A Reward.— -Our Town Council, wo arc glad lo
eeo, ha* offered a reword of $3OO for (ho detection
»nd conviction of the Incendiaries who fired the
Stable of Mr. Rufas Sboploy on the night of the 9Dlh
bit*. Right.
v IfSARI,V Finished.— -Ehy's splendid throe story
'building, on Weil High street,is nearly finish
ed, and it a beautiful end elegant structure. The
Concert or Lecture Teem is la rgo and well orrsnged,
and compotes favorably with any room of the kind
In (he Slate. A public hull has long boon needed In
CftHal'i and we are glad Mr. Eby, In supplying (hi*
deficioncyv o building creditable lo him*
self and an orrtamont to onr town.
-American Democrat.— -The Amartcan Democrat,
to paper published in this town, has changed hands,
Mr. Borre, its former editor, having disposed of the
establishment to E. Cornuas, Esq., by whom it will
hereafter be conducted as & Democratic paper. Mr.
C., we doubt not, will use his best efforts to secure
for his paper the confidence of the true and honest
Democracy of our county. The present as well ns
ibe retiring editor has oar best wishes.
Gen. Pjercs’b Cabinet.—A letter to the editor of
tho, American I'ofunfeer, from “quo who knows,”
dated Concord, N. H., February 4, nmotig other
things says—“ln about two weeks from this lime 1
will give you the Humes of the distinguished gentle
nan who are .to compose the Cabinet. I think you
will be pleased with the selection made.” Very
well. Wo may as well inform Gen. Fierce, how
«rcr, once Tor all, Hint under no circumstances can
tc« accept a place in his cabinet. Our “private
affairs,” as the saying Is, “ will not permit us lo make
so great a sacrifice.” Fact—no joking about it.
Ottß PAVEMENTS.
The recent toft weather hoe increased the mud
crop of our (own amazingly, and has also caused a
groat rise in ladies' dresses, ll is with llio greatest
difficulty that pedestrians—particularly when they
are out o' nights—plod their way from one crossing
place to another. Many of thn side pavements ore
in a most wretched condition, and aro as disgrocoful
to our (own as they are'dangerous and annoying to
our citizens. Now, is this intolerable nuisance never
(o bo aboted 7 Must our whole population suffer bo
cause of the obstinacy of a few sordid creatures
wearing the form of humanity, who refuse to pavo
their properties? Wo venture to eay there is not
another town in the Stale—no, not a village— whose
citizens would lamely submit to a similar annoyance
and outrage.
Wa hope our citizens favorable to compelling pro
perly holders to pave, will take the matter In hand
at (he approaching spring election,and vote for no man
re concerned, we
didale for Council, wo care not w hat his politics may
be, who Is afraid to f»co llio music on tins subject-
Our citizens have suffered long enough and have
talked too long, and it is foil tunc they should ncl
If property holders ere 100 stingy and moan lo pave
their properties of tbeir own ocean), they should be
compelled to do so by (ho lown authorities. Let our
citizens think of Ibis mailer, wo say, when they
come to vote at our Borough cl eel ion.
THB OAIIIYISON SOLDIERS
It is w«lb pleasure that we notice llio marked im
provement in the appearance ond demeanor of the
soldiers visiting town.
Their neat, cleanly appearance, and orderly do
portmenl, aro in sinking contrast with the slovenly
i.. *._t—.- —... ,/( rrnt trranKcn
squad* that formerly infested lown, and annoyed us
by their nocturnal carousing in concert with citizen
rowdies. The days of Sumner and Washington
when Soldier* were respected, because they respect
ed themselves, seem to have returned.
Nor is this matter of congratulation to citizens
alone. The farmers of the adjacent country whoso
welt foundedcomplaints were both loud and frequent,
concur in this testimony to the order, sobriety, and
quiet prevailing among the soldiers.
This is doobtlcs* owing in a great measure to
th» effort* of tlic present Commander of the post,
Alsj- Ruff, assisted by Cap/. Deuufurd and others, fa
vorably known to our citizens, ns distinguished alike
/ortho courtesy of gentlemen, otid tlio humanity
consistent with the indispensable firmness of good
officers.
