Completion of Volume 111.
The present number of the Gazette completes
three years since we came into possession of the
office. During that time we have endeavored
so to conduct it as to make the paper a source
of useful information to our country friends,
having in all cases, when pressed for room by
an extensive advertising patronage, given the
preference to NEWS over light reading. This
may have made the Gazette less interesting to
our town readers than it might otherwise have
been, but the tone of approval accorded from
all parts of the county assures us that we pur
sued the proper course.
Since the adoption of our system of receiving
no new subscribers without payment of a year s
subscription in advance, and striking from oui i
list a large number who probably never intended
to pay, we have found it works so well that we i
shall adhere to it as rigidly as ever.
We *uve a considerable amount of money ,
standing on our books for advertising and job .
work—all of which ought long since to have
been paid. Will those who know themselves
indebted see to the liquidation of these accounts r
As to the future, we have but little to say. j
Our past course indicates what it will be ; and
if improvement in type or enlargement of the
paper be called for, it can only be accomplished
by prompt payment of all dues, whether sub
scription, advertising, or job work. We have
enough outstanding to pay for making material !
improvements, but we unhesitatingly say that
we shall never go into debt to make them.
Five Irishmen were arrested at this place a
few days since, charged with having committed
a rape in Jnniata county.
Another prisoner in our jail gave leg-bail to
the keeper on Wednesday morning. We begin
to think that the concern had better be shut up, j
and the county saved the expenses incident to
a building ol the kind.
The Hollidaysburg Register has put on a new
dress, in which we hope it will attract lots of
beaux and btlles in the shape of subscribers and ;
advertisers.
Miss FILLMORE, a daughter of the Vice Presi
dent of the United States, recently received an
appointment as teacher in one of the public
schools of Buffalo, and is now acting in that ca- j
pacity. How striking an illustration of the j
simplicity of our Republican institutions! —the
lather the second officer of the greatest re
public on earth, and the daughter a teacher in
a public school ! Miss Fillmore received her
education at the State Normal school.
COURT or INQUIRY. —A Military Court of In
quiry, consisting of Major General R. C. Hale,
of Lewistown, Gen. Jas. G. Reed, of Gettys
burg, and Gen. Samuel D Karns, of Harris
burg, met in Bloom Geld on Thursday afternoon,
the 11th instant. The object *of the Court, the
Freeman says, was to inquire into the legality
of the votes cast for Major General of the Divi
sion composed of the counties of Perry, Cum
berland and Franklin —exceptions having been
taken to the issuing of the commission to Gen.
Fetter by the friends of Major Biddle. The
Court adjourned on Friday evening, to meet in
Harrisburg on the second Monday of January
next.
Notices of Advertisements.
Our business men, and others, are referred
to the advertisements of Messrs. CRAIG & BEL
LAS, Agents for the Pennsylvania Railroad
end Commission Merchants. It will be seen
that they offer material advantages for the
transportation of freight, no charge being made
for receiving or forwarding goods, while pro
duce, <fcc., consigned to them as Commission
Merchants, will not be subject to porterage or
storage. A city paper speaks of them in the
toi lowing complimentary manner:
The Ventral Railroad. —We invite atten
t on to the advertisement, of Craig & Bellas,
who state the rates at which they will trans
om'. freight from this point to l/cwistown, via
the Pennsylvania railroad, and thence to any
point south or west. These genllemon are
thoroughly exnnnenced in the business of
transi ortmg, and orders left with them will re
ceive the promptest attention and utrnoet de
spatch. Their storage establishment is one ol
the most capacious in this city, so that what
ever consignment is made to their care is sure
of being wall protected, if any unforeseen ac
acc. dent should delay its immediate despatch.
We have si often referred to the Railroad
as a rneuium for cheap and rapid transportation,
that it is not necessary here to repeat the ad
vantages it offers through the above House.
Meters. HICKOK &. BARRETT, of fJarnsburg,
invite attention to their extensive stock ot
Blank Books, S'.a* onery, &c. As Bookbind
ers and manufacturers ot B<auk Books we can
recommend them r.s equal to any in the State,
•*-hi!e their prices, compared with city work of
a similar quality, are extremely low. Mr.
• alters, editor of the '1 rue Democrat, is their
cgent here, and will attend to forwarding
books, &c. for binding, or procure blank books
and stationery of any kind desired.
NISBAUM, BROTHERS, have again returned
city with an extensive assortment of
new goods.
The Commissioners of the Union Hal! Com
pany will meet en tbe UtM mat.

