sister, of Beaver Meadow.
The two Misses Smith, of Mauch Chunk.
Robert Nichols, the conductor. •
Some ten or dozen of the passengers were
saved only through the utmost exertions of
the hands on the train, who mounted the car
and broke away a portion of the roof before
it sunk entirely.
Mr. John Craig, one of the passengers,
broke through the window, and escaped that
way.
The car sunk in twenty feet of water.
The bodies of all the victims of the disaster
have been recovered.

From Washington
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3d, 1860.
The Senate convened at 12 M., a quorum
of Senators being present.
The House met at the same hour.
It being announced that the President
would not submit his message until to-mor
row, the Senate and House adjourned after
being in session about an hour and a half.
Among the various propositions, with a
view of quieting the present political evils is
one proposing that the representatives of all
the southern States—South Carolina excepted
—have a Conference and prepare a list of
their grievances, and what will satisfy them,
as a remedy. This is to be submitted to the
conservative Republicans, and if it meets
with sufficient favor from them, then after the
reading of the President's message, that part
in reference to the political troubles be refer
red to a committee of one from each State.—
This proposition is discussed to-day. It is
said that several prominent Republicans have
already acquiesced in it.
Special Despatches to " The Press."
RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY COBB
The resignation of Secretary Cobb, which
I have frequently predicted, is definitely ex
pected on Wednesday. Speculation is rife
as to who will be his successor. It will he a
conservative man from the South.
3IILIT.ARY PREPARATIONS
Great quantities of arms have been order
ed in the North by parties in the South. In
many of the States the authorities are placing
all the important points on a war footing.—
In all of the armories there is work enough
for a year. So great is the demand beyond
_the capacity of labor, that Southern agents
report it impossible to have all their orders
filled.
CABINET srncuLITIONS
A gentleman lately arrived from Spring
field, Illinois, states that there is a strong
feeling there in favor of Mr. Lincoln's offer
ing the State Department to John Bell, of
Tennessee.
TEE REVENUE AND THE TARIFF.
It is confidently stated on the authority of
Hon. John Sherman, the Chairman of the
Committee of Ways and Means in the House,
that the first business will be to put the Mor
rill tariff bill, which passed the House last
session, and is now in the Senate, on its pas
sage in the latter body. No loan will be ef
fective without some such basis as this.—
When wo issuo treasury notes we rust hays
a revenue to redeem them.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA MEMBERS
The members from South Carolina, in
both branches, who may take their seats, will
retire as soon as South Carolina secedes,
which is expected to take place hofore Christ
mas. Their withdrawal may give the Sen
ate to the Opposition, especially if they are
followed by the Senators and Representatives
from several other States.
WILL THERE BE COERCION ?
All moderate men deprecate force against
the seceders ; but the recent declaration of
Mr. Alemminger, of South Carolina, that
Fort Moultrie must be yielded by the United
States to the Disunionnists, may compel a diff
erent policy.
THE UNION FEELING AT WASHINGTON.
On Thanksgiving Day the sermons were
all filled with earnest Union sentiments, and
were listened to by great crowds. At the
Church of the Ephiphany the Star Spangled
Banner was played by the grand organ and
sung by the choir with much effect.
ANXIETY TO HEAR FROM EUROPE
Much solicitude is felt as to the next advi
ces from Europe by Capitalists and politicians.
If the drafts of our merchants are thrown out,
and holders of American securities should
take the alarm, and propose to sell at a sac
rifice, there will be a double calamity. We
shall get very little specie, and be compelled
to pay out large amounts to foreign bond
holders.
The Present Century and the Next
Whilst the minute details of the recent
Presidential election are not yet accurately
ascertained, yet the general result was known
throughout the United States the day after
the election took place. If science and im
provement continue to progress at this rate,
it will not 130 long before results will be
known before they happen. To steam and
the telegraph we are indebted for the pres
ent facilities for transmitting the news. The
next discovery, for we cannot suppose that
invention is at an end, may yet arm man with
a power hitherto and now deemed unattain
able—a power in conflict with all our present
ideas of his capacity. Should the remaining
forty years of the nineteenth century be mark
ed by the same degree of progress and dis
covery that has characterized the last forty
years of it, then indeed will the twentieth
century be the opening of an era that may,
in some respects realize our conceptions of
the millenium. Should improvement in hu
man character keep pace with improvement
in human knowledge, those whose destiny it
shall be to live at that period will be happy
indeed I It is curious to think of the mirac
ulous devegpment that they will manifest.—
The learning of the past will be crowned by
the now urldreamed of wonders that will be
added to it by the forty remaining years of
this century, in which lie buried so many
events.
