Among the participants was a young ULU] named William Owens, a carpenter, who was accompanied by his wife and child. About midnight, Owens raised one of the windows on the east side of the Hall, and eat down upon the window sill. By some mischance he fell out and struck upon the pavement in a side alley, a distance of about :;0 feet, breaking his neck and fracturing his skull. The ball was broken up as soon as the fatal occurrence was known, and the family of the deceased was taken home in a chaise. Mrs. Owens was not informed of the sad termination of the affair until after she had reached home.

The faets arc substantially these: Four men named Abner Reese, William Patton, Henry Shultz and Horatio Dunkle, having discos cred the whereabouts of one ot• the cables of the York Furnace bridge, which was swept away by the late freshet, started up the river in a small boat fur the purpose of securing it. They succeeded in loading the cable in the boat, which be ing very heavy made the managing of the boat a somewhat difficult matter. They succeeded, however in descending the stream in safety, until they came opposite Idol's Island, when the boat struck a breaker, cap sized, filled and instantly sunk. Reese, Patton and Shultz were drowned, but their companion, being a good swimmer, succeed ed in reaching the Lancaster shore in safety. Abner Meese, who resides in Providence twp., leaves a wife and family to mourn his untimely loss. He was highly esteemed as a citizen in the neighborhood where he re sided, and general surprise is expressed, by all who knew him, that he should have risked his life in such an expedition. Henry Shultz resided in Martic-twp., and had no family, having separated from his wife some years since. Wm. Patton was a single man and a la hozer or special jobber about the river. The cable which they had in the boat when the fatal occurrence took place, was very valuable, and had been used in the construction of the false-works of the bridge.

DA%ID M rcuit.r., Esq.—lt gives especial pleasure to notice the recent action of the Ca nal Board, in the appointment of David Mit chell, Esq., as superintendent of the Colum bia Railroad, in place of Col. Joseph B. Baker, who goes intolthe custom-house at Philadel phia. Mr. Mitchell is known to the people of Pennsylvania, as a gentleman possessed of rare qualifications to discharge the duties of the office to which he has been appointed.— Besides being a practical engineer, with a high reputation earned in his profession, he has business qualifications that are not excelled by any man in the State ; and to crown all, he is a gentleman who, while he is mild and courteous in demeanor, is, at the same time, a very Caisar when the sterner qualities of his nature are called into requisition.—Keysfone. The Commissioners of this county, announce that they are prepared to pay the intereqt on loans, at any time calift.l for, on or Lefore the first day of April. zer Cov. Geary, who has resigned the Governorship of Kansas territory, as before announced, arrived in Harrisburg, on the 20th inst., direct froth Kansas, and during his short stay, was called upon by a large number of the citizens and members of the legislature, who were cordially received by him, and to whom he related the condition of affairs in Kanacts, which he represents as deplorable. The Government, he says, is entirely in the hands of the Border ;Ruffians, and no power but the military arm of the General Government can control them. The legislature is wholly pro-slavery, and every act of theirs looks to the permanent estab lishment of slavery in the territory, regard less of the rights and wishes of the majority of the people. Ile has no doubt, he says, that if a fair expression of the opinion of the actual tuna fide settlers could be had, two-thirds would he found favorable to the territory being free. But this fair expres sion of the voice of the people cannot be had. The election that is to come off in April, will not be participated in by the free State men, for the reason that under the laws, and the manner in which they are administered, they could nut have a fair ex pression of their opinion. The territory is already swarming with Border Ruffians, who have been colonized along the Missouri border with the express purpose of voting and carrying the election for slavery. There is no hope for the free State men unless the General Government or Congress, will se cure to them their rights. The adoption of the Slave Constitution at the approaching election, be thinks, is inevitable under the circumstances. The TeleyreipTy says that the Governor is accompanied by hi, Private Secretary, John Gillen, of Philadelphia, who has Leen con stantly by his side, and he gi‘es also a most deplorable account of the state of affairs in Kansas. Mr.lion says that every man hailing from a free State is considered an Abolition ist; and even Richard 3PAllister, celebrated for his slave-cateliing prod itieg when in Harrisburg. is clasQed by the Border Ruffi ans as a rank Abolitionist and Free State Man I Gov. Geary was in Washington on Mon- I day last, and on that day expected to have an interview with the President, but was I unable to do so in consequence of the ap ' pointments occupying the time of' the Presi ! dent and Cabinet. He had a consultation with Gen. Cass on Saturday, to whom he related a succinct ac count of afthirs in Kansas up to the period of his departure. lie says that in all his conduct he aimed only for the peace and welfare of the people, and that in the ad ministration of his duties, all classes were treated with the strictest impartiality. The Governor reiterates the opinion that the pop ulation of the Territory is still too small for its admission us a State, and considers it best that it should remain as at present until its numbers shall increase sufficiently to send a Representative to Congress. The Nurill Awerican, of Thursday, has an article on Kansas affairs, and the difficulties the administration will have to contend with in that Territory, in which it is said—Guy. Geary has resigned his post. At first it was belimed that he would be sent back. But the Governor is rather too keen a man to be twice victimized. To prevent such a con summation he published a farewell address, and communicated to various Republican newspapers such statements concerning the outrageous condition of affairs as he knew would he sure to prevent his return. More over he so timed his resignation as that it should go into effect before he could reach Washington, and thus he cannot withdraw it if he would. In fact, the Governor has grown sick of such au empty honor. Like Reeder and Shannon, he fancied before going to Karosas that he was really to Lo I ot ernor, but a brief experience was sufficient to teach him that the national appointee is a mere man of straw. Das id If. Atchison is, and has been as nitwit the Governor of Kansa, as Brigham Young, is of [tall, and like him, too, in defiance of all law, of civil regula tions. There is a fictitious slow of a terri torial government maintained at Leeomptou but the capital is located at Platte City, Missouri, from whence emanate all orders, laws, writ, of arrest, etc., for the subjuga tion of the refractory people of Kansas. Dr ITH OrELIAOLr E . L A ss...— We have the unwelcome duty of announcing the death of Elliott E. Lane, brother of Miss Harriet Lane, and nephew of President Buchanan and of the late John N. Lane, of this city. lie died sud denly and unexpectedly, about half past nine o'clock, Thursday morning, of inflammation of the bowels. He had been unwell for a day or two, having taken a slight cold while planting some trees at Wheatland ; but nothing serious was apprehended from it, either by the family or his physician; and no alarm was felt until a very short time before his death, and then it suddenly became apparent that all efforts to save him from the grasp of the grim mes senger" would be useless. Mr. Lane was a young man possessing excellent and commen dable traits of character, and his death is not only a severe shock to his relatives and inti mate friends, but will be generally lamented by our citizens. The receipt of its intelligence at the White House, in Washington, was as unexpected as unwelcome, and must have as suddenly cnanged the scene there from joy to mourning, as the electric spark that carried it. Mr. Lane was considered the favorite nephew of Mr. Buchanan, and as principally possessing his confidence and regard; and his death will therefore be the more keenly felt, from the fact that no intelligence of his being ill had been communicated to his sister or the President—and the first information that reach ed them was that of his sudden and unexpect ed departure.—lnland Daily. re'A girl WaTi horribly burned in Pitts burg on Monday night, by the explosion of a fluid can while she was in the act of filling a lamp while burning, She is not expected to survire.

