He nasn smart, active and intelligent boy, and about 11 years old. His remains were followed to the grave on Monday last. attended by the German Reformed Subbath School, of which he was a member, and a largo concourse of sorrowful and trooping friends. Wo hope that this end acci dent will servo as a warning to those who are in the babil of jumping on and off the cars, and in deed, we do not doubt, but a law, passed by our Town Council, making tho offence punishable, wonld bo encouraged by our citizens.

The Democratic Stale Convention met at Har risburg on Monday. On the Iwcntj’-fourth ballot William F. Packer, of Lycoming, was Dominated for Governor, and the nomination unanimously confirmed by the Gonvcnlion. — ■Nimrod Strickland, of Chester, was nomina ted on second ballot for Canal Commissioner, sod Chief Justice Lewis v?m nominated on sec ond ballot for Judge of the Supreme Bench. Such is the ticket. It is composed of men well known for llicir integrity and talent, and it will afford ns pleasure to do it with all the energy ne postwss. Mr Packer is a gentleman of commanding abilities, who is well versed in State affairs. Few men in the Commonwealth w ill compare with him in his knowledge of the affairs of Stale, and those who know him best are his warmest friends a-'d ad mirers. With such a man ns as our standard bearer, victory is certain to perch upon our ban ners. The candidate for Canal Commissioner, 1 Hon. Nimrod Strickland, of Chester county, is Ihcvcry man for this position. He is honest, capable, and worthy. We have known him ; since our boyhood, and have always regarded i him one of the best and most mUlhgcnt men of our Slate. For many years he was editor of that sterling Democratic paper, the West Ches ter and never was he known to de viate for a moment from Democratic principles. 'Heis a Democrat from principle ond education, and a man of enlarged and liberal views. Ills knowledge of our public improvements and the resources of the Stale will enable him to dis charge the important duties of Canal Commis sioner with honor to himself and ndinnlngc to the people. His viens in regard to the manner in which our public works should be conduct ed and the resources of the Stale protertid. ac cord with our own, and we feel satisfied lus ser vices as a Canal Commissioner will prove inval uable to the Commonwealth. Of the nomination of Chief Justice Lewis, u is scarcely nccessory we should speak. Uc i* known to every lawyer as one of the oldest ju rists of our country, and sustains aicpirtnlion for integrity and probity that the closest scru tiny cannot impair. He is. indeed, a model Judge, who is calculated to shed lustre upon the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Democrats ! Our T.iokot ib- IxToro us, and ii IS entitled to our most st rruuous exertions.

Now lhat the Democratic State Convention has scltctctf a ticket for the support of the par ty—ami a most excellent and unexceptionable ticket it is—it behooves us to bury all minor differences, smother all* heart-burnings, if any exist, and yield the ticket a willing and hearty support. Ii is not men we fight for —it Is pit in** , ciplks ; and when those principles perish' country will perish with them. No doubt there arc tunny who feel disappointed at the result of theConvenlion —disappointed because their par ticular friend was not nominated for this or lhat | office. This is natural, ami not to be condemn ed— hut yet no one claiming to be a Democrat should permit his feelings to get the better of Ins judgement, and cause -him to refuse sup po'l to the principles of our glorious old parlv. Let us rather forget all petty differences about men, ami swear in our hearts that the pnnei pies of the Democratic party “must and shall bo preserved,” and lhat Know-Nothingism. Black Republicanism, ami nil the other mis erable t’.mis of miserable factions must be put down and kept down. God forbid that our noble old State should again be cursed with a Know-Nothing Black Republican Governor The dangerous ami pernicious principles of these abandoned factions should nerve the arm of every Democrat, and cause him to use every honorable effort to secure?' the election of the Democratic Stale Tickef. From present indications, we may rest assur od that the opposition w ill be united on a tick et. There is no di/Tcrence between Know-Noth- Ingisin and Black Republicanism*—they hold to the same doctrines, and arc willing to resort to any stratagem, and endorse any creed, if by so ■ doing they can accomplish their nefarious pur poses, ami defeat the Democracy. Let Demo crats. therefore, lie warned in time, ami let our watch-words henceforth be, PACKER, LEWIS, STRICKLAND, and Victory!” The Peiin<>ilrtinum says: Much inter est is rtianifcstcd in relation to the action of the Legislature upon the numerous applications pending for bonk charters, and fear is enter tained lest, from the vnrie'y of interests at work, the Legislature may be diverted from what has become* the settled' mid well under stood policy of the State in relation to these institutions. The* action of the Senate in pass ing several of these b Ils through their prelimi nary singes, while a large number of others were reported upon favorably by the Committee on Hanks, is held to be an unpromising indica tion. Not a tenth part of the new capital call ed for by these charters is needed absolutely for the legitimate purposes of business, and their incorporation at this lime is well calculated to excite apprehension, from the increased infla tion of credit they will be sure to occasion, at a time when utmost caution is requisite." Defensive Organizations. —The flagrant outrages that arc nightly committed in New York—the highway robberies committed by the new system of what is termed “garrolnig." has given rise to associations for the purpose of self-preservation. Some of these associations go around, and have words of warning, which, when heard at night, will rally such of its members aa may be near to the assistance of the assailed parlies. As the police of that city appear to bo remiss in the performance of their duly, and crime is nightly practiced without detection, these societies have been tormed ns a kind of extra police, who will probably execute summary punishment upoiv the desperadoes who may undertake lo assault Ms members.— i They me m fact, piivnte \igilnnee cnmiiul ties, for the suppression of ciinie, and may have n snhilor) uitimncc. lllu k Maiumj in I,<ij«nos.

