At shout 7 o'clock in the morning s young lady ol our acquaintance was seen to make rapid strides up street to see " a sick sister.” To her astonishment she found the iocalid busy in arranging her house hold affairs, slid in perfect health. She had been , “ fooled.” A young man was noticed in front of a dwelling searching earnestly for an article which had not been lostby a young lady. Alter exhausting'his patience, the damsel in question saluted him with, "Oh, you April fool 1” He bit his tips and submitted as grace, fiilly as possible—poor fellow. . Another, Very lond of seeing ” fun,” nearly broke bis neck in jumping a fence to see a “ fight in the street,”. Not discovering any disturbance, be re turned in a hurry, and almost out of breath, to ask bis informant the name of the street'in whieh the fight was. “Why,you April lbol I” was the response, followed by a burst oflaughlcr. Waa’nt ho ''fooled?" A rather reserved, gentleman of our aeqaintsnee, remarked to a lady that no one could ” fool” hint— ho considered himself proof against such trickery.— Soon alter the lady exclaimed ", Oh, Mr, —, did I show you. my new diamond ring?”—at the same lime extending her pretty, soft lilly hand. “ No, let's see it," responded our friend, as he walked hurriedly serosa the room. Not seeing a ring on the hand, ho very innocently inquired, " why, where is it?" “Ah, ha, you April fool!" screamed the lady In his ears. So he 100 was “ fooled." Many others, no doubt, wore annoyed in a aitnilar way, bat ilia a ploaaant reflection for ail to. know that llioro were numbers beside thomseivea who auf. Tered. “Misery loves company,”and “April fools’, lovo company 100, and in lliia they were gratified.— Some consolation in tliat' PZRB AND IaOSS OP Z.IFB. The splendid flour mill belonging to Mr. Jems Hava, in Frahkford township,about three miles from Carliale, was totally destroyed by fire on Thursday night last. It pains ua loadd that a young man named Linar, (employed in the mill,) perished in the flames. The unfortunate sufferer, in company with a young man named Ket»E»,(son of Mr. Jno. Keeney of this borough,) were sleeping in a small room on the second floor of the Milt when the fire occurred, end before they were conscious of danger the whole building was In flames. When they awoke, they both rushed but into an adjoining room, which was all on .fire, and, with their hands over their faces, at. tempted to pass through the Bamaa to the door front ing the street. Mr. Keeney succeeded, after moth . effort and suffering, in reaching the dour and thus made his escape, without much injury.

Go nornlly When o bank fails, and chbats tho community, the Federal press sots up the cry that it ia Loco foco concern." if the bank in que.lion hod tho individual liability incorporated in its charter lo protect tho holder, ofito notes, it certainly would not the cfaecoce of our neighbor realising bia mo- Oar Federal fiienda are very fond bfridieniing oil «Keni|««a at bank reform—arid they are eapeolally I [ir'lly on the subject of the individual liability of) [ etockholdere in there inelitmione. To our mind, tide provision in their charters is a great protection to the community. I, i. merely applying , h . ..me rule to banks that is applicable to the people at large. Why should not an association who have a charter, with banking privileges, be obliged to pay their, homat debt, as well a, individuals, or a. partner, in trade! They issue their notes—their promises to pay and make on these very issues their si* pet cent, poyuble in advance. They issue their own in debtedness and receive nearly seven per cent, interest on the amount issued—which in the best regulated institutions, is admitted to be three limes greater than Iboy , have specie to redeem. Associations lor banking purposes, are to have all those ad. vantages, and be thus enabled to pay high salaries to their officers, build splendid banking houses, and 1 provide large contingent funds to .peculate upon, and 1 yet if they should fail as others rind all may do. in I prosecuting the varied business oflifo, they alone are ! Ito bo exempted from paying their honest debts. If'" la mercantile firm fail, their property is swept by their / j crcdilnrs, not only the amount invested in their busi- I, ness, but to the whole amount of the claims agsinsl f I them, let it be over so much beyond tho original' I investment; So with tho farmer, tho mechanic, and l every other profession in life. And yet the Herald ' complains that "after all it is not the note-holders Who generally lose, by the failures of hanks—it is rather the stockholders, and individual liability will not prelect Hem.” The latter oughtto lose, certainly, if any one—for if banking be profitable, they are tho persons who receive the benefit. The Herald la deeirous that banking ahould be a aura game—thit the persona engaged in it should have all tho profits, but have nq losses beyond a certain extent. The Herald also stales with an air ol triumph that the Lehigh Bank of our own Stale was "one ofGovernor Shunk’s model bonks, duly fortified with individual liability, and all other model reforms." True, tho heal provisions of tho law may bo evaded by bad aod corrupt men, but does that argue that the law ( itself is not a whoieaome rcatriclion 7 Far otherwise. But while on this subject how does it happen that all these rascally banks, after they have robbed the community, get the Federalists to conic in as their best friends to sustain them! We have a faint re collection that the dying agonies of the Lehigh bank were especially toothed by the Federalists. Did not one of their .emissaries even go so far as to attempt to bribe a member of the Legislature to sustain the bank, for which bo was tried and convicted! Did pet nearly all the Federal press uphold this emissary, McCook, or at least ridicule and abase Col. Piolett for exposing this corrupt overture of the bank min ions 7 And after all, did the old Lehigli bank, with out the individual ■ liability, treat the community ns well as the one denounced now by the Herald 7 Wo think noj. its course was one continued scene of profligacy and fraud. And does the Herald think that the community are the belter elf. by the failure of Hie Lewislown and Erie banks, without the indi vidaal liability 7 Had those provisions been in their charters, the coratrionlly srloasl Rould have been safe, even If the stockholders suffered. As it is those suffer moat who have had the least lode with ths bank, and have derived no profit from it winterer, No—bank reform is required, and the wide spread desolation and ruin inflicled by banking institatioris in this Stale and elsewhere, solemnly attest it—and instead of throwing cold water upon movement, calculated to better the system, ifwocaonolcrndicale it entirely, it would bo more in accordance with a proper anxiety for tho public weal, to aid and perfect those reforms so as to render them effective. The Herald and its frienda ara wedded to the old system, and with its imperfections still lore and cherish il. The denial of the propriety of reform, the ridicule of I ail efforts to effect it, is virtually approving ofoll the rascalities of banking institutions, that have an long! merited indignant denunciation. Wo liopa Iba Herald will offer acme better argument , "ad hominem" or otherwise, .gainst Ihe “individual liability,” than it haa yet furnished its readers. Tub Public Ledobs. —On our first page will bo found quite an interesting article, taken from the Penneyhanian, giving a hialnry of that well-known and popular penny paper, the Public Ledger. Wc have had it in contemplation for acme weeks In attempt to give a brief history of the “ Life and pub Ue.ervlet.or the Ledger,” hut our friend, of the Pennaylvanian have anticipated us. end given a much more ssliafselery account of it than could have been fornivhed by no.

