WESTLEY FROST, of Faydile Co Appointments by the President. By and wtlh the advice and 'consent of the Senate. : In. the U. S.

Kennedy has been appointed Collector and General Ticket Agent on the Cumberland Valley Railroad, at Chara beraburg, in the place of Mr. McCullough, who has gone West. Carlisle Depositßank— A Change.— Mr. Wm. M. Beet km, having disposed oi the stock he owned in the Carlisle Deposit Bank, to Judge Hepburn and Wm. Hi Miller, Esq., sent in his resignation as Cashier of the Institution, at the last meeting of the Board of Directors.— Mr.N. C. Mosselman, the acting Chief CJJerk i —a gentleman of superior capacity—was unani mously chosen Cashier. Mr. Beetem has been a most laborious and : zealons officer, and his only reason for selling hisstock, and resigning the Cashiership, was on account of delicate health. Under the'cir cumstances, we think the transfer of his slock (some 800 shares)- to other hands, will prove . advantageous, not only to the stockholders, but to the public at large. New Type.—The' Carlisle Herald of last week saluted iis patrons in anew dress of beau tiful Brevier type, presenting a clean, clear and, neat appearance. We arc glad' to notice' this evidence of prosperity on the part of our cotera porary.- ■■ Stbcck bt Liohtsihq —On Saturday morn ing last, a violent thunder storm raged in the upper end of this county. The thunder and lightning is said to have been the severest expe rienced in that section o< the country for many years. In Shippensburg, the barn of Mr. An derson, was fired by the lightning and consum ed, with two other barns a (joining the same.— The stock confined in the stables, and the prin cipal contents of the buildings, we (ire pleased to state, were saved. The gable end of a large brick dwelling bouse, in the. same place, was struck by the lightning and considerably dam: aged. The streets and roads were entirely flooded with the rain. Pat Up. —Those of our friends, knowing themselves indebted to us for subscription, job work and advertising, would confer a great fa vor by paying up., We have numerous bills to pay, and find it utterly impossible to settle them, while our patrons are carrying their mon ey about in their pockets—for a , man, cannot ball money his own when he owes it to his neighbor. Comegendemen, do square, upl . Oan Chops.— TiTo heavy rains which have fallen recently, while they have retarded the com, have strengthened and pushed forward the grass and wheat. Farmers from differejit parts of the county inform us that the yield will be larger than that of-nny previous year. Lutheran Synod. —The one . hundred and eleventh annual session of the Evangelical Lu theran Synod of Pennsylvania and the adja cent States, will be held at Easton, commencing oa Trinity Sunday, the 30th inst. Over one hundred clergymen are connected with this an cient ecclesiastical body. OS’-At Chambersburg,. Pa., oh Thursday night, Sire was seen to issue from ast able of Jos. M’Kesson, immediately in the rear of the new public school house, and npon the alarm being given, fire companies were soon on the ground, and succeeded in arresting the dames before they had gained much headway. Alter the dre was extinguished, a disgraceful riot sprung tip between the t<ro companies, and ter some time, flits, stones and spanners were freely used, add ■ cut heads and bloody noses was the orderof the night. tor Secretary Cass has addressed a letter to Lord Napier .upon the subject ol the recent ov erhauling of American vessels by British cruis orsin the Gulf of Mexico. It is understood that bis Lordship will make an early remonstrance to the commander of the British squadron in that quarter. The N. T. Herald has a despatch to the effect that the home squadron have been or dered to prevent a recurrence of these outrages. V Bills to be Vetoed.— The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin announces in a way that in duces us to believe it speaks “by authority,” that all the bills that, remained in the .Cover tier's bands, without approval, on the 4lh of May, will be vetoed. 1 1 quotes.. the following passage from Governor Packer’s Inaugural Ad ' dress, “as decisive upon this question," and ire think it is; < “ The propriety of signing bills by the Gov ernor between the sessions of the Legislature, has been questioned. It does not accord with the bid practice, and is certainly liable to abuse Du ring my term it will be strictly confined to tie first ten days after an adjournment ■ and all bills not then approved, may be considered as Waiting the next meeting of the General As sembly to be returned with the Executive disap proval." Among the bills thus held over, are Mr. Doh i ert’s bill relative to Insurance Companies, and the bill repealing the old Usury Laws. Treasury Notes. —Among .the successful bidders for the five .millions' of United States treasury notes, about to be issued, are the York Bank, $60.000: Fanners and Mechanics' Bank. Philadelphia, $200,000; Columbia Bank, $BO. 000: Farmers’ Bank of Lancaster, $40:000; -Van Vlcck, Reed & Drexel, $5OO-000 : E. W. Clark S> Co., Philadelphia, $100.00Q; Bank of North America, Philadelphia, $200,000, and the Fork County Bank, 40,000. These bids ranged from 34 to 4{ per cent. ■.