The change though highly gratifying to them,Can
not bo more so than to Dio members ol the "perma
nent party,'’ many of whom era as gentlemanly uhlig
ing lellows as were ever slitiont-d hero; and urr.
We apprehend, onlulwi to no inconsiderable sharo
of the merit attaching to (huso whose demons
have contributed to this improved slate of a/Tairs.

PUBLICATION OP TUB LAWS.
In most of the western Stales nil public laws ,
are required to he published In one or more pews- i
papers in each county, the expense of such publU ,
cation to be defrayed by the State. Such a regu- ,
lation is not only wise and prudent, but is so
manifestly necessary, that it la ft matter of aston
ishment that this plan of making the people fami
liar with the laws under which they live, has not
been adopted in every State in the Union. Seve
ral attempts have been made in this State provid
ing for publishing the laws in the several counties’
but as yet nothing definite has been done. We
have noticed that this measure is always opposed
by the lawyers who ore members of the Legisla
ture, anti- generally supported by farmers, meohan*
ics and business men. Nor is tt at all surprising
that the publication of the laws should receive the
opposition of the legal profession, for it would in
tericr© with the business and profits of that pro
fession. Let the people have lighl-#lel the public
laws be published in the newspapers—and the
disciples of Blackatone would not be sought for
quite os often as they had previously been. It Is
the interest of lawyers to keep the people as igno
rant as possible in regard to the statutes, hut Ibis
very fact, in our opinion, should induce the people
lo demand the publication of the laws in the man-
ner we have mentioned.
Many of our public laws are highly important
in their provisions, and contain penalties and fines
to enforce their observance. And yet it is a fact
that the people, generally speaking, are ignorant
in regard to those provisions, and often violate
them because of their ignorance. We may men
tion one law now in.fproe—and a very
one n ts, containing, wo believe, severe penalties
against all who neglect to observe it—the provi
sions of which wo venture lo say are not known
to one-fiftieth part of tho people of this county.—
We refer lo the law requiring the registration of I
births, marriages and deaths. The object of this
law was praiseworthy, and Its provisions, If strict
(y observed by all, would afford most valuable in
formation to future generations. But the law is a
dead loiter—-the people know nothing about it,
and it is not observed lo any extent worth speaking
of. In fact it is worse than useless, for unless it
is obeyed by all, the object for.which it was enact
ed is destroyed. number of counties, the
County Commissioners, feeling that It was neces
, sary for the people lo become acquainted with the
, requirements of Ibis important (aw, have had it
i published \n their local papers. Had this plan
been adopted by all counties, or had the law itself
contained a section requiring such publication, we
would have had by this time practical proof of the
workings of the law. Bui as it is—-in force in
some counties ood almosi disregarded |n olkais—
■- J I I r
We might mention other public laws, equally as
imporianl in their provisions and penalties, ihat
are disregarded by the people because of a want
of knowledge. 'Hie publication of the laws in the
newspapers of the several jfcuniies would remedy
ibis evil, would make the people acquainted with
the duly they owe to themselves and to society,
and at the same lime save much litigation and
contention in our couris of jusiico. Kconomy,
lor*, would dictate Hus policy, for we hold that
every measure calculated to enlighten iho people!
and make them familiar with the etatuiee o( their
Stale, and cqnsequenlty better and wiser men, is
true economy. Our glorious system of Common
Schools, notwithstanding tho immense amount of
money requ ired^ to carry^ou t jsjy U^ajtcr
follow us, and lake our places in this world of toil,
will revere our names for having sustained this
admirable mode of general education. Some nig
gardly minded men, whose souls aro not as large
as tho knee-cap of a moth, may sneeratlhis asser
tion and aKenipt to controvert it, but .such men,
thank God, are few, and thus far they have been
unable lo check iho noble cause of education.—

suoottiig Affair at 'Washington,
Wo lake the following account of ihe particu
lars of a most distressing occurrenco at Washing,
ton, from the National fntttligencer of Saturday.
