POLOII3I,t LITERARY SgC7ETI . .—ThiS De
bating Association met in the brick school
house 'in Second street, on 'Wednesday
evening last, and discussed the question—
"ls party spirit beneficial?" A number of
gentlemen who intended to take part in this
discussion, were unavoidably absent; yet the
'debate was extremely interesting to the
members :X the society and qtaite a number
of spectators who were present, and was
characterized by considerable warmth, and
touch tact and ability on the part of all the
speakers. After a very full and fair discus
, sion, the question was decided in the affirm- I
afire. For the first discussion of the so
ciety, we think it augurs well, both as re
gards the interest that will be taken in the f
association, and its existence: and also the
bringing out or development of the argu
mentative rind oratorical powers of its mem
' hers. And for spectators, certainly nothing
can be more instructive and entertaining
than to listen to debates properly conducted,
and marked with the general ability pos
sessed by the members of this society. On
adjourning, the association determined to
hold its next meeting in the school house, on
Wednesday evening, Dec. 31, 185 G, and se
lected as the question for debsto--"Is it
wrong for a Government to deprive a wilful
murderer of lifer" Ctrs citizens will bear
this discussion in mind, and we have no
doubt that all who attend will be much
pleased.
The society desires the presence of all the ;
ladies who can make it convenient to listen.'
They will be amused, and no doubt in
structed. The gentlemen debaters all say
that their subjects will by well considered,
and that they will be particul„;.rly eloquent
on the neat occasion.
Ilommns A appears that there
are still highway rubbers lurking in this vi
cinity who conduct their operations with
darlitg boldness. On Saturday evening last
a Mr. Albright, of Maytuwn, was robbed of
all the money in his possession. .11e was
met by fonr men, on the Columbia & Mari
etta turnpike, knocked down, and his pock
ets inspected and divested of their contents.
They only obtained ahunt four dollars for
this villainy.
On Tuesday morning last, J. Irouston
Mifflin, carriage was stopped on it
way to No orwoud, his residence, about i
one mile from this place. Mr. Militia,
starting on a visit to Philadelphia., left '
orders with his boy to meet him With the
carriage lucre, it being his intention to
come up in the night line. Detained in
the city longer than he expected, he did not
arrive here that morning. The boy started
home, and when about half a mile from our
town, mai saluted by two men, who peremp
torily ordered him to "deliver." One seized
the horse's heal, and the other mounted to
the carriage and asked for Mr. M.—The boy
replied that he was nut present, that he had
nothing himself, &c. After a careful look
to see that the boy was truthful itt his state
ment, the robbers permitted him to go nn
his journey. Their intention was evidently
to rob Mr. Mifflin, who we trust, will be
ready to give them a cordial reception the
next time they make an attempt.
MarZETN.—The season for the mastica
tion of this peculiar kind of vegetable is at
hand, and numbers experence the unwonted
demand. These bipeds this year are un
commonly fine, and placed on the table make
a pretty design. They arc luscious to look
at, hut hotter to cat, and all consider them
rather a treat. A friend who is generous,

The river was frozen over last week but the
rain of Saturday night and Sunday dissolv

now halls as ,if the "second edition" was go

merchants and business men generally have
a rush, as soon as the ice is strong enough
to bear "navigation," we trust it will soon
be found in that delightful state.

be well for them to give it attention.

11tX."1711AT CARP"—an article on Honweo
putliy---wag handed in too late for this
week's paper; it will appear in our next.
13E - 43 — .A stampede Factory operatives oc
curred at No. 3 Mill on Saturday evening
under somewhat novel circumstances. It
seems that the Operatives understood that
they were not to work so late, under the new
arrangement, on Saturday as on other even
ings, and when they were preparing to leave
they found the Superintendant had locked
the door. They were not to be foiled, how
ever, and the weavers on the second floor,
girl. and boys, made their egress through
the steeond story window on m the roof of the
boiler house and out through the hack way.
We are also informed that a number of
the operatives quit last night before the mill
stopped, ou thrl ground, as they allege, that
the Superintendent was running over the
I time agreed upon. We are sorry any thing
of this kind should be attempted. The corm
promise on eleven hours Was made in genii
faith, and if the Superintendent attemps to
work them over that time the Directors owe
it to themsch es, the operatives, and the coin
inanity, to insist that he adhere rigidly to
the terms of the contract, or to discharge
him at once and employ one who will. We
favored time compromise upon considerations
of expediency, (,Hewing best for the in

it will be redneed to a very small amount.--

—A flintier named Silas Gravel, died iu
Montgomery county, Pa., a few days since,
in consequence of handling guano with his
hands when there were some slight sores
ni . ont them. The guano penetrated the sores
and in a day or two after he experienced a
sharp pain in 111.1 e of his arms, which exten
ded rapidly to the shoulder, and front thence
to the body, growing more acute, and caus
ing the whole system to become swollen.—
In this state he lingered in great agony for
about a week, when death relieved him of
his sufferings. This case and others similar
to it whieh have been recorded, should warn
farmers and others not to handle guano if
they have even a scratch upon their hands.