D. .Wafers, and one Wallace—charged with ob rtaiaing bounty land warrants on false and forg dipapet), knowing them to branch. The Biitisli in India. The British people, says the Boston Herald, have a question before them of momentous mag nitude, greater lhnh any they have been called upon to determine since the dismemberment of the Empire, when the United Colonies of Amcr- . lea were declared independent of the British Crown. It!#, “How shall India be govern ed 1” The question absorbs every other in the minds of statesmen. The government are in a state of hopeless perplexity and know not how to deal with it, while parties are divided into factions upon it, each faction having a .favorite.scheme which is based upon the knowledge each may happen to have of the real slate of afiairs. , The reason for the great diver; sity of opinion which is apparent on this grave subject, is found in the fact that a correct knowledge on Indian afiairs is a rare thing in England. The government have systematical ly kept back information, falsified dispatches and suppressed documents, until they do not themselves know the true state of afiairs as they arc set forth in the documents in the public of fices, from the declarations in the documents which have been permitted to be published. But there is a great and powerful, and indus trious party! n England, who wilt not permit the outrages of the government in India to pass un questioned, and they are busily engaged in set ting the public right in regard lb -the true con dition of things in that .unhappy country. It is from them we learn that the stories of the outrages of the Sepoys upon women and their murder of children are hellish British inventions to enlist a cooperation of the British people, through their indignation, which could not be gained by appeals to their sense of justice From them we leant that tho Sepoys have cher ished and honorably treated English wonjen and children, despite the provocations and wrongs they had sufiered, sending them under the pro tection of the British flag whenever opportunity offered. How hideous docs British policy appear un der this explanation. The world . hah been cheated of its sympathies by the most mons trous lies, and those sympathies have been pros tituted to uphold murders and atrocities of the blackest hue.. But.ihis feature of British di plomacy is not new. In her contest with revo lutionary France, she employed an engraver to counterfeit the French assignats which was done to the extent of hupdreds of millions of francs, and when the agent in this honorable mode of meeting an enemy was no longer ne cessary, he was induced to try his skill in coun terfeiting Bank of England notes, a crime pun ishable With death, and was put out of the way , not indeed executed, but silenced, that he might? not expose to the world this wholesale forgery. The English press lias done its beat to diffuse throughout the world the idea that the Indian population are remorseless, treacherous, revenge ful and blood-thirsty; If they are not, it is be cause they arc not. apt scholars in lessons of this character which the English, have set be fore them for a whole century. There are among the India officials in India, many honor able and high-minded men, who will not dis guise the truth nor shut their eyes to the En glish wickedness through which that people have suffered. Among them, is Malcolm Lew in, ajiidge in India, who has given the best and clearest idea, in a succinct form, of the so cial position of the people of India before the in surrection, that we hare seen: ■ “ India lifts for many years been a highly civilized people. England might borrow with advantage much of the civilization which pro- I vails ip India. We have scatttered over the country the vice of drunkenness, and our own personal morals have not been such as to im press the people that we are- Christians. We have cultivated the opium drug, which has prov ed the curse of India and China, and exposed the character of Englishmen as pirates. We have plundered the native princes wherever their estates were worth plundering. We found the people with peculiar laws, social and domestic; we have endeavored to disturb fhckn without providing any substitute. The people.-lhrough out the country are now in all respects, unset tled ; and until we retrace our steps there will be no quiet in the country, and our rule will never be secure, . Our rule has been that of the bandit and, the robber, and we are suffering from the natural result —insurrection.” r. There is no doubt a just estimate drawn from experience and close observation. It shows that Ihdia cannot be pacified with anything that British power can do short of retracing its steps. The Judge’s opinion furnishes a clue to the proper action to he taken by parliament. — Six hundred millions of human beings in the East, arc filled with a just hatred against Eng-, land for the primes which England has done.— The rebellion which.the false dispatches (ell us from time to time is crushed out. breaks out anewt continually, in unexpected places, and spreads throughout the Bast. Il ls clear that the only hope of England lays in the suggestion of Judge Lewin;—“ Retrace your steps <” The Members of the Scott Legion, at Pittsburg* presented Judge Black with an ele gant silver pitcher on Wednesday evening, as a mark ot their esteem lor him as an'officer and a gentleman. Judge Black, wo need scarcely stale, served his country with honor in Mexico;, and this tribute, coming from the men. who foughfwitli him.in that memorable campaign, peaks volumes for'his worth and their grati tude. . 03?"