EDITORIAL OELANINGS AN EDITRESS % . /TIIOLT A WANDROBE.-Mr2. Prewett, the editress of the Yt.zno City (Miss.) American Banner, recently visited New Or. leans, where she met with a sad mishap— nothing mote serious, liewefer, than the loss of her trunk„ containing helwardrobe, jewel ry, &c. She says in her parr : I request that if this notice falls under the eye of any steamboat otliceit or any body else, that knows anything of my strayed property, I hope he will advise me oflits whereabouts, as 1 am much inconvenience and distressed at its loss. My name, 11. P. Pewett, is painted on one end, so there can bed mistake about its ownership. If any thiet pas got it, I can only say that he must have I heart, indeed, to rob an editor of a 10 ississipil newspaper. No ! human natuie is bad enough.

If, however, any one has talen it by mistake, Nit him send it back, end ni questions will be asked." • GOOD Anvice BADLY BEIRIVED.—Governor Gardner, of Massachusetts,in his recent pro clamation for the annual State Fast, made the following excellent suggestiins to the clergy : May those called to milister at God's al tar, impressed with the trath tbat national transgressions can only be corrected by re moving individual stria, abstain from political discussions and secular consderations." This suggestion says the Boston Atlas, is " not received by the puilic in a manner complimentary to his Excellency," and quotes paragraphs from several paters in illustration 01 the fact. Nevertheless it is eminently just. Men are much more wdlint to humble them selves for the sins of others than for their own. With the Pharisee's pride tley can lament the condition of " this publican " but have no con ception of the fact that in eight of God he is a better man than they. Reauke is often most needed where it is least acceptable.—Journal of Commerce. MmEsom.—Ex•Governor Ramsey, in an address at an agricultural fair in Minnesotta, says there is yet room in that territory for a million and a half more of farmers. He thinks Minnesota will some day produce more corn and wheat than any other state in the Union. He repudiates the idea that the climate is too cold for people from the old states. He repre sents the climate as equable and steady not sub ject to frequent changes, and decidedly favora ble to health. A system of railroack is already commenced that will give access to markets, and enable farmers to get prices for their sur plus products and stocks nearly equal to those of Illinois. Be says that from Minnesota to the foot of the Rocky Mountains, a distance of nearly a thousand miles, there is good farming land nearly all the way, and abundance of tim ber. A PLEASANT SI'EPIIIE PARTY.—The Wor cester, (Mass.) Spy says—The parishoners of Rev. J. G. Adams, preacher to the Universal ist Society in this city, called at his residence on Tuesday evening, aid made themselves perfectly at home 11/ the ab,ence of their pastor. On his return Rom an evening call, he found the house literally crammed with people, and the tables loaded with ben itiful and substantial presents, among which was a purse containing two hundred dollars in gold. We are glad to notice such exhibitions of kindness and good will, for they illustrate that happy condition of the society which is nost favorable to its prosperity.

