LAifBEE.TON, Sec’l/. ’ Not Admissible.— The lengthy communica tion ol “W. M/,” in reply to the short note signed “J. 11. Schriver,” published in our last, cannot appear, for two reasons—First, because it abounds in personalities; second, because a controversy is unnecessary. Mr. Schriver, as one of the secretaries of the late meeting of the County Teachers’ Institute, had a right to cor rect the proceedings when lie found them erro neously published, and for this purpose we gave him the use of.our columns last week. . Lectures. —By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the Committee for the purpose have completed the arrangements for having a course of lectures delivered in Em ory Chapel, during the present and next riiontb. The gentlemen selected ,as lecturers—Milburn, McMichael, Forney, Dr. Elder, Tiffany,' and Saxe—present an array of talent seldom en gaged for a : course of sis lectures. Superior Writing Paper. —We found upon our table, a few days since, several samples of the writing paper manufactured at the Mount Holly Papy? Mills, in this county, and more beautiful and elegant paper we have never seen. It is equal in finish and whiteness to the finest English paper, and is superior, in every respect, we presume, to any made in this coiiufry. The Mt. Holly Paper Co. is composed of four or five experienced and ■ enterprising men, who have procured the best and most extensive ma chinery, to-make their\mills perfect in. every respect. The demand for their paper will, of course be very great. The Receipts and Expenditures for this county for thejyear 1858, arc published by the Commissioners in 10-day’s' paper, to which we invite attention. .