The above paragraph, which appeared in our ,
| columns while the Gazette was in charge of one ;
j of our hands, is seized upon by our neighbor of
; the True Democrat with more than ordinary
1 relish, and he cxußingly refers to '1 ennessee,
Indiana, lowa, North Carolina, Connecticut, ;
Virginia, Texas, Kentucky, Maryland, Georgia
anil Pennsylvania, and then avows that he will
he satisfied " to continue tottering alter the same
' fashion."
There was a time within "the recollection of
even young men, when the self-styled democrat
ic party, professing to stand upon principle, re
fused to amalgamate with any faction, but how
stands the case in most of the States referred to!
In the south that party panders to the slavehold
ing interest, even while it threatens to dissolve
the Unioii; in Connecticut it boldly coalesced
with the abolitionists ; in Vermont it did the
same, but failed to succeed ; in Ohio it entered
into a coalition with free soilers, both selling
themselves like sheep in the shambles; in New
Vork the several factions have united—not on
principle. for there they dither wide as the poles—
; hut, as was openly avowed, for the sake of
I plunder; and in our own State we have even
seen them making advances towards a reconcil
iation with the "church burners," as our loco
; I
foco friends used to delight in designating the
' natives! We might refer to other instances,
I hut these are sufficient to show that, notwith
standing its apparent success, modern " Democ
racy" is in a more tottering condition than its ad- j
vocatcs are perhaps willing to allow, when it |
i has thus to seek "unholy alliances" with any
and everything that is willing to bargain and
intrigue with it to prevent an inglorious defeat.
Apathy and supiucuess on the part of the
whigs may give it temporary triumphs in State
elections, but so long as the whigs nominate a
good man for President, w hose name and fame
can arouse them from their lethargy, we ven
ture to say that no northern man with southern
principles, or southern man in favor of extend
ing slavery, will liil the Presidential chair.
A bitter controversy has been going on for
some time past among the colored Daughters of
'Temperance at Harrisburg. In a recent reply
issued by one of the parties, James McCrum
mel, the founder of the order, is styled a male
Daughter of Temperance
WoraoiD WHILE DEPREDATING. Several
thefts having been committed in the workshop of
: Mr. Albert&on, a resident of Kowandtown,
Camden eo., New Jersey, a number of buys
contrived to place an old musket so that it
would shoot the intruder if he again attempted
his thefts. In the night the gun was discharged,
and a young man w ho has alw ays been esteemed
and respected, received the eharge in his face,
mutilating him in a dreadful manner. As -oon
as he was wounded he attempt! d to staunch the
blood with a piece of cloth, and after much
trouble, at last succeeded in reaching the barn,
and hid himself in the hay. lie. was finally dis
covered and arrested, and is now conhned in
Camden jail.
EXPLOUOS*. —The Hoilidaysburg Standard , of
Oct. 10, says: One of the boilers at the bead
of Plane No. 10 blew up on Saturday morning
last, scalding Mr. J. Funk severely, and throw
ing him about three rods. One of Mr. Leech's
carmen, a dutchman, was also badly scalded,
and the assistant engineer was thrown from the
door on to the track.
The bursted boiler was thrown one-third
way down the Plane, and the others raised
completely out of their beds. The stack was
blown to atoms, the shed blown and burnt up,
and the red of the building saved with great
j difficulty. No cause can be assigned for the ex
plosion. The passenger car was hitched to the
rope at the foot ready to ascend, and while the
engineer was watching for the usual signal to
let on the steam, the explosion occurred. Had
the car been at the head instead of the foot,
there is no telling the loss of life which might
have resulted from the falling of the stack and
shed.
A WUVDKR iv CALIFORNIA. —One who has just
returned from the " F.l Dorado," says that a
gentleman rather dundily dressed, and having
white kid glares on his hands, appeared a few
months since in the streets of San Francisco,
and made a prodigous "sensation." The white
kids were the first that had been seen there,
and at once attracted the attention and excited
the curiosity of even the busy gold diggers. A
crowd soon gathered around the man in gloves,
and expresst d their determination to dispose of
liim by raffle, as being the greatest curiosity in
the country!
NEW JERSEY RAILROADS —There is much ex
citement in New Jersey, on the subject of the
monopoly of railroads and canals, which the
Legislature of that State granted to certain
companies some years ago. The conditions of
their charters were, if they (the companies)
would pay to the State the interest on $200,000
worth of stock, and transit duties on all passen
gers and freight, the State would guarantee to
the companies, that no road should be made
through it, to compete with their road. The
Legislatures of 1835, '36 and '37 rc-aflirmed the
contract. The transit duties now paid to the
State amount to about SBO,OOO.
An effort is making to set aside these con
tracts as unjust and unconstitutional, in the
New York and Philadelphia papers an appeal is
published by Commodore Stockton, in relation
to the joint companies of the Camden and Am
boy Railroad and the Delaware and Raritau
Canal Company, in which he states that he in
vested the whoie of his fortune, amounting to
$400,U00, in these companies, under the con
tract with the State of New Jersey, and com
plains of the efforts to induce the State to repu
diate their contract.
As Commodore Stockton is a good locofoco,
be ought net to complain when a practical illus
tiation is given liiin of locofoco doctrines re- |
specting monopolies.