Two lovers wanted to get married, nut the girl’s mother wouldn’t consent, and she being et ago, the gentleman sued out a writ of habeas corpus, and the mother was com pelled to bring the daughter to court. The judge asked the girl whether she wanted to mar ry Smith ? She said ‘yes,’ and he married them. , Revival or the Shoe Business.— The Lynn (Mass.) Bay State says, we have the pleasure to announce the thorough and, wo trust, the per manent revival of the shoe business of Lynn. The increase of business in this important branch of. our'industry has been greater since the reac tion' took place than the most sanguine anticl. patod. All hands are employed at nearly the old prices of labor, and on certain stylos a suffl. dent number of workmen cannot bo obtained- O* The Legislature of Cnnnecticut met on the sth inst. Republican officers were elected in both Houses. William A. Buckingham, the new Governor, took the usual oath of office and delivered his first message. ■ O’Mrs. .Colter, of Washington, has presen ted her husband with a boy born with a perfect pair of wbiakora ■ ■ What Kill Mexico do t 111-fated, ill-governed, distracted Mexico— what is to be done with her—what will she do for herself? These are important iqucrics,how and when will tlicy be answered ? . The Richmond South, after discussing vari ous projests, closes its observations in relation to the matter as follows; ’ “What then, will be thc-result? Clearly to prove that Mexico is hotHttcd fbr.aconfederate government. She must be -Tenolved into her original components'. ThtfStatcs must assume their own sovereignty, assume amongst them selves alliances offensive and defensive, political and commercial. Perhaps, when these S ates shall be discharged uf the burden and oppress ion of a central despotism, they can maintain a cheaper and simpler (orm of government with less difficulty; we should suppose the separate States could succeed os well in meeting their national responsibilities as the separate Stales of South or Central America. “Should these Stales adopt a liberal and just encouragement to foreign immigration, the ac quisition of properly, and the guaranty of equal rights, it cannot be doubted but there must be a rapid, deveiopement of those advantages in which Mexico is the superior of every country on this continent; and- should, in the fullness of time, the introduction of a new population into these with the doctrines of freedom and civilization, fit them for association with the American Confederacy, we do not see why, after an adequate quarantine, they may not be ad mitted into the Union. Texas and Louisiana had been claimed by Franco and Spain for near ly three centuries. The occupation of these provinces was confined to some military sta tions and a few feeble settlements. In the hands of Spain they were both a charge upon the revenue of Mexico. In the hands of the United States both these provinces have be come prosperous and powerful states. What, then.forbids the same process from* taking place in regard to the remainder of Mexico ? We can see no reason., ■ The Dibit Lithe Pro.— The Mississippi Sionilqr says : “ Going up the street a few days ago, we saw a sight we didn’t expect to see, nor do we expect to see again in a great while. It was nothing more nor less than a little negro hoy. about four years old, stretched out. upon the ground beside a poor, mangy looking smf and sucking away as though it was his mother. Such a scene is not often witnessed in our town, and it rather amused us. ‘ And what was more,, the sow. seemed to like the idea of; suckling a human pig.” The Nationam Foundry Site. —As Congress will adjourn on the 7th of June—two weeks from Monday next—it is not probable that the bill for tiie establishment of n National Foundry will be acted upon during the present session. The Secretary of War, Hon. J, B. Floyd, has expressed the' opinion to a number of gentle men interested, when the bill fs passed, it will be so framed as to require the President to ap point a joint committee composed of officers of the Army and avy, whose duty it shall be to visit the prominent locations’deemed suitable for a site, and report to 1 the' President of the. United States,'who will be privileged to select the most approved location. Thus the matter stands ett present. The Plea op Insanity.— Anegro in Louis villo broke open a box belonging to a comrade, containing three silver dollars, and stole one of the pieces. Having been arraigned for the theft, the usuaiplea of insanity was urged, the counsel declaring that np sane man would take one and leave two dollars behind. Whereupon ■ the euffee who was robbed exclaimed with great emphasis; “Massa, 1 tell you that nigger ain’t crazy; he broke my box open and took dedol. lar but. L Now, if he. had broke do box open' and pof a dollar in, den I’d say he’s crazy: Hfs argument was conclusive and the thief was sent «P< ’• Death op an Infant Heiress.— The death of Jessie Barber, aged four years and nine months is announced in the Chicago papers. This little girl,was.the last surviving member of the family of the late Jesob Barber, of Chicago, who, with his wife-and daughter, perished in the Collins steamer Pacific, in 1858.' At the' time of his death his property was estimated at about $250,000, and since increased in value to $400,000. By his will the entire property fell to the infant Jessie. In case of her death it was to revert to the next kin. The nearest kin are Mary Ann, Harriet and Lucy Barber, of Bir mingham, England, and Eliza Bell, of Simcoe, England. Marriage Interrupted—A marriage at North Hadley, Mass., was seriously interrupted lately. The copipany had gathered at. the house of the bride’s father, filling it to its ut most capacity, and when. Just before the knot was to bo tied, some singers commenced sing ing a piece appropriate fa the occasion, in one of the lower rooms, there was a general rush in that qnarler. that the,flooring could sfand it no longer, and let the whole company, stove, sera phino. chairs, and ail, into the cellar be|ow.

