Tin Hipeoosow* at Caruslk !—Wednesday (
the 3d of August. 1853. w ill he a day long remem- *
bered by the fun loving and sight-seeing citizens 1
of our goodly borough and its vicinity, for on that J
day and evening they wore most egregiously hum
bugged, duped, and deceived.! Welch’s celebra
ted Hippodrome, as n is fulsomrly termed, was
exhibited in Carlisle, drawing crowds of specta
tors, and every one who « itnessed the performance,
unite in pronouncing it a decided humbug! I* or
weeks before its arrival, firming handbills were
posted up at public places, in town and country.
•nd ihe eipeciaii -ns of the curious were raised to
the highest pitch, only to be moat wofully disap
pointed. The old fashioned circus go**r« missed
the Incke and Dlv “ n ♦***•

anything at the Hippodrome.
Vrny Sudden Death.—On Sunday night last,
Mr. Martin Zeiolrr, a ciiiz**n of ihis borough,

Accident at the Nkw Poison.—On Tuesday after*

three of the masons at work on the building. One
of the upper t ler of arches, from soma cause, gave
wsy. filling upon Simon KUnc, Conrad Wrldman.
and Joseph Sliunsp, badly, though, wo believe, not
fatally injuring them. They wore all more or less
cut anfl broi»e£-tho Utter so much so, that ho will
nut bo able to resume work for some lime. They ore
ail honest, hard-working men, and wo are truly tor

and we are free to declare Wii.uam DiOLtR our

rably fill** and will do all that in ue lie* to eecure
hi* re-nomination.
Since the commencement of hi* executive term, (
Gov. Diolcr has acted in strict aocordanco with ,
democratic principles and usages* and his admin*
isiraiive conduct has won for him ‘‘golden opin
ions” from the wife and good. His honesty and
integrity aro unimpeaclied, and his great abiliios
to administer aright iho affairs of (he Slate, have
been acknowledged by eminent and experienced
men both In this and other Stales. He has checked
by a Judicious use of the veto power, hasty and
corrupt legislation, and by hia firmness prevented
(he chartering <•( a host of banks and other Irres
ponsible corporations. The wisdom of his course
h is been appreciated by (he people, and his conduct
commended by them in their primary meetings.
Hia official acts have been approved and endorsed
by Democratic County Conventions in various
parts of the Slate, and we have yet to hear the first
word urged against him from a genuine democratic
source. Fur honesty of purpose and purity of char
acter, Gov. Oiolkd enj *ys an enviable reputation,
and so satisfactory to the people has been his ad
ministration, that it has frequently been compared
with ihat of the truly honest and democratic one
of Simon Sktokb.
For these reasons, we shall not fail to urge upon
every proper occasion, the re-nomination of Gov.
Oiolcr, and, when nominated, give biro our hearty
and active support.
A Speck of War,
The citizens of Erie, in Pennsylvania, are in a
state of great excitement on account of a proposl
(ion lfX.jhe Lake Shore Railroad Company to
change the gauge at tbal.placo, so that the present
delay and inconvenience arising from different
gauges may be avoided. The alteration is about
to be made under ihe authority of an act of the
last Pennsylvania legislature; but Ihe people of
Erie are determined to resist the change “at all
hazards and to the last extremity. 11 They held a
meeting on the 19th ult., and passed resolutions
which, the Putt e-ays, 44 amount to rank nullifica
tion, and are likely to lead, to open war. 11 They
say (he law was procured by bribery and corrup
tion, and is not binding on (hem. They are de-
termined to tear up the railroad at all points where
it cuosses die streets of the city of Erie. The city
council met the same evening 1 , and ordered the
bitfh nAMIaKU in Imp
ttie duty of every citizen to aid in tit® work when
called on, under a penalty of five dollars, and lin*
posing a penally of $lOO for resisting the order.
Truly, they have stirring limes in Erie. We hope
the mailer will be settled without bloodshed !

Enoland. Franck and Russia. —The N, York
Ilernld . in the course of an article on the policy of
England and France, says:—“To ask them to ao
knowledge that they have been all along in the
wrong, and to require them to recede from their
position, id to suggest that they should stultify
themselves in the sight of all Europe. It is to
demand of them a forma! act recognizing their
inferiority to Russia, and their readiness to receive
| from the Czar any terms which he may please to
i dictate. Compliance with such a request, urged j
li n such a tone, and al such a crisis, would over*'
throw at a blow the edifice which the skill of En
glish, French and Austrian diplomatists have spent
■he last forty years In erecting, and would lake
rank in history as (ho first unequivocal token of
the decline of tho VVeatern Powers.”
Deskrtion. —The Brunswick Reformer says—
it is reporud at Head Quarters that Met Majesty’s
troops are about to be removed from this province.
Among other causes which have led tho British
Government to entertain the idea of adopting this
step, is, it is said, the increasing frequency of de
sertion, and the alleged disposition of provincial
jets to aid tho escape of deserters. That many
such persons should be found in New Brunswick,
in the home.of the Loyalists, is almost incredible.
Still it is almost impossible, that eleven men, and
they strangers, could have made their way from
Predericklon to Houlion without the assistance or
at leastconoivonce of some persons resident in the
oountr]
New Yokk Cloth Tradk.— Woollens are selling