Murder Trial. —The trial of Daniel and David Funk, arraigned before the Court of Franklin county, for the murder of John Os born, resulted-in the conviction of the former of murder in'the second degree, and 1 the acquittal of the latter. Daniel Funk was sentenced to undergo an imprisonment at solitary cOnQne - metrl in the Eastern Penitentiary for a- term of 5 years and 6 months. The Valley Spirit in. speaking of- the trial re marks: “There is no excitement in relation to these trials, or their results, in this community. Every one appears-well satisfied with the man ner in which they have’terminated.” ■ The Supposed Morder.— The body of the German, supposed to have been murdered in the- bridge on Thursday night- last, says the Httrrisbhrg Telegraph, has not yet been recov ered, although search was made on Saturday and Monday. He was seen in several beer and oyster shops on Thursday evening, in company with some German friends. The affair remains involved-in -mystery, but the settled conviction stems’to be that he was murdered. It is said’ tiiat he had but three or five dollars in money with him at the time. (tv" Very pleasant—the weather. Tho Democratic Party Summarily Disposed 01. Our political opponents, says tho Patriot and Union, have a method of reasoning, peculiarly their own. This distinctive process is adapted' to no other circumstances than those conjured up by their happy imaginations, and would be false logic with any other party. As an in stance of this forcible brushing away of hard facts to give room for the exercise ’of glowing fancies, we observe a political writer of dis tinction pursuing this line of argument; after assuming that the Democratic party is divided upon every great public question—the Tariff, the Pacific Railroad; internal improvements, tho Cuban question, and concerning Mexico and Central America—ho. say's, with the utmost complacency, “the Democracy arc disentegrat ed, demoralized, and' destined to be defunct as a political organization, if only common prudence be practiced by their opponents.” We must confess that we dislike this way of annihilating the Democratic party at a blow : ibis malicious Jto come up behind and attempt to strike us down without fair notice, with the butt end of such a logical bludgeon. Mark the consistency of the argument 1 The premises are that there is a difference of certain questions among leading members'of the Democratic par ty, and the conclusion, that", therefore,.another party distracted with differences, much more irreconcilable and much greater, must vanquish" the Democratic party, because these differences exist. Suppose we apply the. same rule to the Opposition; they are for and against a Tariff; for and against the Pacific Railroad ; for and against Americanism ; for and against Aboli , lionism ; utterly without cohesion or unity up on any great question, and most particularly warring upon the slavery question —therefore, ; this party must, fall an easy prey to the De ’ raooraoy. It is a poor rule that won’t work i boih ways. 1 Our private impression is that the • Democratic parly will last'at lca-t a few weeks ■ longer. Country NEWSPAPERS.-r-One of our city magazine writers-pays a high compliment to the newspaper literature of our country, in say ing that he “ has seen in little country news: papers prose-articles.of genuins merit —articles in which were displayed the highest order of capacity ; and yet beyond the harrow circle of a county, where,, perhaps! they were not and could not be appreciated, were never read, of. even beard of. We open cvcrj’week in our of fice,'country papers, whose editorials would adorn the great city jiapcrs and make their, rep utation. But they pass away after being glanced over, and are seen no norc. There is a great amount of -talent in the country that could be made the basis of splendid reputation! But it wants a theatre for display. Like the cold steal, it must be smitten to produce fire.-- It is modest; timid, and retiring, and lives in oblivious shades, while contemporaneous aud arrogant ignorance lakes the lead in all public matters and gathers all the laurels to be won. Look at the second and third classes of con spicuous men among us. What they lack in capacity they make up in an article commonly called “ brass. ” They have stepped in whore the highest, capacity fcard to tread. They reap honors, emolument and wealth, while the timid children cf genius, like the glow-Vcrm, shine in obsdilriiy, and go wanting [nil their ■days. He wilWndcett be a benefactor who shall teach true merit how to bo courageous. .Troubles of the Industrious. —Not the least of the trouDlos of.the busy; man is to pro- j tect himself, as he sitteth in his home orgoeth , about .the . ways of tbo world, from the great banditti of the idle. Does an idle man like ( conversation? he obtairis it,not from some man .■ . i equally yawning.and vacant with himself, but from some active and well plenishcd mind, . which cannot properly spare him a moment, though be generally contrives to take an hour. Say he dabbles in literature, and in attempts at easy writing, makes, as usual, somewhat hard reading—to whom docs lie apply to got his dic tion trimmed, and his work heked into shape; but to some poor, over-driven steer of the press, whose every minute is required for his ordinary and unavoidable labor, or who can on ly spare for this superrogatory drudgery some intervals of leisure which lie ought, rather to spend in Healthy exercise, or that to him great est of all luxuries, simple vacation of mind ? The idle never think ol plundering the idle— they arc a set of luxurious dogs, and regard no booty as worth having unless it-bo a serious de- privation to its'former owners, It is upon the fully or over-occupied man that they like to proy. Five minutes from such a person is a greater acquisition than a whole day from one who has only a little to do. . Thrilling Scene in a Cuuboii.— At the Madeline, in Paris, on Christmas Eve, the well known Abhe Bautain preached in the evening, and as lie is one of the most eloquent pulpit or ators, as well its one- of the most learned theo logians of France, a very largo congregation assembled to hear him. Ascending the pulpit, ho gave forth no text, but after a pause cried in a sonorous voice, “ A Saviour is horn unto us!” He then repealed the cry, and then said: it Aly brethren, why do you not receive that glad tidings with an Hallelujah.?” Thereupon the whole congregation stood up and cried “Hallelujah!” Alter which he proceeded to deliver his sermon. v A Very sad Sxokv —An English paper re lates the death of a father from grief. It says : “His hoy, aged 8 years, was accused, on a charge of stealing a sovereign. Bail was refus ed, and the lad was sent to prlron. The lath er, on parting with bis- child, took the matter so deeply to heart that ho went homo and never again looked up. A deep-seated melancholy took possession of him; ho was obliged to give up work,.and, on the day his little boy was tried, the father breathed his last. The surgeon that attended him says that he died of a broken heart. The boy was discharged.” Human Hair. —The London market aiono contains live tons of human hair. Blonde hair is the most demanded. Most of this comes Horn Germany, where it is gathered by a Dutch Company. Fifteen years ago this was in the greatest demand,and brought $2 an ounce.— Black hair is now preferred. -It comes from Franco, principally from Brittany and the Southern Departments. The French hair bar. vest amounts to nearly a hundred tons a year. The price varying from 20 cents to a dollar per head, according to weight and quaility. The hair merchants attend fairs with a pack of rib. bone, pins, and such-small articles,,which they exchange for hair. gy The citizens in the town of Bloomington, Douglas county, IJI., have recently passed an ordinance, entitling the women, to an equality with the men ns voters. agricultural Operations of tho Patent Office.