The European Times contains reports of the

By fir the most important political news by 1
this arrival, is the possible and even probable
rupture of Russia and Austria with Turkey. It

Roman difficulty, as well as all other matters of

i The most recent accounts from Constantino

Porte for the surrender of Kossuth, Rem and
other patriots, who played a prominent part in
the late Hungarian struggle, and who have
sought refuge at Widde.n, on the Danube, in the
territories of the Sultan.
The Turkish government, with a manliness
which cannot l.e too highly commended, refused

A unit ESS OF THE PEOM.E OF CANAPE IN FAVOR
OF ANNEXATION TO THE UNITED STATES. —The
people of Montreal favorable to the annexation
of Canada to the United Stales, have issued an
I address in favor of that project. The address
is of considerable length, and brings up for
brief discussion various remedies which have
; been proposed for the amelioration of the pres
ent depressed and suffering condition of Cana
dian commerce and industry. After pronounc
ing upon the inefficiency of those remedies to
! give to Canada permanent prosperity and social
harmony, the address declares there is but one
i remedy, of all suggested, which deserves xeri
! ous consideration, but one to which the Canadi
an people can look with confidence as calculated
to promote the best interests of their country,
develope its commercial and industrial resourc
es, and terminate those party animosities, jeal
ousies, strivings ami scenes of bloodshed which
, disquiet and degrade its present social system.
This final remedy consists in a friendly and
peaceable 'titration from ISriti'h connexion, and
a union upon equitable terms trilh the great *\"orth
.Jnvrican Confederacy nf Sovereign States. " W ith
oiit the consent of Great Britain, separation is
considered neither practicable nor desirable. Rut
the colonial poiicy of the present State, and the
avow aL of her leading statesmen, leave them no
longer room to dcubt that it is thejresolv e of
England to invest them with the attributes, and
1 to compel them to assume the burdens of inde
j pencil nee, and they declare that it is weakness
m them not to provide again-t such intentions.
Then* are no harsh recriminations against Eng
land, peaceful consummation of the object is
alone sought. This temperate and considerate
address is signed by 325 names, among whom
are Renj. Holmes, formerly Cashier of the
Monteral Rank, now in Parliament, and J. G.
McKcnsie, the leading Tory. Fifty are Liber
als and the rest l ories.

