Gardner, the world-renownod“ Ne-w England Soap Man.” The Professor is-circumspect arid gentlemanly in his “ walk and conversation/.’ a man of edu cation,-and'one of the most popular lecturers itripur country. In selling his soap—which hy the-way is a very superior article—he entertains his audience with a speech, in which he recounts its many good qualities. Those speeches—or, ptjrhaps, more properly speaking, lectures— abound in wit and humor, such as a “live Yan ktV” alone is capable of indulging in. His lec turcs, however, are not oniy humorous, hut they.are also, chaste and entertaining. We be lieve it isltie intention of the Professor to re main In this section of country lor some time, and wo hope our citizens will have an opportu nity of again hearing him.

Apprenticeship is the most important singe of life through which a mechanic is called to pass; it is emphatically the.spring season of his days—the lime when ho is sowing the seed, the fruits of which lie is to reap in after years. If lie spare no labor in its proper culture, he is sure of obtaining an abundant harvest; but if, in the culture of the mental soil, ho follows the example of many in tilling ihe earth, and care lessly and negligently does his work, like them, lie will find the seeding time past, and his ground only bringing forth weeds and briars. Let the young apprentice bear in mind, when ho coinmeifccs learning any business, that all hopes of success in future arc doomed to fade away like the morning mist, unless he improve tile golden season. Let him bear in mind that he can become master of his business only /through the closest application and the most persevering industry ; and that unless he docs master it, he may bid farewell to all the visions of future prospects and success. The appren ticeship is the Inundation of the great mechan ical edifice ; and sorely if the foundation of a structure ho not Arm, the structure itself crum bles and falls to the earth. Then, young, friends, persevere ; he studious and attentive ; study well all the branches of your business, both practical and theoretical—and when the time shall come for you to. take an active part in.lifc, you will not fail to bo of use, not only in your.own particular business, but in socie ty- ■ ' The Sickles Tkaueuy.— The Washington, correspondoiico of the Philadelphia Press says: “Mr. Sickles continues to receive visitors in the guard-room of the county jail. -Crowds at tend upon him daily.

Bank, and the probable value o I its notes, says that so far as tho filed account of the assignee is concerned, tho notes are utterly worthless, and that officer’s,.final account, will not show an increased value; that the notes still have a contingent value, owing to the fact I that a few persons who owe the Bank, are buy ing them up at 10 to 15 cents' on tho dollar, .to' pay their liabilities, blit as soon as this class of debts are paid, tho notes will bo worth nothing; and that the only resource loft to tho ftolehold ers is the individual liability o( tho stockhold , ers and directors, who are fully able and re- ! sponsible, arid if the matter were pushed ac. , cording to the. provisions of tho charter, the.* notes would bo worth dollar for, dollar; but this would involve protracted and expensive litiga- .

