S. H. SHAFFNER.
A Rf.veuhndHouseThief. —The
csdnle Democrat gives us the following ,
account of the conviction of a “prcachin
chap” who thought that Jordan was a
hard rood to travel, and that lie had bet
ter provide himself with easy means of
transit: ..
Conviction of Rev. Mn. Mole.—We
stated some weeks ngo that Rev. John
Mole, a Presbyterian minister who for.
merly taught school in this borough had
been arrested in Duchess county, N. Y.,
for honse stealing. His trial came on at
Poughkeepsie a fortnight ago. R appear
ed that ho had stolen as many us six
horses, and nearly dh many wagons and
harnesses. On tho part dl tho defence on
attempt was made to prove that the lar
cenies were the result of insanity, but it
did not succeed, for the jury returned a'
verdict of guilty. We have not heard
what the sentence of ihe Court was.
Mr. Mole was formerly from Orange
county, N. Yv, where he Is respctably con
nected. His wife is in eVcry respect a
very superior woman, and his family con
sists of eight Interesting children, who
have been carefully and excellently train
ed by their mother; The two oldest of
them w.t;rc on tho stand as witnesses nt
the and there appearance commend
ed them in a most touching manner to tho
sympathies of all the spectators.
Future HoosßKsci'fia's. —Wo some
times catch oursolves wondering how
many of the young ladies whom wo meet
with are to perform the part of housekeep
ers when the young men who now eye
them so admiringly have persuuded them
to hccofne their wives.:
Wo listen to those young ladies of whom
wo speak, nnd hear them not only nc
| knowledging but boasting of their, ignor
ance of nil house-work duties, as ir noth
j ing would eo lower .them in the esteem
of their friends as tho confession of nn a-
I bilily to bake', bread and.pies, or cook a
(piece of meat; or disposition to engage
jin nny useful employment. Speaking
from our own youthful recollection, we
are frOc to say that taper fingers nnd lilly
' white hands are . very pretty to look nt
with a voung man’s eyes, and sometimes
we have, known tho artless innocence ol
practical knowledge displayed by a young
Miss to dppear rather interesting than
otherwise. But we have lived long enough
to learn that life is full of rugged expert
cnees, and that, the most loving romantic
' and doliente peoplemust live on cooked or
’ olherwiso prepared food and in homes
1 kept clean nnd tidy by industrious hands
’• And for all practical purposes ol married
life, it is generally found that for tho hus
band to Bit and gaze at h wife’ll; tapor
fingers and lilly hands,'or for to sit
and bo lboked at and admired, does not
make tho pot boil or- put the smallest piece
of footl ih the pot.

“Major; I understand that you visited

how did you like the jaunt ?”
“Capitally ! I had not been in London
five hours before Rex sent for me to play
whist With him, and a devil of a time wo

"Rex'? what Rex I”
"Why, Rex the the 111.
The game came o(T nt Windsor Cnstle

"How so?"

long ago.’ This of course riled me, and
to such n degree that I just drew back nnd
gave him a blow between the eyes, that
felled him like a bullock. Tho next mo
ment Pitt and Burke mounted me, and in
ten minutes my coat, shirt, and breeches,
were so torn and tattered that I looked
like Lazarus. This gave me a distaste
for English society, and on the next morn

person I met after entering the city
was Q,.”

Ttio Democracy of Armstrong -.JPptJDtyp
meet in Kittanning, on the 20ih . inst.il9
elect delegates to the Btn of March Con
vention. The Democrat, alluding to.;tho.
fact atid to the question of next Governor,
so vs :
It id true that n few rnnlcoDtcnls, iti va
rious portions of tho Slate, from some .in-'
terested motive, have raised tho cry of bp,
position to the'.rcnominrtlidij,'of governor ,
Bigler, but it; will ha v6‘ little qfibet upon ,
the main issue of the puestipn. Therof
have been insinuations' of tlip most
and cowardly character made against thp,
Executive 1 , and those udder, lii.s immedi.j,
ate surveillance, for the avowed ptirposo
of forestalling political opinion in the De
mocratic ranks, against otib of the most
efficient and energetic men who ever filled
tho gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania,,
but they will most assuredly recoil iiponi
them to their confusion and shume, , fhp
past conduct ol tho Governor is a sure
guaranty that his future cateer may bo
looked upon with a feeling of reliance apd .
sincoritv, and that aside Iromall partizau
predilections, he will strive,to. conform
strictly tothc first chrdinnl principle of the
Democratic Creed, by urging npon thO_
Legislative body such suggestions as may
bo best calculated to produce the greatest
amount of good to the mass of tho citizens
of the Sinte; He needs no defence against
the servile attacks to which he has been
subjected; his straight forward, manly
and dignified deportment being a sufficient
rebuke to all who may have the temerity
to .utter insinuations void of foundation.— 1
Hoistands now where he libs ajwuy'sstodich
since lie assumed the responsiblity of ad
ministering the Government affairs of tho
State, uponthe firm and unshaken platform
of Democra'ic principles, and there the
Democracv of the Staio may always rely
upon finding him, despite the croakings
of disorganize rs.