A dwarf on a giant's back can see further
than the giant, but when the men of the twen
tieth century shall be mounted on the suc
cessive shoulders of the men of all the ante
cedent centuries, what wonderful things may
we not expect them to see! It will be a priv
ilege, indeed, to live in that period.—Penn
sylvanian.
ABOUT A SNAKE.—About two years ago, a
man named Milton J. Gerhardt, of Sterling,
Wayne Co., Pa., was taken with an internal
bodily ailment, the symtoms of which consis
ted of an unpleasant feeling in the right side
and a beating and thumping through the en
tire system, when in a reclining posture.
The pain increased in intensity with the run
of time, and caused the sufferer to apply every
avaiable remedy for relief. He consulted
many physicians, in different parts of the
country, but nearly all disagreed as to the na
ture of the disease. He also came to this
place and consulted Drs. Martin and Romig,
who expressed an opinion that he was affected
with Liver Complaint. He kept on taking
medicine, and latterly took hemlock gum in
liquor. While employing this remedial
agent he became possessed of a strong thirst
for milk, and accordingly partook of a large
quantity, which caused him to feel a choking
and crawling sensation in his stomach and
throat. Straining his breath outward and
reaching his fingers into his throat he pulled
out a LIVE SNAKE, ten inches long! He is
now entirely rid of his former sufferings.—

COXUtESPONDENCE OF Tian GLOBE.
WARREN CO., ILL., Nov. 27, 1860
DEAR GLOBE :-I again take up my pen to
inform you that we are still going on, though
Lincoln is President elect.and Douglas is not.
What consoles me, however, is to think that
we did our duty, and it cannot be helped.—
Buchanan and the Fire-eaters of the South
did more to force Lincoln to the position he
is to occupy than ever the Wide-Awakes or
what nots of his own party did. However,
the Democrats have a majority in both branch
es of Congress, so Lincoln will have consid
erable of a safe-guard.
Gallant W. A. Richardson formerly Gover
nor of Nebraska and candidate for Governor
of Illinois in 1856, has about 2250 majorty
in the sth Congressional district.
The weather has been extremely cold with
snow, since Thursday the 22d, and corn gath
ering is tied up. The thermometer has been
down to Zero two mornings, and one whole
day was no higher than 8° above Zero ; to
day is milder, though still cold, and there is
about three inches of snow in the fields. I
.have about 100 bushels of corn out yet. Corn
only brings from 12 to 17 cents per bushel,
and costs at least one third of that to take it
the 12 or 14 miles we live from market. I
doubt it will not be more than 20 cents till
towards spring. The general average of corn
per acre this year is about 65 bushels, some
makes 80 and but little makes less than 50.
Wheat is now 65 cents since the river is like
ly to freeze up ; it was 75 last week. Pota
toes are about ten cents per bushel and dull
sale. Prairie chickens are having a bad time
of it since the snow, one man shot three doz.
yesterday—they are worth about $2,00 per
dozen in Monmouth. I know two hunters
who killed over 60 dozens in about six weeks
last winter—they expect to do a much heav
ier business in the chicken line the present
winter.
Day after to-morrow is our Thanksgiving
day, the same as in Penna. Nothing more.
I hope to visit Huntingdon before spring.

Accident on the Pennsylvania. Central
Railroad
The express train which left Pittsburg at
3.05 on Thursday morning ran into the rear
of a freight train which was standing on the
track at the Blairsville intersection, fifty-four
miles from Pittsburg. The collision took
place at a few minutes before six o'clock,
and resulted in the maiming of the conductor
and fireman, and in the complete demolition
of six freight cars, with their contents. Two
of the three passenger cars were also consid
erably broken.