The murderer was ar• rested at once. RIGHTS OF TEACIIF:RS.—In the Supreme Court at Portland, on Tuesday, Geo. B. Elden, keep er of a high school at Windhan, was tried for assaulting a pupil. Judge Davis charged that the master in a school acted in the same ca pacity as a parent at home, and had the right to enforce obedience to school rules by proper punishment, and left the jury to decide wheth• er this right was exceeded in this case. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The case was tried previously before a justice of the peace, and the teacher was fined $5, and appealed.

STOKE q, k:SQ.—The Sabiol,tlea arti cle, ta4ken from the Philadelphia Eennsylva nice, And which originally appeared 1/1 the Greensburg Democrat, will be of interest to our Democratic friends. the Pennsylvanian says:---15 Air. Stokes spent the first years ,of his professional life at the Philadelphia Bar and is familiar with the practice of our Courts here. lie is a native of Philadelphia, and his talents are known amongst us better than those of any lawyer or judge out of the city :" y the appointment of Judge Black to the Attorney Generalship of the United States, a vacancy PAS been pleated upon the Supreme Bench of this State, which will be filled by Governor Pollock until the election. It will be necessary for the Democratic State Con vention to re.assernhle to nozninate an addi tional candidate for that position. In looking over the list of gentlemen named in connection with that nomination, we find no one whose nomination, in our opinion, would be so desirable as that of a distinguished citizen of our own county: we allude to Win. A. Stokes, Esq. In our opinion, there are several requisites for an available candidate for that vacancy. Ist. The candidate should be taken from [he Bar. In other words, he should be one who has not forgotten the difficulties of the pro fession. W. He should be a Western man. All the other candidates upon our State Ticket have been taken from the East, and it would be but an act of simple justice to the West to give this section of the State the candidate for this office. 3d. He should be a party man; for so long as these offices are filled upon party grounds, it is but right they should be g iven to the men who have done service for th e party. 4th. He should be a man of ability, and a lawyer of reputation. sth. He should be of an age at which his judgment is matured, and he should not be of that age when his faculties aie in any degree impaired. In all these essentials, Mr. Stokes has been eminently favored. As a lawyer, he stands among the highest of the profession in Pennsyl vania. His mind is strong and active, and a ready discriminating judgment points him out as the proper man for the position. As an orator, we have never heard his superior.— With a chaste and easy speech, a smooth and pleasant manner, and a convincing power of reason, he is,indeed, a model orator. As a party man, th ose who heard and read his elo. quent appeals for the Constitution and the Union, in the first campaign, will readily pass the judgment of their hearts in his favor. He has just about reached the proper ag4 for that Bench, being neither too old nor too young. We trust that when the State Convention meets, it will do honor to itself and to the Democratic party by the selection of the man we have named." CoLuatinax Guano.—The attention of our subscribers is directed to the advertisement in this paper of Messrs. Richards & Miller, of Philadelphia; and we quote from distinguished Agricultural Journals in regard to the Colum bian Guano they advertise. "This article is gradually coming more into use amongst farmers. It has already estab lished a favorable reputation, gaining decided confidence as a prominent fertilizer. Agriculturists in Maryland and adjoining States, who have given it a trial, speak most favorably of the practical results. An espe cial desideratum is, its cheapness when com pared with Peruvian Guano, and its more last ing effect upon soils. The nutritious or ferti lizing ingredients of this fertilizer cannot be disputed. It has already produced results suf ficiently convincing and efficacious to warrant its future rise. We have seen highly satisfac tory analyzations of this Guano by distinguish ed Chemists, amongst whom are A. Snowden Piggot and David Stewart, of Baltimore; A. A. Hayes, of Boston; J. A. Chilton, of New York; James C. Booth and F. A. Genth, of Philadel phia; but it is not our province to give details. The article has assumed sufficient impor tance to require the establishment of an ex tensive agency in Philadelphia, and we there fore refer to Richards & Miller, No. 92 South Front St., Philadelphia, where farmers and Whets can be satisfactorily accommodated."