This sad event took place at his resi dence, in Washington city,on Tuesday forenoon, thefith inst., about 2 o'clock. Mr. Brown's age was 63, and he died of n disease called pneumo nia. r~r Gov. BnowN was a gcntlemah possessing great influence in his own Siam (Tennessee.) and was considered’a lending member in .the President’s cabinet. ■ Ho was indeed a ripe statesman and scholar, and was beloved by all who knew him. Being possessed of great wealth, his house was open to aH who were sojourners at tire National Capitol, and lie dispensed his hospitalities with a grace-and dignity .that, proved him a true gentleman—one whoso “heart was in his hand and his hand open.” It was our fortune to enjoy-the friendship of this pure and upright man, and most Sensibly do we feel that this dispensation of an all-wise Providence has robbed us of a friend wo loved i and honored. Most sincerely do we condole . with his afflicted family and many friends, for .. .the Toss to Them is indeed irreparable. They . can find much consolation, however, in (ho fact, that this great man was also a good man—one j who had long betn impressed with the leach t iiigs of tile Son of Man, and' whose walk and - conversation was that of a Christian. .May the . sod grow green over the dust of Aaron V. Brown: It is thought his last illness was, in a great 1 degree,.attributable to the; immense labors im ’ posed by his office. The Washington' Union 1 pays the following tribule to his memory : “As an officer of the government, he was 1 guided by Enlarged and philosophic views of the present and future of his great country, . which he loved-and’cherished with all the ardor i and patriotism of his generous nature. Hispd , lilical vision was keener I ban lliatoi most men. He-saw more of the expanding future, more of th'c-gitcatncss and,power of the American Union 1 which is sure to be developed in lime. His. i hopes were large, and his confidence in the pa triotism of his country, unbounded. He , had been educated in the school’of practical life. He had been a pioneer to the great West, the resources of which he had contributed lo un fold. He had been the artificer of his own for tunes. He was great in the line of true great ness; ho had risen to the foremost ranks of life, always an active, earnest, and faithful guide and exemplar, to his countrymen. He. brought lo the cabinst of Mr. Buchanan, not only apt experience hut comprehensive views, liberal, enlarged and stalcsinaulike. Ilis devo tion to the public service knew no relaxation. It was equalled only by his anxiety to conduct the complicated afiairs of liis great department stutsno meet the approbation and subserve the interests of his countrymen. “Death has at length overtaken him. lie : has been stricken down in the hour of his great est devotion to Itis country. Ho has been taken away in the full vigor of manhood. His loss, though a grevious’ blow to his beloved and ex cellent family—for whom we have no apl words of condolence in tins hour of bereavement—is a ’i national calamity. Dfstingtiislicd by/ability and cultivated intellect, experienced, energetic, and upright in Ufa public service, to which a ' largo portion of hfa life had betn devoted, his ' loss falls with peculiar force and damaging of- t feet upon the country. ] “The administration of President Buchanan • has lost one of its ablest and best men. The ‘ President, and the colleagues of the deceased in 1 the cabinet ate borne" down by heavy grief; for 1 a.wise and good man has bcen’taken from their ~ councils: a irien'd and brother who commanded (heir confidence and.affection, has been cut oil in the midst of his zealous labors in maintain ing the integrity and efficiency of the : govern- i ment.” THE iVEIV POSTBISTER GE.VERIt, JosEni lIot.T, Esq., of Kentucky, lias been appointed Postmaster General, by. President Buchanan, and (lie- Senate has nnaniniously confirmed the selection. Mr, -lloi.T.is eml. nently qualified for. tins' responsible position/ and will, we predict, make a most careful'Atid'; attentive ofiicor. After receiving it fine legal and classical education,ho removed to Mississi ■‘ppi, wiiere ho was actively engaged (qr.ts.omo yearsTtrpractlcing, law. Ho afterwards return- Fbd to Louisville, Kentucky, at which place he continued to reside until'his- recent appoint ment as Commissioner of Patents. Ho is said to possess very remarkable;, otraßorical, abilities, although lie rarely, delivers pirbfio .-addresses. Ue has always been a member of (he Demdcra- fic party. Ho was a delegate, from Kentucky, to tho DemocraticNulional.Conve'ntipii of 1840, and made a speech' in that body, in favor of the nomination of Colonel Richard M. Johnson as Vice-President. In 1830, he inado several Veri able speeches in (aver of (lie election of Mr. Buchanan, and he has occasionally spoken in bohail of tho Democratic nominees in other Presidential campaigns, hut has never partici pated very actively in political affairs, and lias never booh a member of either brivn.cit of (lie NationalLegislatnre. He was Cpinrtiis.sioher. of Patents at tho tithe of hie *o!ev':Uiqn to (lie Cabinet. The President's Veto Messare.—Wo pub- lish on our first page the- very able message-pf' President Bdoiianan vetoing the Bill. -Perhaps, says tho Washington Union,- np. subject connected with (ho administration-'.pit, the government Inis elicited less public atten tion and investigation than that of tho public lands. ’Tho very magnitude of tho interest has been taken as a license for every species- of ope ration upon it. The message of tbo President reviewing the whole subject and calling special attention to it is, then, -most timely and valua ble. Wo can add nothing to the 1 force and power ot his argument. It is absolutely conclu sivo upon constitutional and practical grounds; and wo trust will do much to correct the public judgment upon one of tho most important sub jects connected with the government. 'Township Elections.— Tho spring elections for township officers, will ho held on Friday, the 18th inatant. These elections are iriipor. tant, and should not bo neglected by the peo ple. Already, in- many townships, nominations have been made, and the friends of each are preparing for the onset,getting thoir paper bul lets ready for the battlo.

