J,-.,ha and China. —The details of the
j ;+e o! G>jv'ral confirm the report by
i':' e India anul of the 17th March, of the
,'ctory gained by Lord Gough. The
ijrjtish captured 53 of ttie 59 guns which
,' ;e Sikhs brought into action, together
with all their camp magazine, ammunition
£ C . The loss on the part of the British
ivas the officers and 92 men killed. The
uar of 'he Punjab is considered at an end.
The news from Hong Kong is to the 27th
of February . The dispute about opening
the citv gates at Canton was going on, but
ihere was a general confidence that the
stipulations of the treaty of Nankin would
he enforced.
lirssiA AND TURKEY. —The London
Tunes says the Emperor of Russia having
ascertained that th military preparations
gi.iiig forward in the Furki h empire were
undertaken at the instigation of Sir Strat
ford Canning, acting under orders from
London, despatched on the 28th of March
his Aide de-Camp, General Grabbe, to
Constantinople, with an ultimatum which
requires the immediate cessation of warlike
preparations in Turkey, as well as the
recall of the Ottoman troops assembled on
the Danube. It further requires the
Porte's acquiescence in the occupation of
the Principalities of Wallachia and Mol
davia by Rus-ia. Failing the acceptance
of these terms by the Divan, the Russian
M inister is to quit Constantinople, and the
Autocrat's troops, which are already in
Transylvania, are to advance on Constan
tinople, turning (not crossing) the Bateau.
The Russian fleet from Sevastopol is to
lend its cooperation.
INDICTABLE MUSIC.—At a recent term
of the court of Common Pleas in Darke
countv, Ohio, a number of individuals weie
indicted and found guilty of riot, for serena
ding a wedding party with instruments of
ntusic disagreeable to "ears polite." Judge j
Holt's charge to the jury, copied below
from the Greenville Banner, settles the
law of all such cases in that circuit, and
niav be interesting to some of our readers:
"The assemblage of three or four per- j
sons with bells, horns and fiie arms, and
with these to approach the bouse where a
family resides, rattling bells, blowing horns
and discharging fiie arms, especially in the
night season, calculated to alarm and terri
fv the inmates, is against the peace, and r •
oi us. Nor dues it change the character
of such transaction, that a wedding was
the occasion of it. Nor can it be justified on
tne ground that it WHS intended as a sere
rule, and was customary in the neighbor
hood were it was enacted. In this age of
progress, white progressing in physical
science and improvements of every kind,
we should see to it that we do not fail be
hind in the improvement of manners and
murals.
"Some of the witnesses have spoken of a
custom in that neighborhood to honor wed
dings with music of this kind. Such a cus
tom is illegal ; it belongs not to civilization,
and should not receive the sanction of a
cour*. and jury sitting in a civilized commu
nity. It has been said that
'Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. 1
" It must indeed be a savago breast
thai can be southed by the hideous sounds
of ccw hells, horse fiddles, rams' horns, and
like musical instruments, rattling, ringing,
and commingling together, end interspersed
with the occasional explosion of gunpow
der.
"Such serenades are unlawful and riot
ous. Such is the law. The jury will find
the defendants guilty or not guilty as they
understand the facts.

All Hind* of (f^raiai.
for which he will pay the CASH, IN PAR
FINDS, as high as the market will afford, accor
ding to its quality. Any person having good
Wheat will do well tocali and show a sample
of it, as he thinks he can afford to give more
than any other person in the place, the anil
being situated on the creek, where flour can
he loaded out of the mill into boats, and all ex
pense of hauling, storing, and shipping saved ;
besides, the flour is in better order, as the bar
rels are not injured by hauling and handling.
, If wheat brings a better price than it will af
ford to grind, he has the same ciiance of ship
ping it as any other, as the mill is the most
convenient storehouse in the place, and saves j
a great deal of lime ar.d labor in hoisting by
water power. OK, HE WILL RECEIVE ONSTOR- ,
Ac E, and forward to Philadelphia or Baltimore,
j and give the following receipt :
" Received, Jjewislmon Mills, of A. B ,
11 heat, to be kept in store till the first of Au
gust unless disposed of sooner/ 1
When the receipt is given the quality of the
wheat will be mentioned in it, so as to prevent
any trouble when the owner comes to sell.
Any person storing, having four hundred bush
els ami upwards, and desires it, it will be kept
in a garner by itself. Any person taking a re
ceipt, and not selling before, or giving notice
to keep it, till after the first of August, it will
be carried out to their credit at the market
price on that day. If shipped, or sold to anv
person that does not get it ground in the mill,
TWO cents per bushel storage will be charged.
If they give notice, and keep it over after the

THE
GOLD MINES
CALIFORNIA!!
r'gMlE excitement produced by the discove-
JL rv of the Gold Regions has carried off'a
large number of our citizens, who will, it is to
be hoped, reap a rich reward from Sacramen
to's Golden mud. We had almost determined
to go along with the crowd, but after mature
deliberation as to the consequences of leaving
Lewistown without a Store where cheap goods
could be bought, we concluded that the inter
ests of our friends demanded that we should
remain, and we have accordingly determined
to make the sacririce. There will, therefore,
be no need for any one to so to California to
get rich, as our store will afford a splendid op
portunity for acquiring gold and silver in abun
dance, in the shape of cheap goods—so low,
that a picayune is worth more here than an
ounce of gold in the Sacramento Valley with
flour at §1U0 per barrel, other things in pro
portion, and not to be had at that. We there
fore invite all our old customers (whose name
is "legion,") and ten thousand new ones to
give us a call as soon as they read this notice,
so that they may have an early choice frcm the
Tremendous Piles
of goods of all descriptions we are now placing
on our counters, on shelves, under the coun
ters, in drawers, in the store-rooms, in the cel
lars, garrets, ware houses, custom houses, et
cetera, and so foitb, lest they disappear as
quickly as they came.
Jt is hardly worth while to enumerate a few
articles where there ere so many —we there
fore only say that there are lots of
Clot/is, Cassimeres 4* Sattin'ts,
from Great Britain. France, Germany, and the
United Slates, embracing all prices from 37$
cents a vard to ;
8 ii A \r s.s,
from India's coral strand and the vales of Cash
mere ; SILKS t rem Italy;
Plaids from Scotland:
Ll\ E N S
from Ire'and; HANDKERCHIEFS from
Australasia and Polynesia;
FINE MUSLINS
from the ice-bound hills of Switzerland;
CAPES, Collars, Edgings, Insertings,
Laces, s*c.. 4* c *
from Greece, Turkey, and Egypt ;
liiSlillAMS
from here, there, and everywhere, and thou
sands of yards of CALICOES from all cre
ation.
In sit other matters, from a row of Pins to
a hogshead of Sugar, we more than hold our
own, ns any one can test by calling. We've
got all in the Grocery line that anybody else
M:IS — us good as (he best —AS CHEAP AS THE
CHEAPEST, and perhaps A LITTLE CHEAP
ER. As "seeing is believing," and we don't
ask people to put on n pair of green specs to
make them believe that a barrel of shavings is
a barrel ot green grass, like the vankee pedlar
did his horse, just walk in and judge for your
selves—and you'll say, as everybody else does,
that the place for good goods and cheap goods,
is N USB AU M, BRUT HERS.
