Qii-Friday last we had on old-fashioned snow-storm
In this region. As the snow fell it drifted to such
a to render the roads and streets in some
-places almost impassable for two or three days. Cold
winter may now bo said to bo fairly upon us, and the
sleigh goers arts in flic hey-day of thelrglory. Print
ers, of course, cannot indulge in the sport—the reason
everybody knowp., ■

pensities in theso holiday times.
Animal Magnetism.—Tho citizens of this Borough
had an exhibition of this, what da sometimes,called a
science—hut which not a few pronounce a humbug ,
Km Thursday, Friday Saturday evenings last, by a
Mr. Johnson. "AtPwohadnot the pleasure of,being
present, wo can say nothing about it from personal ol>-.
soivation; but some of were, In whose judg
ment we have great corifideficc, speak favorably of the
exhibition. One thing is certain, that a considerable,
number ofliVcmore curious portion of our
their pockets relieved of some-spare quartet dollars, ■
the above was in type, wo had the curiosi.
ty to attend at the Court House on Monday evening,
and judge for ourself. Tho subject was a
mplc—tho operator a Mn Do Solle, of Philadelphia.
*The experiments .occupied about two bouts,' and per
fectly satisfied us that ono of- two things was true
—either that the operator’did not understand Ills busi
ness, or (hat the whole affair Is a sheer humbug —tho
latter we apprehend to bo the fact; Our opinion is
(apd wo .had a very close view) 'that tho young lady
was no mofi under tho influence of magnetism than
we wcw—that her apparent state of sonnambulism
was only affected —and that the answers she gave to
the interrogatorieo put to her, (and only about one in
every ion was cdrrcct,). ( werc such as might have been
“nedsUy guessed by any adult person of ordinary intclli-
gence in the room. ' .
Mr. Do Solt.c wo understand is the editor of the
“Spirit of the Times”—a paper which wo have hereto
fore considered as being‘conducted with more than
ordinary ability. Wo shall lose all confidence in tiro
man and hispaper, unless he immediately abandons
hid foolish ctitcrprizc in humbuggery, and attends to
. the faithful discharge of his duties as conductor of a
public journal;' Editors of newspapers are tho lost
inen in tire world who should lend themselves to fur
• ther such gross impositions upon their fellow-ellizcns.
So much for our Opinion of Animal Magnetism arid
its Professor. Wo attended tho exhibition without
any prejudice dne way or the other. Others may
think differently—arid they have a perfect right to do
■so. . Wo think, however, thst imtdcnmf-thosoapreßont
oh Monday night came away with a tridro’ favorable
opinion of it than wo did;—wo know that the commit
tee of very intelligent gentlemen selected to assist in
the exhibition, considered it a filial failure, to give it
no worse name, *
To show that we are not alone in our opinion, we
refer our readers to a communication m another column,
from a highly respectable and intelligent source. ‘
PuxrisaMnjrT or Nival Orncxns p.on Political
Oprsiorr.—When Gen, ■ Harrison succeeded to. the
Presidency, he formed such a cabinet about him, as
was never heard of before or since. Among the hun
dred of other acts committed against pll rules of dcccn-.
cy, propriety, and tho service, was the detachment of
Mr. Purser Damsel, for .political opinion, from the U.
S. ship Fairfield, in April last. ~ Ho was afterwards
placed upon service in the Homo'Squadron. We are
much pleased to learn that Mr. Ramsey has just been
ordered on board the U. S.’ship Falmouth, now prepa
ring for sea. It is well known that tho emoluments of (
the situation of Purser mainly depends upon the'ship 1
and the station to which she.is,assigned.. This act of i
Mr. cl-Sccrctary Badger, in the method he took to,
' punish an active and influential political'opponent, is
strong); characteristic of the man who would issue an
- officiaVordcr for poor Jack to shave down his whiskers'
to an “angla'oT;forty-five degrees!” " Purser Ramsey
is a popular, high-minded, and honorable officer, and
we wish him the best luck in the noble ship to which
Congressional Ilolngs— -Little. beyond
organization has yet been effected in either house—
nor will, we presume, any thing of consequence bo
done until alter the holidays. The Standing and Se
lect Committees of the House and Senate are announce
ed. and in the complexion of the. committees of the
former body, some changes have been made since last
session. Five.full-blooded Clay Whigs compose'thb
majority, of Ways ind Means; and. John Quincy
Adams is placed at the bead of the Committed on For
eign Affairs/in place of Mr. Cushing, ‘
■ The Select Committees of the House willihavo
charge of four important subjects, which will bo -de
cided at the. present session.. First, the Select Com-,
mittec on Captain Tyler’s “Fiscality,” of which Mr.
