'WREN DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES CEASE TO LEAD, WE CEASE TO FOLLOW." W/111: IL BRESLIN, Editor and Proprietor LEBANON, PA. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1550. f* - The opposition party are unfor fortunate in their selection of cancli dates for office. • They last fall elected 'Wm. E. Frazer Canal Commissioner, and, according to the Courier, he proved himself a scamp, although in of fice but a few days. We know not what truth there may be in the charges against Mr. Frazer, but this we do know that most of the men elected to office, state and national, in the last twenty years, by the . opposition, have been 'forsaker! and denounced by the party which elec . ;fed them. Whether they proved incom petent or dishonest, or simply failed in making Subservient to party their coun try and-oath of office, is not to be dis .cussed-here ; but the fact stands on re cord, that• Tyler, Cooper, Pollock, rill- More, and now Frazer., had hardly tak en the seats to which they . were elected before they got into regular Kilkenny cat-fightiwitlitheir friends. The secret probably Ilea in the fact, that in the se lection of candidates the opposition "took - to availability alone, and after they -have ,eleeted them, the article is not what it was supposed to be.

It is a five on tlm Easton Bank, at Easton, in this State, and nearly a fac simile of the genuine. All the devices are the same as the true note 011 e shaded bars across the s's on the corners are well defined on the good ,i,tbte, but they are imperfect on.the noun feifeit, and a black line appears also that 'knot on the genuine.—The ink with which the note is printed is rather light er colored than it is on the good notes.

The Lost Balloonist.--. Thurston's Body Found. (From the Clevelekul Leeder, 9th inet.l It will be recollected that on the 16th Septeml er last, Mr. Ira •J. Thurston made an unexpected balloon ascension from the vicinity of Adrian, M,ichigan, that the balloon was some days after found in the vicinity of St. Clair- river, but the fate of the poor aeronaut re maimed involved in tnystery, though ex tensive search was made for his body, and the lights of Spiritualism were in-_ yoked. Some of the pretended spirit revelations were that Thurston reached the earth alive, and was then in a near ly inaccessible 'hut in . the St. Clair marshes; and the latest was that the ex act locality of his body had been found, that the force of the,fall had , buried it deep in the soft - marsh—that a pole thrust down had brought up hair from the , head of the unfortunate man; that the_ water and soft earth , had filled the bole.so rapidly that an excavation to the'body could not be. i ."

Mr. Thurston's case was a singular and a sad one, and excited much inter est. He had made a successful ascen sion with Mr. Bannister, and while se curing the balloon after deeendina, and removing the ear. it suddenly rose while Mr. Thurston was upon it, and rapidly disappeared : As - it rose, lac. T. clung to the 'portion on Which he was seated, and remarked to Mr. 1.3. that would soon erMie down again. The balloon was afterwards discovered at a great .height, and, as it; -approached the earth, some persons fanCied they discovered an object still eEnging On Saturday afternoon, a son of Mr. Hoag was searching in a piece of woods for some kit sheep., on the farm of Mr. Salmon Miner, situated on the Indiana road, about six or seven miles from this city, In his search he penetrated a thicket of hrushwood on a knoll stir rounded. by wet land,- and there, at the fact of a large oak tree, he .discovered articles ef..clothing, bones, &c., which satisfied him that a dismembered human body, had .decayed,, and-portions of it eaten there by animals. It- was near dark, and the boy returned With all speed to the house with the news; but-was too late to prosecute the examination forth. er that night, and it was postponed till morning. It was then remembered that one of the boys, about twelve years of age, had, on the 16th of September last, at just about the.time that the . balloon should have passed over the spot, seen something fall in the piece of woods.— His attention was attracted by a . pecu liar whistling noise, as of some large bird passing over,-and looked up in time to see something fall among the trees.— He thought it must have :been a paper balloon, .and started - after it ; bet after going a part ,of the way, he returned to , the house andlried to get an elderbroth er. to go with him to the woods after - the paper balloon. He was laughed - at for wanting to go so: far after a bit of paper, "and finally gave it up. It now seems that a neighbor's boy saw the balloon pass over at-the same time, at a- great height, and-supposed it to be a kite, but haVing. doubts ;ibOut asked the fami ly ‘.how high a kite could fly 7" descri bing at the same time the object he had 011 yesterday morning the neighbors were called, and a party proceeded to the spot where ihe boy had found the re mains. The spot is-about 50 or 60 rods south of the Indiana : Road, on Mr. Mi ner's-farm, about half way between the houses of Hoag and Miner. There were portions of a human body, without doubt, scattered around near the tree above mentioned.. Close by - the tree, .and imbedded in the earth, was found the jaw bone,-:broken,-and matted hair partly .in the earth. - About two rods from the tree was found one of the boots of the person, containing a foot nearly perfect, but much decomposed, and' a portion of the shin bone with flesh ad. .tiering to it. The hoot had been gna*- ed, and evidently the flesh had been eat en by hogs or wild animals. The other boot, was nearby. Portions of the spine .were also found scattered about, and sev. era! of the nails, teeth, .&c., and parts of the skull were lying near. The clothes were, however, the means of identifying the body ; they being not so much de stroyed, but that their texture could be discovered. The: pants were of a small check or plaid pattern. The shirt was considerably rotted: The coat seemed ,to be sduff colored, and a black silk hand kerchief was found, tied as it was on the neck. In the pockets of the clothing were found a silver. Lepine watch, jack-knife, and a buckskin purse con taining 81 36 in money. A pair of gloves were blond in one of the coat pockets, and in..anothera letter and sett. era! 'cardS:':The -letter, after drying, was readable„ and was found to be di rected to Mr, Thurston, It was from a Philadelphia in reply to some in quiries he had made 'about silk for a balloon. From the cards, letters, and mernori alS, it is rendered, if not certain, ex • tremely probable, that the body there scattered about Was that of 'Mr. The s ton-lash seen near Knight's Station, on - the 16th 'of September lass, when carried away by the escaped balloon— dashe.d to pieces, and those pieces, gnaw ed by animals in that secluded thicket. It. will be remembered that Mr. Thurs. ton was seated on the valve, clasping the silk with hi.s arms when lastseen. When the balloon was frinind at West Tilbury, Canada, the disc of l the valve was torn off three fourths of the way around. When at the great height at which the little boy thought that immense balloon was a kite, almost out of sight, the silk around the valve lank have given way, precipita lino. Thurston to the earth.