With Mr. Fuller we have been long acquainted,
and regret the calamity that has befallen him :
“Shocking Occurrencb—Last evening, about
half-pagl six o’clock, the vicinity of the National
Hotel wbb thrown into great and painful excite
ment by a frightfully tragical occurrence that took
place on the steps iimiiedioieiy at the entrance to
thedfulel. This was the deliberate shooting of
Mr. Edward H. Fuller, of this city, by the hands
of Lieut. James W. Schaumburg, formerly of Phil-,
adalphla, we belivo, but who for many years past
has spent much of his time In Washington, and
recently boarded at the National. The following
is reported to ho a correct account of the rise and
cause of this sad affair;
‘‘Several years since Schaumburg boarded at
Fuller’s, now Willard’s Hotel, kept by A. Fuller
&. Co. When the firm became insolvent he was
indebted to it several hundred dollars, and has so
continued ever since. Applications made lo him
from time lo time for payment hy the serving part
ner. Edward H, Fuller, have been disregarded by
him. la "•«. tt-arn, on the ground that the debt was
duo not lo Mr. Fuller, but lo the trustees under
the insolvency. Mr. Fuller, nevertheless, pursu
ed the claim, ami in an altercation on iho subject
some two years ago with Schaumburg personally
chastised him. This circumstance was matter of
general notoriety at the lime, and got into the
newspapers.
“ Public notice was again drawn to the matter
on Tuesday morning last by the appearance of a
number of large handbills posted in the most pub
lic way along Pennsylvania avenue, announcing,
under the signature of Edward H- Fuller, that
James W. Schaumburg was a coward, liar, and
swindler, with allegations and statements to sub
stantiate it.
• On Tuesday and yesterday afternoon and eve
ning Schaumburg was seen pacing backwAftiand
forward along the avenue, suspected by m(tny,aud
as it would seem, too truly, wuh deadly intent, in
search of Fuller. Unhappily* last evening, at the
time above elated. Mr. Fuller mounted, Ore
street, when he wns espied by Schaumburg, who
was standing near the door on tho east side of the
portico ; and when Fuller approached at the dis
tance of about four feel he received ihe fire of one
barrel of a revolver in the hands ol Schaumburg,
and instantly retreated across towards the south
side of the avenue, pursued by Schaumburg with,
as Some say, a draw bowie-knife in his hand. A 1
number of hackmen and others following Schaum
burg with hostile shouts induced him to give up
the pursuit, and retire to the hotel, where, after
seeking a retreat from room lo room lo elude Ihe
crowd from the street, ho at l,t<\ gave him
self up to the police. Being conducted to tho of
fice of Jusiice Mnrsell, he was duly committed to
the county Jail, w here ho now remains.
“ At a late hour last night Mr. Fuller’s condit
ion was crnical t the hall having ontored about an
inch and a half to the ri^lit of the navel, mid had
uni been pxineated ; indeed its place of lodgement
had not been found .

Oloffropby of a Bot<
The Journal a/ Agriculture, In on article on But*
In Horace, gives us a biography of .ihia enemy of the
horse. It says :
Tho p>rent» are called bot-flies, and brdong to the
family QZstriJas. Tho female, in the latter part of
summer, deposits eggs on the hair of tho horse, usual
ly on the sides and fore leg* of the animal, toArre
they may easily be rrocAfd by his tongue. Tlftif
eggs, or nits, oppesr like little hay seeds, and adhere
to the hair bcouso of a glutinous substance, with
which they are surrounded. Tho horse licks tho
spot with his tongue, and the egg that contains our
heroine ia then earned into his mouth, where it ia
hatched by the warmth and moisture almost immed
iately into a mnggof, and thus swallowed, reaches
the theatre of operations. Von may hatch eno of
these eggs on iho palm of your hand, with a little
warm suliva from your mouth. Once in the stomach,
It clings to the cuticle, or inner throat, by moans of
tiouU hke attachments on either side of its mouth,
ond feeds on the muens, so long os there is any ;
when it attacks the coaling of the stomach os above
stated. Usually, it is discharged in the early summer
in the dung; it buries in the earth; becomes
a chrysalis, or grub, ond so remains for weeks, when
it bursts Us bonds, issues forth in iho form of a fly ;
and, if n female, becomes Impregnated and dcpo*Mo
rgga an the horse, and, ja (bis eternal round, lives,
due, and is burn og*in.