ing Times says:
"A day or two since some workmen enga
ged in subsoiling the grounds of Sheriff'
Wickham, r.t his vineyard in East Wheel
ing, game across a human skeleton. Al
though much decayed, there was little diffi
culty in identifying IL by placing the bones
which could not hare belonged to other than
a human body, in their original position.—
The impression made by the skeleton in the '
earth, and the skeleton itself were measured
by the'itteriff and' brother in the craft lo
cale,' both of whOm axe prepared to swear
that it was ten feet nine inches in length.—
Its jaws and teeth were almost as large as
those of a horse. The bones are to be seen
at the Sheriff's Office.
;3-Claremont, or fAc Undirqed .Uovae
hold, is the title of a work just issued by
Parry & Philadelphia. The
author, Rer. Owen, well known in this
place, and forMerly pastor of the Presbyte
rian congregation, wrote the volume in a
sick chamber, where he was prevented from
fulfilling 'the' dtities of his profession for
several months. It is a highly interesting
and well written book, and will give joy, we
believe, to many afflicted hearts. The au
thor says in his preface:
"As the recalling of the scenes of other
days proved both interesting and instructive
to the writer, he trusts that by the blessing
of God, the charms of piety, and its worth in
afflictions as exemplified in the case of the
family of Claremont, may tend to establish
the Christian in his most holy faith—direct
and encourage the sincere enquirer after the
truth as it is in Jesus—and persuade those
who have not the grace of God, to seek it as
for hid treasure.'!
The price of this work is G2l cents. A
few copies may be obtained at the drug
store of McCorkle & Dellett.

WHAT VI tHIINIASS SEEK.—The Chicago
Journal says that swarms of emigrants from
Virginia are daily passing through on their
way to the far West, in quest of rich lands,
free schools and low taxes. And really it
should not surprise any one that the people
of Virginia are capable of appreciating the
advantages of "risk lands, free sehools and
low taxes." They know, fur perhaps not
few of those now seeking homes in the West
have been compelled to feel the need of the
much abused free schools—and as fur "low
taxes," who that has ever tasted, for even
one year, the "groaning" under taxation
which the people of this State are compelled
to endure, under a mistaken policy, that will
blame any one for seeking to get rid of it?
It must be confessed, therefore, that the
platform of .'rich lands, free schools and low
taxes," has much that is taking in it!