Heart rex ding. —The Cleveland (Ohio,) Plaindcaler gives the heartrending particulars of the death of Mrs. Joseph Boyd, by falling into a cistern. It seems that the cistern was under the kitchen, and access was had to it through a trap door. No one was in the house but Mrs.;Boyd and her little child of llirep and a half years, who, of.coursc, cannot explain the particulars of. the mother's death. When tier two other cliildrcn returned from school they asked their,little sister where their mother was, who told them “ she was in the cistern that her mother told her to bring lief a Chair, and she did so.; but that her mother wanted her to give her another chair, which she did ; that her mother then wanted her to kiss her. The little girl ran for her father, who came, and found the body of-his wife at'the bottom of the cis tern, a corpse. 7 The two chairs were also found in tire cistern, from which it is inferred that she 'slipped'inj-but did not at first drown,"and call ing upon her little child fof a chair, tried to get out, but could not, and called for a second chair with no better result, until becoming so Chilled with' the cold water, and fully apprehensive that slid etjuld not survive, called Iter child to. her to impart a ihml.kiss, and the chill of death approaching her vitals, she sank from her chair into the water and died, The Defaulting State Treasurers op Oiho'.t-A, startling developcmcnt df lhß manner in Which the public interests are endangered, and., treasuries plundered, has recently been made in Ohio, by the Report of the Commis sioners appointed by the Legislature of that State, to investigate the frauds Committed by three successive ex Slate Treasurers, Messrs.

The robberies commenced under the adminis tration of Bliss, in 1847, who served two terms, until 1852, when lie was succeeded in turn by Breslin and Gibson, and the train of' defalca tions was kept up by those worthies until 1856. .The total loss to the State, by their operations, is §581,811. Each new Treasurer assisted in covering up'the delinquencies of his predeces sor. When elected, the parties who became their sureties were bank presidents, cashiers, etc., whose sole motive for acting as tlueir bondsmen was a desire to obtain deposits of the money of the Slate. The Treasurers/ thus oc cupying Confidential relations with bank offh cials, embarked into speculations of,various kinds,-Willi the public money and the bank credits gained in consequence. of their official position. The criminals have been tracked through ajong series of financial, expedients, and their ftotuslori'with’ fetch othed,'their niis applicatioh bf.tjie public funds, their shameless mismanagement; end their guilty peculations, have been fully established.

Hireling Legislators. -Our friend Mutter, of the Easton Argus, does not appear to be plerfsed with the modern practice of legislating for hire, which has become quite tqo common, both at llarrisbulg and Washington. A re cent visit to the State Capital give Inm an op portunity of witnessing how the business was done, and he puts the seal of his condemnation upon it in the following emphatic way. The Class of members to whom he alludes, is by no means a small one, and; unless a reform be brought about, it will go. on increasing, from year to year, until our whole legislation will be under the control of hirelings: : , “It is disgusting, to an honest man, to see how openly and shamelessly these transactions of bribery are managed. A certain class of men comb here as members, for the sole purpose of making money. They bpfenly receive pay for urging the passage of bills to advance the inter ests of this or that Company or corporation, and justify, it on. the grobnd that they have been ‘retained as Counsel’ fer tile applicants. In olden times, the man Who Would receive pay for his vole and influence in faVor of a bill, was hissed at and denounced its a bribed villain. But in these modern days Of legislation they take money unblushingly and say it is‘all in the line of their profession !’ Somemcn of easy virtue may consider this all right, but it looks very much like trifien; in my eyes,” . O’ A hog, 'which had been running ifa- flier woods in Fayette county, near Unipniown, for the last four years or more, until it had become perfectly wjld, was captured recently in Centre township.