The cultivation of the Gbiqc.sc yam has been a success; so also bald barley .from Tuscany, and wheat from the Mediterra nean. The Commissioner is of opinion that | the success which has attended the experiments of .disseminating new and useful seeds, and the collodion and promulgation of fad* connected with the history, progress, and economy of the principal staples, fully warrant the expenditure which has been made for those purposes. ' . Common School Report. —The annual re port of the Superintendent of the Common Schools of Pennsylvania, 11. 0.

Bird, | alias “ Dr. William J. Hunter',’’.who was com viclcd at Camden, N. J-, in October, 1853, (the Philadelphia: papers all print it erroneously 1858) of bigamy, arid sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment in the New-Jersey State Prison, .was liberated a few days since, a pardon hav ing been granted him. in November last.’ Bird hud made himself notorious at the lime of his arrest, for his numerous matrhnonal exploits. It came out on his trial that ho had married some twelve or fifteen wives in different parts of the country within the space of a few.years. Coolies.— A lamentable picture is drawn by an exchange of the suffering of these poor crea tures in Cuba. Uncared for, they herd togeth er like wild beasts, and get rid of life by han ging themselves, sometimes a dozen at a time. Although they are physically far inferior to the negro, the same tasks are imposed upon them, and the work demanded is so severe as soon to break them down, while if they survive. no provision is made for their return to their na tive land. 03?“ A sharp piece of swindling speculation in New Jersey waste lands was developed in Now York on Wednesday. The land Operators— they give their names as John Caroy and Will iam Robinson—had an elegant map prepared, showing a populous country village in the cen, tro of their property, and unsold lots and farms awaiting disposal. The whole thing is said to bo a gigantic fraud, and largo numbers are said to have been duped into exchanging their spare cash-for worthless, title deeds received at the hands of the parties named.

I In 1837, more than twenty years ago, Henry Clay introduced into the United States Senate the following resolution, which was warmly supported aud voted for by such Democrats as' Benton, Calhoun and "Wright: “ Resolved, Thai any attempt of Congress to abolish slaveiy in a Territory of the United States in which it exists, would create serious -alarm and just apprehension in the State sus taining that domestic institution —would ho a violation of good’faith towards the inhabitants of any such Territory who shall have been per mitted to enter with and hold slaves therein, and because when any Such Territory shall be admitted into theiUnihn ns a Stale, the people THEREOF SUALL BE ENTITLED TO DECIDE THAT QTHSTION EXCLUSIVELY FOR THEMSELVES.” What docs this resolution contemplate ? It docs not contemplate that a Territorial Legisla ture may, directly nor indirectly, by “un friendly legislation,” or otheswise, interfere with slavery in 'any Territory ; but that only when “such Territory shall be admitted into I the Union as a State, the people thereof shall be entitled to decide that question exclusively for themselves.”. To tinker with the question of slavery at any other time “ Would be a vio lation of good fauir towards" out Southern brethren. . Here is another proof of the wisdom of f res ident Buchanan,and of the extreme folly of the Republicans andagseeding Democrats who re sist the policy bfjfic President, .twenty years ago, (before every;man who went to Congress, claimed the rightjo be regarded a very great, man,) the lending minds of the Democratic Party, ns is the case now, were opposed to in terfering with slavery in the Territories, and that is the real position of the Democracy at this day, according to the resolutions of the Cincinnati Convention.