It seems that, owing to the slippery condi
tion of the rails, the engine of the freight
train was unable to draw its load, and had
come to a stand-still just on a curve. A flag
man had been sent back the usual distance,
six hundred yards, to stop the Express, and
his signal was seen. The Express engine
was instantly reversed, and the brakes whis
tled down, with but little effect, however, in
checking the speed of the train. Besides the
ice on the rails, there is a heavy down grade
at this point, and all the wheels slid without
perceptibly diminishing the speed. When
the collision took place, the Express train
was moving about twenty miles an hour.—
The engineer kept his place on the engine
and was uninjured.
The fireman jumped, and struck upon his
face. His face and head are badly cut, and
the gash, under his eye, is a serious injury.
The conductor Harry Dunbar, of Newport,
Perry county, was at one of the brakes, and
was forced into the door, while one leg was
caught between the platforms of the two
cars, and his ankle badly crushed by a pro
jecting bolt. The passengers worked nearly
an hour with a saw and an axe, before he
could be released from his painful position.
He suffered greatly during this time, but for
tunately the limb was not broken.
The ends of two passenger cars were crushed
in, and the passengers thrown violently from
their seats, but, with the exception of a few
bruises, none of them were injured. They
came on in the mail train three hours later.
Two freight cars were entirely broken up,
the engine going completely through them.
Two others were overturned, and lay with the
wheels in the air. They were loaded with
flour, which was scattered over everything,
making the vicinitylook as if a heavy snow
had recently fallen. The machinery of the
engine is much broken, and it is extremely
fortunate that so little injury of limb and no
loss of life took plane,
The Needle Women. of London
A correspondent of the London Times, de
scribing one of the great mantua-making es
tablishments in that city, communicates the
following facts :
"Work commences every morning at 7
o'clock and continues till 11 at night—a pe
riod of 16 hours, the only intervals allowed
being about 10 minutes for each meal—the
total amount of time allowed for—eating their
food, I was going to say, but surely " bolt
ing" is the more appropriate phrase—being
40 minutes a day ; thus leaving 15 hours and
20 minutes as the period devoted to work.—
And this, be it remembered, is not merely
during the busy season, but for all the year
round, from January to December. The only
day of leisure which the girls of this estab
lishment have is Sunday. From Monday
morning to Saturday night they are as com
plete prisoners as any in Newgate. They
know not whether the sun shines or the rain
failsat that:time. They are not:allowed to cross
the threshold even to purchase a pair of shoes
or a new gown for themselves, and must em
ploy their friends outside to do this for them.
Nor is the accommodation in-doors such as
in any way to reconcile them to this close con
finement. The work-room, in which ten or
twelve of them are employed, is only about
twelve feet square, and is entirely devoid of
arrangements fur ventilation, which is the
more to be deplored, as during the evening
they have to encounter the heat and foul air
of three flaming gas-burners right over their
heads, every door and window being shut by
which a breath of pure air could possibly en
ter. The bed-rooms are equally uncom
comfortable, no fewer than six persons being
huddled into one, and four into another."
• It is impossible to contemplate the condi
tion of this class of work-women (as disclosed
by the facts quoted) without keenly sympa
thizing with it, and wishing that something
might be done to mitigate its evils and mis
ery.
X . A.r. Pennsylvania made the first turnpike
road in the United States, laid the first rail
road, established the first water-works, ran
the first locomotive, established the first hos
pital, the first law school, the first public mu
seum, the first hail of music, and the first li
brary in the world opened freely to all.

HUNG FOR THE NINETEENTH TIME.----A West
ern Missouri contemporary tells the follow
ing :
" On Tuesday last, news come to this city
that a man was seen hanging between Inde
pendence and Maxwell's Landing. The Cor
oner was promptly notified of the fact, and
he, in discharge of his duty, as promptly re
paired to the scene ; but to his surprise found
the man alive kicking and walking about as
other men do, with no rope around his neck
—where the rope ought to be. He the made
some inquiries about the victim, and the
old woman—that is Mrs. Ellicott, the wife
of the hung man replied "that he was cut
down, but not dead ;" and further remarked,
" that it was about the 19th time that he had
attempted to hang himself and hadn't yet
succeeded, but she'd be tetotally darned if he
mightn't hang the next time until he died ;
that she would never cut the cord again to
let him breathe easy." We understand that
Ellicott is in the habit of hanging himself
every time be has a family jar, and although
he has made so many attempts has never yet
got without sight of the house, where his wife
would never fail to cut him down before his
wind shortened.