H»e Democratic party, with no desire to wages factious opposition to General Taylor, are in a* at titude, fortunately, to protect the country from (he consequences of bad nominations. Tho rejection of McGaughcy, of Indiana, or rather of Mexico-fur he belongs more to the latter country than to tho-tfotod States—will cither have the effect of stoppingjlho In. flictlon of anti-war agitators npon the country, or of being the first of many similar rebnkes.

From what wo can learn, wo have no doubt that a very general sweep of Democratic office-holders will be made by Gen. T. and his Cabinet officers* Well, bo 11-'so. We shall not bd sorry If the decapitating axo is applied to the nock of every. Democrat in office.— Such a course on the part of Gen.

Such a course may secure to a man ill-gotten power, bnt at the same time It will also secure for him tho scorn and contempt of honcsl men of all parlies. Mr* Hannogan’s Appointment. The Federal papers have raised quit© a tempest in a tea.pot respecting the appointment (by President Polk) of Mr. Hannegan as Minister to Prussia. They say that the appointment was made lob late—some hours after Mr. Polk had ceased to be President.— The ** God-Jike Daniel" has published a letter res* peeling Mr. Hanncgan's appointment. - He, too, pro lends to thihk that President Polk's term of office hadexpirod, and he winds up |iis bombastic epistle by pronouncing the nomination « as one of the roost disreputable proceedings recorded in the history of the Government.” ’ Now, this is all gammon—out and ont balderdash. If It be admitted thal-Mr. Polk was not President at the hour he sent Mr. Hanno gsn*s name to the Senate, by the same logic (here was no Senate at the time, and no House of Repre* sentatives. Tho most important of all bills, the op. proprialion bill,'has not been passed at all, and not a dollar can bo legally drawn from tho treasury. .The Federal expounders of the constitution, however, thnughlthcre was a President,a Semite, ami a House.

HiT appears j rather pleased on account of hte removal than othor ■( wise, VVo now* for tha benefit of the 'Herald t copy I anollior-oztract from'the NorHstown Register, which more truth than anything wo have read for some days. , Hero Uist 41 Such of our democratic brethren os were led to cost their votes for General Taylor under the belief which his friends exerted themselves .to proinolgolo, j that ho would,, if elected, be the President of the whole people, and not the President of a party, and that, under his administration, proscription would be proscribed, and a.perfect 4 era of,good feeling* estab lished, will now soon see how far their anticipations are to be realised, For. ourselves, we believe that In three months lime scarcely a voslage of a democrat holding office will bo observable through! the whole length and braadth of our land—and where an iso* lated instance may chance to occur,, its existence cun easily bo traced to. the. operation of some peculiar and private cause. Wo shall not complain of this, for our views on the subject have already been dis tinctly set forth, . But, it may ho said, that a pursuance of such a litre of policy will bo at variance with Gon. Taylor’s (own expresscd declarations made when ho was a can didate before the people. Of course, it would be, but what of that $ The whig party, during the of the lust contest* acted Upon the doctrine, pecu liarly their own, that 4 all Is fair in politics; 4 and i they .circulated broad-cast, all ihcir candidate's ox- I pressioris of moderotich and tolerance* and made loud | professions of anti proscriptive feelings on their own I account, /bribe purpose of inducing democratic vo j ters to co-operuto with, them. Every man knows ! that their designs wore successful, and that In Pcnn sylvania, the State which decided the groat contest, 'victory perched upon the-Taylor banner, ftol by rea son oflhc superior strength, of the whig party proper, but from the accessions gained from the democratic ranks. The object was accomplished, Ben. Taylor was elected, and the beguiled democrats ate now to learn that in this particular, as in oil others, whig professions and,promises were things 4 made to ho broken. 4 ” ° ■' Won* James Buchanan* Hon.