Cushing is Chairman, supported by four other, Tyler
men—the other members are two • Clay inen mid two
Democrats. Secondly, the appointment of Rpprrscn
talives, orrather tiling the ratio of un- f
der tho hew census. Thirdly, the Smillisonian Be
quest—and, Fourthly the National Foundry. 1 '|

03*Tho Fiscal scheme sketched in the President's *
Message, seems to bo a sort of compromise—a finan- j
cial tylit-tho-ctiffercnco between tho (wo. great parties j
into which tho country is divided. Artti Bonkism has '
for ite share, a few of the characteristic features of tho
Independent Treasury—-a sort of reminiscence of tho
constitutional mode, of collecting and keeping the reve
nuc« Bankism is to be gratified by concessions which
give to the plan a dose resemblance to a “great.regu
lator,”* The consequences’are obvious. Anew illus
tration is afforded of tho correctness of the moral con
veyed by the story of tho old gentleman who tried to j
please every body but succeeded in gaining tiro appro-1
batten of none. Though there may. bo many , men of
P ttf ty attachments who findsome clause in J
tho schomo wluch does not conflict with their views of
right, yet there are few, if any, who approve of the *
matter altogether, and os they like and dislike different
parts of tho whojo, any effort to harmonise by patching |
tho fabric, will tumble it J? ruins. No—Mr. Tyler
should have taken one side or other—democratic or
federal. A third party is not to bo rallied in the'pres
ent situation of affairs. The people aro divided upon
principle—they see a right and a wrong, but no inter,
mediate ground which can safely bo occupied. Tho
democratic party at least can discover no safety in a
plan which authorizes an emission of fifteen millions
of dollars in government paper, trusting to tho prudonco
of Congress to omit no^morc.. .On the contrary, wo
know full well that if this means of raising the wind
bo found available, it will bo resorted to upon- every 1
emergency, until, these issues will be as worthless as
tho continental rags now stored in cobwebbcd garrets, l
or figuring in museums as emblems of national faith,
bringing the government itself, and for the second time
into the long list of swindlers who have plundered tho
American people.
• President Tyler, to a considerable extent missed tho
tide in his affairs, by not making a resolute stand at
the extra session, upon tho Independent Treasury. If
not disposed to go alt lengths with federal whiggery
there was the golden cbanco of rearing tho democratic
banner. The vetoes were well—they were gloamings
of the, truo-spirit; but -ting, financial scheme, which
little to recommend it except that it is not actually a 1
corporation, is a sad mistake, ‘arising possibly from a
belief that tho people still labor under the delusions of**
1840. Tho late elections, wo think,, clearly demon
strated contrary. They have at least shown that
the community a*t largo nothinglh tlio shape' of
a Bant—nothing «o rcscuibling it os.
r CC/*The Grand Jury of Philadelphia, on tho 10th
inst., made a presentment to tlfc Criminal Court of
Nicholas Samuel-Jaudon,-Joseph Cowporth
waite, Thomas Dunlap, and others, for feloniously con
spiring td cheat and defraud tho Stockholders of tho
Uiiited States Bank from 1836 to 1840, of largo sums
of money. The presentment was made on the infor
mation of a Mr. Montgomery, and a* number of wit
nesses were Examined to corroborate it. After tho
presentment was read, a motion was immediately- made,
by the counsel of the implicated individuals to*quash '
tho proceedings on the ground of informality, die.— I
The motion was. entertained by tho Court, and the ar- •
gument-was had on the 16th insti The Court held
the matter under advisement till Monday lust, when
Judge Burton was to deliver tho opinion.
Bioceh, ofTndiana, states in his
message to the Legislature of that Commonwealth,
that the interest on the State Bonds, cannot he paid,
and hmonts tho misfortune, while ho urges the people
warmly to denounce all efforts towards “repudiation.”