Hion IMucrh —There arc many reasons for believing that the present prices of provisions will sliH continue. They are still high, but are not likely to be much reduc'd for a year or two. The population of our oiiiis all over the Union is increasing fast, making the consumption of food greater every year. The stocks of cattle, hogs and sheep, it is said, have not increased in an equal proportion la the imputation. The foreign demand for our bread-stuffs will always be large. The population of the whole Union will by 1860 be considerably over thirty mil lions, while but ten years ago it was but little over twenty millions. There will thus be one half more people to fecA, and rapidly as the West is (llling up and the fanning interest ex tending. the increase of production does not ex ceed the increase of the consumers. Were the population siationary, or nearly so, then there might be even a superabundance of food. But as it is, those is no chance for it. The Bridgeport (Connecticut) Farmer says: “A gentleman from Litchfield county, who was a rabid Fremonter, and who saw Mr Buchanan when in Washington a few days since, tells us lie is most happily disappointed in the appearance and general bearing of the man, and that he believes a nobler specimen of an American patriot and statesman of ihc old school cannot be found in the whole Tnion.” Bi.bedinu Kansas. —l*l the'people bear in mind (says the New Hampshire Patriot) that Kansas ceased to ■•bleed” na soon ns tho Presi dential election was over, which proves that she was made to “bleed” for effect upon that elec tion* lyot them remember, also, that every'state ment and prediction of the Black Republicans in regard to the cflcct of Mr. Buchanan’s elec tion upon Kansas and slavery —every statement and prediction in regard to the slavery question —have proved utterly /(the and deceptive: while every position assumed by the Democracy has jnovid (on eet.

Copper Coins.—As the copper coins are about to give place to new small cents made of nickel and copper, nn obituary of the “red cent” will not be an uninteresting thing. It was first issued ns a United Slates coin in 1792. It then boro the head of Washington on one side, and'thirteen links on the other.— The French Revolution soon after created a rage of French ideas in America, which put on the cent, instead ol the head of Washington, the head of the Goddess of Liberty—a French Liberty, with neck thrust lorward and flowing locks. The chain on the reverse was replaced by the olive wreath of prftcc. But the French Liberty was short lived, and so was her por trait on our cent. The present staid, classic damo, with a fillet around her hair, camd into fashion about tliirty or forty years ago. A Man attacked dv a wolf in tite capi tal op Wisconsin.—** Last Sunday morning,” says the Madison State Journal, “a young man, named P.

It flew at his throat, and. bnt for his presence of mind, in quickly drawing a small knife and slabbing it he would douhtlcs have been killed. It followed him, however, and made subsequent attempts lo gel at him, until he arrived at the American House, where he worked. Even there it stood in the middle of the street, and did not leave until two Germans sallied forth to attack it. The same animal, it appear*, al so attacked nnolhc'mim the previous evening.” Extraordinary Delusion. —A most re markable nw of delusion has just been brought to light in Philadelphia. A largo number of ignorant Germans have, it seems, permitted themselves to be victimized by a woman of their own race, named Ann Mnislcr, who pre tended to be the sister of Jesus Christ. She appears to have exercised unlimited! control over them, extorting large sums of money, jewelry, Ac. According to one of the witness es, Mrs. Maistcr was prepared lo go up lo Heaven, sealed on a while horse, and at the right side of God, and that angels were all around her. She could not go, however, ns she hail to have n gold watch, a gold p-ned. I and n gold ring before she could gel into Heav en.