The arrival of. the old hero created considerable excitement in the neighborhood of the depot. Everybody wanted to get a sight at the hero of San Jacinto. , , Maple Sdoab.— The Somerset Whig remnrksp “ Tho season than far has been very propitious for our maple sugar manufacturers. - More su-’ gar has been made tho present season, at this date, than in any previous one. Wo hoar of several farmers who havo already made more than four thousand pounds. Thtfro 1 is no means of exactly ascertaining tho amount of this arti. ole annually produced in Somerset county, but we think five hundred thousand pounds would fall below the mark—more than is manufactured in any other county in tho Union.”' IC7* A tavern keeper irr St. Louis, the other day, drank one hundred and fifty glasses of la gcr beer, from eight in tho morning, until 12 at night, won twenty-five dollars by the opera tion, as well as the title of brute , which title, by the way, we consider too complimentary. (C 7" Tho President has. appointed A. N. Zevely (formerly of North Carolina, and for a long time a Clerk in the P. 0. Department,) to fill the vacancy occasioned by the decease of Mr. Marron. THE HISTORY OF CARLISLE. Mr. Editdri Wtial a mass of material there is ready at hand for such a history! And how exceedingly interesting, would such a correct narrative of past events prove to many—very many—of the citizens, not only of Carlisle, and Cumberland county, arid Pennsylvania, but of the United States! And, lam sure, there are many gentlemen now in and near Carlisle, emi nently qualified for such a task; to one of whom I took occasion, some lime ago, ib men tion the subject, and hoped he would have un dertaken it; but I have heard nothing from him since. ' ' The Compiler of such a history could have access to the early records still preserved in the archives of Carlisle, of Carlisle Barracks, and in those of the nation in the city of Washington. Hecould, also, have ready access to the imme diate descendants of the first settlers in and near Carlisle: tb abch, for instance, ns the Bra'ckenridges, Hamilton?,' Wcikleys, Cratg heads, Lairds, MoCo'skrys, Nobles, Armors, Armstrongs, Alexanders, HelfensleiriS, Sliroms, Loudon?, Parkers, Wilsons, Davidsons, Atwa ters. Coopers, Ramseys; BodenS,-Iteridels, utld, many other worthy sons of noble sires. . Will my friend, Mr. P. Q. allow me here to suggest to him, that, in my opinion, he could do full .justice to a brief, but correct histbry of one of the most ancient towns in Pennsylvania —to Carlisle—and that it is belicVcdsuch a his tory can be compiled —between other official duties—in the course of from 3 to,o months; comprising a neat little ociavo volume of some 300 or 400 pages. Will he not undertake it? He may set down my mame for half a dozen of copies, at least. r I feel satisfied the 'Compiler would lie- amply reimbursed for his outlay and lime; and to col lect the facts for the little book, would be both pleasant hnd interesting.. Was not the Carlisle Barracks built by the British ? When ? Was not the small Episco pal Church edifice, in Carlisle, reared by the Brjlish ? And when ? Are there not still some lands in Cumberland county, balled Manors ? Arid why ? Have you not several pretty streams near your ancient borough, such asCanodogni nit and Yellow Breeches, having interesting traditions’ Connected with them ? Have you not a curious cavern near one of them ,? Have there not been “stirring times” iH and near your town, when the Indians iriade' occasional incursions into the settlements ? . And are there not still faint traces of a trench—a military work'—across the public highway, near the Garrison? If lam riot mistaken,-at the time of the Western Whisky .Insurrection, in ,17. Geri. Washington'),himself,' accompanied- the troops,'- on their way to quell tnal outbreak—and; I think, quartered With those, troops, in the old Barracks. Is it so ? I, myself.remember see-,, ing Gen.