From this it will be perceived that although our own
Pennsylvania is deeply in debt, she yet been
so hard ruu as Indiana—and from an article in another
column our readers will further learn that there is u
sufficiency now in the Treasury to meet the large pay
ment o£ interest on our State debt which will full duo
in Februaiy uextT So lon&as Governor Pouter is
at. the head of affairs, we have‘no/ears‘that the fair
fame and credit of our Stqto will be tarnished let
other States fare as they may. As Pennsylvanians,
irrespective of party, wo ought all to bo pro’ud of our
upright and energetic Chief Magistrate;
, Cj* Tho correspondence between Mr; Stevenson,
late American Minister at tho British Court, and Lord
Palmerston and Lord Aberdeen, in relation to the out
rages on American vessels on the coast of Africa, has
been published; Palmerston imd Aberdeen both as
sert the right for Great Britain of searching our ves
sels hi the African seas, for the . purpose of ascertain
ing whether they arc engaged in the slave trade. Wo
have only room for tho closing paragraph of Mr; Ste
venson’s last letter, which follows:
The undersigned must, therefore alter the'most
careful consideration of the arguments advanced in
Lord Aberdeen’s note,"repeat tho opinion which ho
has heretofore expressed, that if a power such as that
which is now asserted by Her Majesty’s government
TSlMl'be enforced, npf only without consent but in the
face of a direct refusal to concede it, it can be regard
ed in no other light by tho government of the United
■States than u violation of rights and sovereignty, and
the incontestable principles of international law; That
its exercise riiay lead to consequences of a painful
character; there is to much reason to apprehend. In
cases of conflicting rights between nations,'tho precise
Jinc_which_ncither-can-pass 7 -bnt-to-which-caeh-may~
advance, is not easily found or marked; and yet it ex
ists whatever may be the difficulty of discerning it.
In ordinary cases of disagreement there is little dan
ger; each nation may and pitch; does yield something
to tho other. .Such however; is to bo feared, is not the
present case. The peculiar nature of tho power as
serted, and the'consequencca which may be apprehend;
cd from thd exercise, make it. one. of on important
and momcntous'character. Involving, as jt does, ques
tions of high and dangerous sovereignty, it may justly
bo. regarded as deeply endangering the good under
standing of the two conn tries. Ought HcrMaiostv’s
-Goverrimeritr then,'Under such circumstances, to insist
upon its enforcement? That Jt will not, the under
signed cannot permit himself to'doubt. Ho will there
fore continue to cherish the hope that, upon a careful
review of the whole, subject Her Majesty's Govern
ment will see tho importance of adopting-other mens
urcs for , the suppression of the slave trade than those
now proposed, and which will be far better calculated
not only to accomplish the object desired, but to pro!
servo tho friendly relations of the two countries upoh'
principles consistent with the. interest-and honor of
both.

A Letter from, the State Treasurer*
'The following.,is tho conclusion of a letter recently
received by tho editors of tho Harrisburg Telegraph',
from tho State Treasurer. It will Ira seen that it fully
confirms the statement in relation to tho State Debt,
lately published in the Inquiicr.— Pfila. Inquirer . ■.
“I am happy however to state now, thatfrom th'o
receipts at the Treasury during the last tlirco weeks, it
is rendered oppaiont that no portion of the loon will bo
required of the banks. - , .
To illustrate this I herewith furnish you with a de
tailed statement of receipts and expenditures of tho
Commonwealth for tho financial year, wliich will show
tho following result:
Receipts, $6,390,762 23
Add balance in the Treasury 30th' ’’
Nov. 1840,
Deduct payments,
Balance in Treasury 30th Nov. 1841, $1,100,932 24
A part of this balance is unavailable for interest pur*
puses, being appropriated to pay debts duo for repairs
1 of Huntingdon Breach, and a portion being depreciated
I funds and advances on account, to the public 6ißccs.
I The sum of $350,000 as the unavailable portion of the
balance must therefore, be deducted. There is then
left on the 30th November last, which could be applied
to the payment of interest, the sum of $759,932 24

For the Yoluniean
AMMiI MACJmS.IL
part of Pennsylvania in which Carlisle is situated.
The lovo\of the - marvellous is a bump that is de
veloped on a largo number of human skulls. This is
said to bo tho age of humbug, and a fair test has just
been mode of tho maximum degree of credulity of
which the human mind is capable,.by a professor of i
one of tho itinerant sciences. Within tho last week a
mountebank impostor who called himself an animal
magnetber, with a retinue of two wcU-tioined girls
from the city with very florid complexions, one very
stupid ,boy, and some editor from Philadelphia,' suc
ceeded in imposing on a number of grown-up persons
in tliis place by hia humbiTg experiments. Ho was
one of the most unskilful in this contemptible game of
deception; and yet some were deceived by this misera
ble exhibition. That tho shallow tricks of tliis vulgar
pretender should fof a moment delude a single individ
ual, was an instance of cicdulity which 1 did not ex
pect to ece.,> But even the learned, the pious, and tho
aged, gave their countenance to them', and raised their
bonds in astonishment at'tho devclopomcnfc of theso
unheard of secrets of nature 1
* “And still they gazed, and still tho wonder .grew,
That one small head should cany all he knew."