A German, whose name we did not linrn. «as arrested on Mon day. on a charge of vagrancy and obtaining money on fal.se pretences. It appeared by the evidence that he professes lo bo an especial apostle or agent from Heaven, and that lie. foe a consideration, sold or insured lo one of our (lent.an citizens, a high place in Heaven. The precise stun paid was not exactly ascertained, ft was, however, in the neighborhood of SlOO. The most astonishing port of the whole affair n as (lie fact, that the man who paid the money took the part of the imposter, being perfectly -aiulied with his bargain. The apostle was held to hail for his appearance at Court —Lctr \sU)irn Democrat. Washington correspondent of the St. I.oiim lender says: “A singular circumstance happened fo Col. Forney’s residence, in this oity, which Was dis covered a few days ago. It has been closed ever since ho left here for Pennsylvania last fall, and intending lo return during the next month, had sent on orders to have it aired and cleans ed. On opening the house, every part of the furniture, from cellar to garret had been gnaw ed to pieces by rats, and ihc Moors looked ns if the recent terrible snow storm had covered the floors of the bed-rooms with its fleecy feathers. The beds were torn all to pieces, and tho con tents strewn about. Tho duly assigned to Col. Forney’s agents for ratifying his instructions in the business, was superseded by the ratifica tion that had thus already taken place by tho 'ratters’ alrcndy-in possession. His loss is said to be over 81,000 by the damage.” A Ciiauaotku I'ou Washington.— The Rev. Theodore Parker, ono of the three thousand reverend denunciators of Senator Douglas, says: '•Washington had not a great reason, no phi losophic power, no imagination, no fondness for beauty in art or literature. At times he pour ed out tho glKulltest of oaths, was not an affec tionate man, and few flowers of benevolence gleamed across his path.'" and the reason for ad this was “the fact (hat ho lived and* died a slaveholder I” Thih Is monstrous. Rut then it is this same Porker who gives to Charles Sumner all the qualities which were lacking in Washington, aim accins him a hero ami a saint, because, wo suppose, ho is not a slaveholder. Tho reverend gentleman is on of tho bright and shining lights, ono of tho leaders and teachers of Abolition Mack “Republicanism.” What docs he most deserve ? AaniOHLTimß is an Aut.— Mhn is the artist; toil his laboratory ; manure his raw material j animal strength and machinery his power; air, heat and moisture his agents, and grains, roots, fruits and forage his products. Terrible OuUrcalt in Kansas— Cot. Geary .Is | snalled—Several Persons Sliol. 1 “St. Louis, Fob:*2s.— The Jefferson City cor rtrpondcnt of the St. Louis Democrat learns, by passengers from Kansas to-night, that a diffi culty had occurred between Gov. Geary and a man named Sherrod, growing out of the refusal of the former to appoint the latter to the office of .sheriff, as desired by the Legislature, and which had a fatal termination. Sherrod had avowed the purpose of killing Gov. Geary, and, meeting him in the street, spit in his tyco. Gov. Geary did not resent the insult, but his friends got up ah indignation mccllug on Thurs day, the 19th. Sheriff Jones, Sherrod, and Olliers attempted to interrupt thef meeting, and in the affray Sherrod shot Mr. Sheppard, one of Gov. Geary's friends, four times, and wounded two others. Mr. Jones, Gov. Geary’s Secretary, there upon shot Sherrod through the head, killing him fnslan ly. Great excitement prevailed at Lccomplon, and a general fight was anticipated that nighu Gov. Geary’s residence was guard ed by United States troops. Shooting Case In Washington. Washington, Feb. 28.—David liurao went to dip Pension Office this morning, to demand •he reli notion of a charge by D. O. Lee, a clerk in that office. that lie (Hume) had picked Leo's pocket at the President’s reception last night. Lee declined to retract, when llumc struck him with a stick. Lee thereupon shot him dead with a pistol, and soon after delivered himself to the officers. * Sharpers In Utah —lf Utah has its saints, it also has ils sharpers. Brother Brigham Young, high priest and first President of the Mormon Council of Latter Day Saints at Great Salt Lake City, and aeling Governor of Utah Territory, thus denounces some of the carnal minded of the brethern: “We can pick out elders in Israel right here who can beat the world at gambling, who can handle the cards, can cut and shuffle them wilb the smartest rogue on God’s footstool. I can produce elders here who can shave their smartest shavers, and tike their money fioin them. We can beat the world at any game.” That will do. We give in to the Saints of Utah.