Alas ! lor onr neighbors. They aro in a sad condition indeed. Convnlsc'd at home, and threatened from abroad, with a treasury utterly exhausted, it is not a matter o) much surprise, that the Government 1 is constantly changing. The only wonder is that the various Slates have contrived to hold together so long. But the days ol the Republic are evidently numbered. A few years hence and the dismemberment will bo fully effected; Geeat Pigeon Roost. —The pigeon roost; In Decatur county, Indiana, extends over a dis tance of twenty-eight miles; it is about fourteen miles wide. The birds have not nested at this great roost for about thirty yoirs until this spring. Over this vast extent ol conutiy every tree' has (rom ten to fifteen nests, and every nest has at least one bird. The young are m w hardly stile to fly, and shooting is more slaugh ter. The old birds leave early in the morning in search of food, and return in the evening. tty The work on thb crevasse at Now Or leans has been abandoned, all attempts to check the inflow.of tho currant having proved fruitless.

In the'British House of Commons,Mr. Disraeli’s first resolution declaring it expedient to vest the Indian government in the Crown, has been passed. The advices from India are one week later. The main’feature is the capture of Jhansi by the British force under Sir H. Rose, with great slaughter of tiro rebels. Jhansi is h largo fortified city in Bundclcund, having a largo trade and considerable manufactures. It is the capital of a rajahsbip, having a population of nearly 800,000. General Roberts has also as saulted and captured the town of Kotah, which is a populous and fortified town on the Chum bui. The debate on Disraeli’s India resolutions commenced on Friday the 80th. The first reso lution was carried with cheers, when the debate adjourned. The operations on the Atlantic cat bio wore going briskly forward.

Peter Gregory, of Union township, Luzerne county, was shot by his brother, Jacob Grego ry, on Friday night, April 30, and died in 24 hours. ’ Dogs had been after the sheep belong ing to Jacob, on Thursday night, and on Fri day night they returned. Jacob went out with his loaded; gun to watch them. Soon after, Peter, who lived with his brother, also went out and stood in the road in a stooping position, with a Stone to threw at a dog,which was com ing towards him, when Jacob fired, striking Peter in the arm, shattering the elbow,and pen etrating the kidney and stomach. As Jacob went to the house, supposing that he had missed the dbg, Peter called to him, ‘-Jake you have killed me.” Jacob’s wife hearing, called for Peter, supposing him. still to be up stairs, and told hint that her husband had shot somebody. Neither brother knew that the other was out. Jacob is almost wild with grief and regret. His brother.liycd'long .enough to explain how it oc curred; - Dreadful Affair.— Mr. Amos Barlow, of Medina, says th& Cleveland Plaindealer, of May sth, informs us that ns he was coming to the. city this morning lie saw. a few rods ahead! when about five miles from town, two hogs rav enously-devouring something in the middle of the road. As he approached the spot the hogs fled, leaving a small pool of blod in the road.— On investigation,,Mr, Barlow found that it was an infant the hogs had been engaged oh. The head and one foot were whole and untouched. but the other portions of the body, except a few bones, had been devoured. By the head Mr. Barlow thinks it was a lemale infant. Looking in (he direotionfikenby the hogs in their flight, Mr. Barlow saw a woman lying in the gutter, apparently asleep, Be went to her. and found that she, was in a state. of intoxica- lion. Evidently tfie miserable wretch was the mother of the infant. Mr. Barlow informed' the people of a farm house hear by, and they went and carried her to their house. a stranger to them.