the Great Salt Lake, unknown ten years ago,
arc thus defined :
Commencing at the 33 deg. north latitude,
where it crosses the 108 ileg. longitude, west of
Greenwich; thence running south and west to
the northern boundary of Mexico ; thence west
to and down the mam channel of the Gila Ri
ver, on the northern line of Mexico, and on the
northern boundary of Lower California to the
Pacific Ocean; thence along the coast north
westerly to the 118 deg. 30 tnin. of west longi
tude ; thence north to where said line intersects
the dividing ridge of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains ; tiience north along the summit of the Si
erra Nevada mountains to the dividing range of
mountains that separate the waters ffowing into
the Columbia River from the. waters running
into the Great Basin; thence easterly along the
dividing range of mountains that separate said
waters (lowing into the Columbia River on the
north, from the waters (lowing into the Great
Basin on the south, to the summit of the Wind
River chain of these mountains; thence south
east and south bv the dividing range of moun
tains that separate the waters (lowing into the
Gulf of Mexico, from the waters flowing into
the Gulf of California, to the place of beginning,

AFFAIRS IN MINESOTA. —The St. Paul Chron
icle and Register, of September 22, gives vari
! ous correspondents sundry information in re- j
gard to Minesota and its capabilities. We copy
a portion of its remarks :
" Minesota is a good country. All it wants
is improvement. Nature has done her part
; well, and we know of no place where a man
can do better with the same labor and means
Capital can be invested profitably in various
ways. The farming business we think the
at present, as we have yet but few farmers, and
produce is high. This state of things-must con
tinue for some time to come, as the increased
demand will keep pace with the supply. There
is no richer soil in the world, nor a country bet
ter adapted to all kinds of farming than the
" Prairie" between here and Point Douglass.
"The winters are long, it is true, but the
ground is invariably covered with snow, six or
j eight inches deep, from December until .March.
; It is cold, but dry, and good sleighing during
j the winter. Very little mud at any time, as
the soil is composed of loam and black sand.
There is less wind than in Illinois during the
winter; and all those who have been here dur
ing the winter prefer it to a more southern lati-
I tude, w here the weather is more variable.
"Mechanics of almost all kinds are wanted,
especially house builders. Enterprising arti
zans of small means could acquire property arid
grow up with the country. The lumber busi
ness is becoming one of great importance ; it
! might now be profitably extended, and still
. mure as the population increases. With regard
to mercantile pursuits, we think the prospect
! not equal to many other avocations, the capital
now employed being equal to the demand ; but
as numbers increase, so will the demand for
merchandise
it" I">>l* :* R 111 I) 11' ID.—l.<t no foolish per

j use the Hrandreth's fill*,and rely upon it, that ibe pain
i will go, the body wit! be restored to health as soon as na
| ture has received sufficient ASSISTANCE from their effect.
The quantity of impure humors discharged from the
j body by the action of the Brandreth'n Pill", is replaced in
the course of .1 few hours with new and pure blood, by
the digestion of a moderate meal. By purging the body
with ibis medicine the whole mass of blood become* en
' lirely purified and rezeoersted.
That the blood is the life of the body, I presume is un
j disputed, therefore 1 shall say that it being the SEAT or
j I. IFE, it must also be the seat of disease. If disease he in
i the Mood, we should abstract the disease only, not the
I Mood It is the impurities which must be removed by
• purgation to secure our health, in all states of the weatner,
{ in all situations, and in all climates. The blood, like a
good spuit, is always trying to benefit the body by i's
struggles to expel impurities. But it is not capable to ef
fe< t its own purification at all times : to do litis it must
■ often have assistance. When the blood is loaded with im
purities, especially in this climate, the consequences may
be fatal, provided the blood is not purified at once, and
this is sure to be effected if Bratidreth's Pills are used.