The Bights of Railroad Conductors to Eject Passengers. . In the Middlesex ebunty Court of Common Pleas, in session at East Cambridge, Massa chusetts, the following case has been tried,: John O’Brien vs. Asa Hapgood and the Bos ton and Worcester Railroad Corporation. This was an action of tort, for ejecting the plaintiff from the cars of the .defendant corpora tion, of which the defendant Uapgood was the conductor. .... . - ■ The plaintiff claimed that ho entered the cars ns a passenger, and offered to pay his faro : that it was refused, and the cars stopped for the purpose of ejecting him ; that ho then offered his fare again, which was again refused, and he was removed from a car hear the forward part of the train. The defendants claimed,.that he distinctly refused to pay his fare until after the train was stopped to eject him, and upon this, point the evidence was conflicting, and the case was argued at length to the jury, as well as on the question whether the fare was properly de manded, andUie ejection made at a reasonable place. , . ._ ft appeared that after the plaintiff was ejee- ;ed he immediately ivent to the last car in the train, jumped on with , the assistance of his brother, and without the defendant’s permiss ion, (he train being on the track, and not at any station, or stopped for any other purpose than to eject him as aforesaid; that the conduc tor was immediately informed that he had done so ; went at once to that car and again ejected him, although his brother offered to pay his fare. And the the defendants, not disputing that such .offer was made, contended that under those circumstances, the plaintiff was not enti tied to a passage; that the business of the road could not be carried on safely if passengers were at liberty to conduct in this manner, and yet retain the’right to be carried by the same train after such refusal, and asked the Court to rule that the, plaintiff was not emilled to a pas sage by reason of such offer. The court instructed the jury that if the plaintiff refused to pay his fare when demand ed in a fair, reasonable, and proper manner, the defendants might eject him at a reasonable place; that an offer of the fare after the cars were stopped to eject him was too late: but as to the second ejection instructed them for the purposes of the case, stating that he considered this a more difficult question,.as follows : , That the agents of the corporation might eject from the.cars a passenger, refusing to pay his fare, and let him go upon the road; find that they, might stay by and. keep him off, b«£ that when that act was once ended, a new slate of things began, and that it was ended when the agents of the corporation had Ceased all acts to prevent hhn from coming on to the cars. That if the cars were stationary for any reason he might get on, and when on he must be car ried. The question then arose, how long after a passenger had committed an act for which he was'jusiiafiably expelled could he get on ? ' This might be difficult as a question of fact, but it was when the transaction of ejection Was complete, and the parlies had separated. If alter the agents of the corporation'had put him off,, they did not continue their act, and he jumped on to the same train immediately, after he was rightfully there, and could not be ejec ted if he then offered his fare; and directed the jury to find whether either or both and. which of the ejections was justifiable. Under these rulings, the jury found that the first, ejection was justifiable, but the second was not so, and assessed the.plaintiff's damages for the second ejection at SI 50. The defendant excepted to these rulings, and lhe;case will go to the Su preme Court for. revision and final determina tion. , The Taiiifp Question. —The Washington Star,, of Saturday, gives the following report of a Senatorial caucus oh tins, at present, all absorbing topic: ' :' ■ “The Democratic members of the Senate held a caucus this. morning, on the subject of the tariff.. ... ■ -.

Prescott, the Histori an-—'Che Boston Post, of Saturday last, gives the annexed particulars of the death of this distinguished literary, gentleman-.; “Although he has not been in the enjoypaent of his usual degree of good health for the past six months, j yet no serious apprehensions had been enter tained by his friends. ■ About one year since, we are informed,.he was attacked with a slight apoplectic shock, from which he was unable fully to recover up to the, time of his. death. He passed the last season at his summer resi dence in Peppered, and by careful treatment was enabled, in a measure, to recover, aind de vote a portion of his time to his literary pur suits. Durihg the month of November he .re turned to the city, and no visible -change took place in his-condition during the intervening time. Yesterday morning he arose, apparently in his usual health and spirits, and nothing un usual occurred until shortly after 12 o'clock, when, with hardly a moment's warning, ho was seized with a fit of apoplexy, which resul ted in his death in about two hours. From the time of the attack until his death he remained entirely unconscious of everything passing around him.” 0“ John Travis, the great pistol shot, pro poses to shoot at a half dollar in the hand of a boy who travels with him. , A Service of Plate to Mr. GibDiNas.-r-Tho Republican Senators and Representatives of Congress, it is stated, have opened a subscrip tion paper, which was speedily filled up, for the purpose of raising between five and six hundred dollars to purchase a service of plate, to be pre sented to tho Hon.

If the editor knows that he is not only to work for nothing and find him self, but that he is also to find the. subscriber, he may be excused for discouragement. Yet there,are many who have so little reflection, so little conscience, and so much mcannes. they will take a newspaper for a whole year, and sometimes more, and not pay a cent for it.