By the Detroit papers we learn of a tragedy which occurred at the Slate University of Mich igan, located at Ann Harbor, which has rightly produced great excitement in that village. A iettler to the Detrgit Advertiser states that a former student, named .George W. Brazeo, was anxious to be initiated into one of tbo col lege secret societies, and some of the students; on Friday evening of last week, played oil upon him an initiation into a piock society. Beer and whiskey were obtained and partaken of very freely by Brazce, who before coming to the meeting had also been indulging in drink ing. lie become very drunk, appliances to sober him, were tried in vain, and the students, supposing ho would sleep off the effects,.put him to bed, and during the night attended upon him. In the morning he was still drunk, and the students went to their' studies, but return ing about noon found him dying, and ho breath ed his last before medical aid could arrive. A Mystery Explained, The Chicago papers contain lull particulars of the arrest of Henry. Jurapertz, charged with the murder of the woman whose butchered body was sent to Neiv-York by Railroad, artd there discovered in a whiskey barrel. Jumpertp makes a full statement of the affair, but doubts are expressed as to its truth, in one important particular. The whole matter discloses a sad picture of . the immorality of all concerned. — First, the unfortunate woman lived unhappily with her husband, by whom, it is said, she was maltreated. She sought refuge in another fam ily ; and while there, owing to improper con duct upon the part of those >with whom she lodged, she was' thrown into evil correspond ence with Jumpertz. She then went to live with'the prisoner—a child being born to them: she frequently but in vain, entreated him to marry her; and at last, in utter despair, hav ing.abandoned her husband, and being, as she thought, abandoned by her lover, she hung her self in the room of the latter, j This, it must be remembered. Is his statement; but Uis strong ly suspected that he murdered her.] The pris oner. alarmed, resorted 16 secrecy : he cut the body up, packed it in a barrel, and sent it oft. With that consciousness which follows .crimi nality, he had been expecting to be arrested for a long time, and, now, that he has been arrest ed, makes a confession voluntarily of what he Says has been his agency in this aflair. The , Whole thing is astounding.. In one of the lar gest commercial buildings in Chicago, in the very heart of business, is a man living with a woman :, she hangs herself, and for a week her companion is engaged in hacking her body to pieces, packing the limbs in a barrel, and no one is aware of what is going on. Suicide it may have been, but, whether suicide or mur der, it was performed with unbounded secrecy and success in a building tenanted by. perhaps fifty other persons. • . Bloody Tragedy in Philadelphia —The Philadelphia papers contain the particulars of the following tragedy, which was enacted on Thursday morning in Franklin Square., Geo: P. Goodwin, a barber, in the employ of R, Dol. lard, hr Chesnut st, opposite the State House, who had been living for some time with’a worn . ah named Lizzie Marshall, attempted to mur der the lallcr' by shooting her with a pistol. He then turned the weapon upon himself, and; discharged-a fUwlahotthrough his heart. The wretched man died in the course of half tfn hour, but the wounds of. the woman, although of.a very serious character, are not likely to terminate her. life. Jealousy was the cause of this terrible deed. It appears that “Lizzie,” whoso real name is Anna. Garland, Had'recently taken up with a man named Samuel W. Ran dall, and refused to live with Goodwin any lon ger. This drove him to desperation, and un der pretence of taking final leave of the woman, he obtained her consent to meet him in the Square, with Randall, to say a 'lew parting words ; but it turned out that the interview was sought for the express purpose of taking her life and his own. Goodwin was 23 years of age. lie was raised in Boston, Maas. lie has a .mother, and also a wife and two chil dren. ivho reside at No. 82 West Cedar street, in that city. He came to Philadelphia about two years ago, and brought with him this “Lizzie Marshall,” a handsome, showy, wom an, now 24 years old. whom he represented as his wife. It has been since ascertained that she was brought up in Lynn, Mass. Of their previous history, or how they canie together, nothing is known, as it whs not suspected, un til recently, that (he relation existing, between the parlies was other than legitimate. Ran dall, who supplimted Goodwin in the affections of Lizzie, is .the agent ofithc New York Jewelry Manufactory. . ' The Murder.at-Nobfolk.—James P.