-Wilkinson and Gen. QjptscVort there —both large, fine, and military-mokirig men. • Who, then, will undertake to furnish .the’ public with a history of Carlisle ? ' '.'] Of Last week, special UnhdtL-Stdics Mail Agent Finks and Deputy Slarsliiil Steel procee ded to the residence of a,gentleman named Smith, in Prince William county, Va., to ar-' rest a boy in his employ named 'Appleby,-on the charge of illegally obtaining a Idler from the post dike.. The boy was found, and-ap peared tt( be deeply pehiteiit, but'While the offi cers were in the bousei he slipped into the yard' and drawing s knife acf-oss his throat, histant ly inflicted an ugly wound, and would have ta ken his life had not one, of the daughters Of Mr J Smith seised,his arm. The Petersburg hitclli gentcr says: 11 From all that ban be ascertained, jealousy on the part of young Appleby .caused him to purloin the letter. Living'with, Mr. S-, and having- formed attachment "for oho Of the young ladies of the household, he became' jealous of her every act, and suspected thiu she preferred some other lad to himself. Finding that she had written a letter, to some one, and suspecting it was to his rival, he obtained the letter from.the post office, hid it read, and then destroyed it. Without knowing who Obtained the letter, Mr. Smith gave information of its abstraction to the Postmaster General, by whom Air. Finks was.directed to inquire into the af fair,- and have the guilty party punished.” O” A new counterfeit has just been put into circulation. It is on the Easton Bank, at Eas ton, Pa., and is a fac siniile of the genuine.— All the devices are the' same as the. true note: the shaded bars across the s'son the: corners are well defined on the .counterfeit, and a black line appears also that is not on the genuine.— The ink with which the note is printed is ol lighter color than it-is on the good notes.— We need not describe the other features of the note, for they are just like the genuine. The signatures are well imitated. ' . 0= The Baltimore Sim, in discussing the question, what ought’a man to do, if placed in the late position-of Mr. Sickles towards Mr. Key, concludes as follows: f* We say just what many a good and true and honest man has done before, and we could name a shining example in the act of one, who well deserves the title of hero and philosopher.' He neither slew the man nor woman. He call ed' the erring wife before’him, and bade her take whatever she could rightfully claim as her own, and leave him forever, and then like the hero that he vVas, and -isi he pursued maiifully the even tenor of his way, and all then honor him. This is what, in our opinion, a mare ought to do.” E7* As faithful chroniclers of eVery event .tending towards progress and civilization, we publish the following from a New 1 York paper: “ Keenan, (the Benicia boy,) has entrusted to his friends the arrangements of preliminaries for a fight with the champion of England. He is ready for the better, man, whoever ho may be. Tom Sayers is the present British cham pion. Sayers is to fight Bill Benjamin on the fifth of April, for 81,000 a side, and- the cham pion’s'belt. Tom fights Bob Brettle on the 20ih of September, for $2,000 on his own side, against $l,OOO on Bob’s. Hecnan’s challenge goes out to Bell's Life by next mail. Jemmy Massey has arrived. Rumor has it already that he is to be matched’, against Barney Aa ron.” Novel Sdit. —A Mr. Nellis, a matrimonial broker in New York, lately brought suit against Mrs. Ann Eliza Crouse, for $lOOO pay for pro curing her a husband. The lady was a widow, and promised him that sum if he succeeded.— He did so, and she then refused to pay. The Court refused to entertain the suit. OCT” Mr. Key, who was shot by Sickles, was not the iiTst of his family to die a violentdealh. His brother Francis was killed in a duel, by midshipman Sherburne, at Portsmouth, N. H. Destmjotivb Finn. —The saw mill and ma chine simp of S. S. Rickley, near Franklin town, Ky., were destroyed by fire on the sth inst., to gether with about 4000 carriage hubs, and oth er work,.