EIISWAT. STATISSICS.--From the
most reliable statistics that reach to the
present time, the Protestant Episcopal
Church in this country, includes, as far as
returns have been made, the following, viz:
31 Dioceses, with 39 bishops and total num
ber of clergy, 1566; 1903 parishes; ordained
in past year, 79 deacons and $0 priests, can
didates for ordvs, 208; baptisms fir past
year, 24.01; coftinnatio”., 11,138; comm.-
niennts added, 11;163: - present number,
1111,73:i; Sunday school teachers, 10,133:
Sunday school scholars,S6,3s3; contributions,
$1,181,000. The communicants added are
supposed to be from the Church in England
and Ireland, a significant fact, that emigrants
do not lose their religion in leaving their coun
try, when the Church looks after them.—
This body of Christians is more numerous
than here appears; instance, fifty parishes
in New York make no return.
uni.isc is Thtoncce.--Judge Hoffman,
at the special term of the New York Supe
rior Court, delivered an opinion in a ease
which decides that an agreement to sell five
hundred pounds of mess pork, deliverable
three months after the contract, at a certain
price to be paid on delivery, where the seller
lls no Pork in his possession or under his
control, and the intontl:!” of the parties is
nut hi delivor the at',!fle but to pay the dit
ferenee between the market value at the Pe
riod of the contract and of its completion, is
in the nature of a wagon, and, therefore, not
enforceable in a Court of Justice. This de
cision will knock the spots out of the "sell
ers short" in the . city of New York and else
where.
Flom h o DE J.comto.—A correspondent
Writing from Itiu under date of the 4th of
November, says:
The United States bleep of war German
town arrived at this port on the 2d inst., af
ter a pleasant passage of nine days, from
MonteNideo. Her officers and crew were
wild in their expectations of meeting the St.
Lawrence in Rio, and were much chagrined
at not finding that vessel here.
Rio is healthy, thouzli the weather was
extremely hot. Thellritish frigate Inde
pendence, Admiral Johnson, has gone down
the coast to drill her men on shore, and 11.
11. M. ordinary ship Madagascar was in har
bor.
Montevideo was quiet, but great precau
tions were being taken by the police to pre
vent an outbreak.
I . VITED STATE' AGRICCI.TrIcAt. SOCIETY.—
The titTh annual meeting of the United States
Agricultural Society will be held at the
rooms of the Smithsonian Institution, in
'Washington, -January 14th, 1857. A lecture
will be delit ered on the application of Sci
ence to Agriculture by Professor Henry, of
the Smithsonian Institution. The various
Agricultural Societies of the United States
are expected to send deligates to the meet-
Coot:: ass UsmsnAt.t.mmn.—The Boston
6'4tzette says: "A mercantile firm of this city
received this week, a letter from the Captain
of one of the brigs they chartered, dated
Barbadoes, in which he informs them that
as he believes the United States are about
going to smash, he sold ship and cargo and
pocketed the money, which he didn't think
they would ever see again. He concludes
w i t h s o me complimentary allusions to our
countrymen, and wishes he had never seen
any of them. The vessel is the brig Boston."
FINANCES or ILlANois.—The State Trea
sury of Illinois hi on hand a balance of
$1,193,029. The amount of the State delbt
at the present time is 510,500,000, of which
amount 58,591,514 68 is drawing interest,
and upon which amount will be paid 6 per
cent. by the State Treasurer in January
next; $275,000 having alrem;;, been deposited
in New York for this purpose. The State
debt is no longer considered a burden.

famous theological writer of the present cen
tury. He was the originator of the Angli
can or Puseyite party in the church of Eng
land, and, though his early associate, Dr.
Newman, and a vast number of his disciples,
have gone over to Papacy, Dr. Pusey re
mained in the English Church. It is a lit
tle more than twenty years since he first
created an excitement in the theological
world by the publication of the Oxford
Tracts, in which his great learning and
subtle powers of reasoning were employed
to sustain a theory of Church worship based
upon the Apostolical succession, and attri
buting an efficacy to the ritual of the Church
of England equal to that claimed by the
Church of Rome. Ou account of the publi
cation of the Tracts, he was suspended from
the duties of a preacher for four years. He
was a man of great learning and unques
tioned piety, and filled the office of Regius
Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, and was
Canon of Christ Church. Ile always pro
; tested against his name being used to desig
nate the party of which he was the acknow
ledged head.
LAN1 , 1701.14:10 ANO TexA:crs.—ln one of
the ward courts in New York, last week, a
suit was brought fora 3 - ear's rent ofa house
which the tenant had abdicated at the end
of one quarter, tendering the proportion of
rent for that period, which the landlord re
fused to accept. and appealed in due time
to the law. The tenant proved that the
house was so infested with rats, mice and
every variety of smaller vermin, that it was
uninhabitable, if habitation implies comfort.
The jury awarded to the landlord only the
rest of the quarter during which the tenants
cad Fed the nuisance.

Cur. GEAny or BALL AND Cusys.—Pri
vate advices from Kansas refer in very com
plimentary terms to his present conduct of
affairs in that Territory. Among other
things it is related that Marshal Donaldson
went to him a short time since to ask for
balls and chains with which to torture cer
tain Free State prisoners. "I have no balls
and chains fbr human beings!" was the Gov
ernor's indignant response—adding, "and
no than with a heart in his breast would ask
for them!" This and similar rebukes are
stated to have incited the disgust which led
the Marshal to resign his commission.
,NO FAMILY can afford to be without Mus
tang Liniment in their house. The many
accidents we arc liable to, may render it
necessary any moment, and nothing is ca
pable of performing such a certain cure.—
( Extract.) "In lifting the kettle from the tire
it caught and scalded my hands and person
very severely—one hand almost to a crisp.
The torture was unbearable. It was an
awful sight. * * The Mustang Lini
ment appeared to extract the pain almost
iimriediately. It healed rapidly and left no
scar of account. Cif AS. FOSTER, 420, Broad
Sired, ia-" it is truly a wonder
ful article. It will cure any case of Swel
ling, Burns, Stiff Joints, Eruptions or Rheu
matism. For horbes it should never be dis
pensed with. One Dollar's worth of Mus