Animal Magnetism we are told is “mind acting on
mind, so that the sensations and perceptions of tho
magnetized shall bo the same as those of tho operator,
and tho former shall bo able to answer any questions
asked by the latter; that he shall obey hia will and per
form many other astonishing things which no ono
can explain. As a .proof of these things, when the
professor held out his hand with nothing in it, Freder
ick said it contained something ‘long and round;'' and
that ‘it wanted ten minutes of eight,’ by tho watch ho
held, when it was , exactly eight. Many other exam
ples might bo given to show that long os they have
practised, they have not yet become even tolerably good
gucsscrs. Tho silly tncks of this strolling impostor
are such os tho. veriest apprentice in Legerdemain'
would bo ashamed of. That ho should succeed,once
in twenty times in Ills guesses is not.sufiicient to es
tablish tho truth of his pretensions, but a single failure
should bo fatal to tho whole theory of tho sympathetic
communication and electro vital fluid. If the ideas of
both are, the same, tho .patient should never give an in
correct reply, .Why then docs ho not give every thing
its proper name, instead of general and vaguo descrip
.tiouaxvhitJt.wouldxtnswcrfor'fifty ’things,Tand-multcr- :
ing hia words in such'a way lliat they might bo under
stood lor fifty.more. The oxperimcnts'6r.;niotc prop
erly guesses in sympathy, the will, and clairvoyance
wore in nearly all eases unsuccessful, and that tlicy
should make a few fortunate hits only proves the old pro
verb that “a blind-hog may sometimes fmd an acorn.”
Tho only matter of astonishment to mo was that thay
succeeded se badly, and although -I- suspected gross
fraud from the beginning, I did not expect to witness
such on impudeiit and paljmblo attempt at deception.
Spoons'! wlrat a humbug! Had this jbggloiy been
spcciops.artd'plausildc, it would not have been Strange
if all had-dicen pcrjdexea.tind" a'lew'dbiSifhii^d^'of*Ute'
truth .of. this preWvvta-kvr'-v— 7''. •
Gullileo! That a number of intelligent men, who were"
never before, suspected of.wcakness of intellect, should
for a moment even "suspend, their judgment,” or bo
choatcd by the puerile artifices of these wreteiJed vaga
bonds, is enough to give us a contempt for ouJ species.
The subject itself is too .contemptible to, merit a mo-'
merits thought,,but its unaccountable, success incur
community renders it noccsory to say a word in order
to undeceive n ■ few who have been weak enough to
treat it seriously. Suppose we lay aside our skepti
cism and admit that there is truth in this science, and
-.wo see that it is a more surprising and stupendous die-'
covc'ry, in nature, than all that time has yet unfolded,
and one which will revolutionize tho world. Before
wo credit tliis miraculous discovery, reason demands
“confirmation strong ns proof of’holy writ.” Wo
must have something heller than the exhibition of a
conjurer upon tho person of iris well-trained assistant,
before we renounce our faith in the established laws of
nature, and all that the wisdom of ages has taught us.
Had his performances been os successful as they were
unfortunate, it would not have proved tho-truth of’ his
pretended scien’cc,' unless it were founded upon princi
ples and established by demonstration.
If tho visionary dreams of those enthusiasts have
any foundation, thou tho means heretofore used for tho
propagation of knowledge will bo rendered useless,
and animal magnetism will take their place. Mental
acquirements will bo instantaneously transferred, and
what it before took years to acquire will be had in a
few brief moments. Tho eloquence of tlio bar and
.pulpit will bo dispensed .with, tho college and school
house will bo deserted, and the demagogue will no
more mount the stump r to harangue and convince the
multitude. Tho Lawyer, tho Divine, tho Professor,
and the Pedagogue .will sink into oblivion and be su
perseded by tiro animal magnetizet. Mind will bo
equalized. Tho man of genius will transfer his intel
lect to the fool—the pastor his piety to his flock—tho
demagogue his political opinions to tiro crowd—and
tire lawyer his convincing arguments to the jury by
means of animal magnetism. Men will no longer bar
ter in externals. The merchant will,abandon his ware
to trade, in mind and intellect, Science will bo mode
marketable, and mind. a matter of, bargain and sale.
It will convert the heathen and hasten tho millcnium.

Dr', Harlich'a Compound Strengthening Tonic and
German Aperient Pills are warranted to arrest tills
troublesome disease: first by cleansing thostomich and
bowels, purifying the blood, and removing all diseased
and cxccmcntuous humors from the livcr and intes

Strengthening Tonic Pills, which are used to strength
en and vigoratn the nervous system, give tone to the
stomach, and organs of- digestion, thus imparting to
their subtile fluid its prstino vigor, this afflicting disease
may be entirely removed, This is the only mode of
of treating tills annoying complaint, and has been at
tended with success, in thousands of cases.