TERRIFIC SCENE.-A Thousand Animals
Burnt Alice.—We announced Saturday the
burning of the Pacific at Uniontown, Ken
tucky, one of the finest steamers on the west
ern waters. She had a very largo quantity
of live stock on board, and the burning of
these poor creatures must have been a sicken
sight. One account says Mr. Robert Ford, a
passenger, cut the halter of one of his fine
horses, which swam ashore. A large bullock
also swam out, but died as soon as it reached
the shore. The scene of the burning boat
and its thousand head of live stock, all tied
to the stake, a prey to the devouring flames,
was fearful and horrible in the extreme.—
There were seven hundred and fifty sheep,
and one hundred and thirty head of fat cat
tle, mules and horses, all burnt alive, with
no chance of escape. In addition to the live
stock there was upwards of three hundred
tons of pork, bacon and flour on board, which,
together with the destruction of the splendid
steamer, involved a loss of nearly $lOO,OOO.
A NICE POINT IN LAW.—Some weeks ago
a man named Cathcart was tried and con
victed in the Clearfield Court for the murder
of his wife, and sentenced to be hung. On
Tuesday, 11. Bucher Swope, Esq., one of Cath
cart's attorney's, arrived in this city, and ob
tained from Gen. Miller, Prothonotary, a
writ to take the case to the Supteme Court,
where it is Mr. Swope's intention to test the
right of a Governor to sign and issue a death
warrant. The courts below will probably
wait with anxiety to see what arguments will
be introduced, and their merits fur ingenuity.
If Mr. Swope convinces the Supreme Court
that the Governor has no right to issue the lit
tle document which sends men to the other
side of Jordan, be will have achieved a much
greater name and reputation than any man
now in the legal profession. —Harrisburg

FIFTY NEEDLES EXTRACTED PROM THE
BREAST Of A WOMAN.—One of the most sur
prising operations that has yet come to the
cars of the scientific world was accomplished
in this city a few days since. It was no less
a startling feat in the line of surgery than the
extracting of fifty needles, in a good state of
preservation, from the breast of a woman, and
that ton without the aid of chloroform. And
what is, perhaps still more wonderful, the
operation was actually performed by the
woman herself, unassisted by a physician,
and who is now, we learn, gaining strength
and liable to recover without suffering any
very serious effect from it.--3/711caukec _Yews.
THE LETTER BUSINESS.—Wo happened to
be in the Post Office the other evening at the
opening of the Mail, and about one-third of
the entire number of letters in the bag were
for Col. Curtin. We think there must have
been fully thirty—pretty good for one mail.
Go into the Col's office almost when you will,
and you will Lind him, coat off, busy ans wer
in g letters.
We are informed he will have about five
hundred applicants for every office in his gift.
We aro under the impression somebody will
get disappointed.—Centre Democrat.
SINGULAR CASE.—James Noland, of St.
Louis, lost his eyesight a few days ago under
somewhat singular circumstances. lie felt
nothing peculiar about his c3-es on retiring
for the night, but on awakening the next
morning he found that one of his eyes had
actually collapsed, and protruded from the
sockets so that he could not close his eyelids.
Two or three nights afterwards a similar cc
currenc happened to his remaining eye, and
lie was thus made perfectly blind. lie was
a drayman, and the physicians state that the
loss of his eyesight was caused by over ex.er
tion and straining of the nervous system.
TWO lIUNDRED AND FIFTY PERSONS 'HANGED
rN TEXAS.--The Mobile Mercury says :
" We saw a gentleman yesterday, direct
from Texas. Ile came from the region of
country where the hanging process was rife
some time back. He says the distant public
is not informed of the extent of the hanging.
He is a member of a Vigilance Committee,
which has been in correspondence with the
Committees of other counties, and estimates
that no less than two hundred and fifty per
sons have suffered death at a rope's end."

Light be the turf of thy tomb;
May its verdure like emeralds be:
There should not be the shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds us of thee.
Young flowers and an evergreen tree
May spring from the spot of thy rest:
Neither cypress nor yew let us see;
For why should we mourn for the blest ?