A NEW SYSTEM OF hiSITRANCE. — They have a sort of honest insurance system in England, which might be 'introduc ed into our country with profit to all concerned. A corporate company is organized, who make it their business to guarantee the integrity of any clerk which they recommend, the clerk pay ing a premium, and the company issu ing bonds to secure employer against loss. Under this arrangement the com pany keep a strict watch on the clerk's private acts in the same manner that an insurance inspector looks after combus tible material in the insurance of prop erty. By this means the employer is relieved of the duty of tracing the pri vate habits and conduct of the em ployee, leaving it to the party who is, no doubt, more thorough in his supervi• sion.

FTDI3I the Cincinnati Gazette, March sth A W oman Shoots herself in' the presence of her Hb.sboaid A suicide, under remarkable circum. stances, took place in this city, about six o'clock - last "evenirigi. The' history of the matter appears to be about as follows ; For . a considerable time past a Hun garian named Emanuel Gerrard, who keeps a cigar store` at No. 620 Vine street, opposite Green, had suspected his Wife-of an improper intimacy with a - German physician, (whose name it may not be proper to give,) and had ac cused her, from time to time, of mak ing and keeping asSignationa with him. The familiar intercourse of the two was made the subject of neighborhood gos• sip, and had been industriously report ed to the husband. The Doctor had been in the habit of visiting the store two or three times every (lay, and the husband had warned him that he must cease his attentions, and he had not tnade his appearance in the store since last Tuesday. Some time last week a letter written by the wife to the Doctor, making an appointenent to meet him at the Post office on Sunday last, fell into the hands of husband, aad:l - T:his;Frequest. an ap prentice in his employ, named Jacob Goebel, witnessed the meeting, and fol lowed-the parties about the street, un til the return of the wife to her resi dence. They (lid not stop at any place of resort, but walked and talked for an hour or two. Yesterday evening the husband and the apprentice were sitting at a table in the cigar store, engaged in manufactur ing, the wife occupying a chair between them, when Gerrard accused hiPwife of adultery. An 'angry dispute followed, in which both became very much exci ted, and used harsh language, which continued for some lime. Mrs. Gerrard finally arose from her seat, and passing, behind the counter, took down a loaded pistol hanging up on a nail, and walked hack near her 'husband, placed the muzzle to her right temple, and literally blew the top of her head - of/ Her 'brains were scattered in every direction—over her hnsb,andl the Show-case of cigars and table, and the shelves . and boxes in the store! Of course instant death followed. It appears that Mrs. Gerrard and her husband, before coming to this country, occupied a very good social - position, and the wife was descended from a no. ble Hungarian family. They were both very quiet, orderly persons.

Mr. Gerrard is perhaps thirty•six years of age, and his wife was about twenty-eight. The suicide caused an intense excitement in the vicinity, and thousands of persons collected at the locality of the tragedy, many remaining until a late hour last night, discussing the various rumors in connection with the affair. The Coroner's Jury return ed a verdict that she came to the death by her own hand. The Enquirer's account says that Mrs. Gerrard's name was Ludwiga.-- 'She was a young and beautiful woman, also of Hungarian extraction, and said to belong to the order of noblesse in her native country. She was much ad mired for her mental culture, elegance of manners and brilliancy of conversa tion, and those combined with a lovely person, rendered her the attractive cen tre of a large circle of devoted friends.'
