PIRE. —Roach's Barber Shop in Mar
ket street was discovered to be on tire on
Monday morning, but before the tlames
spread w as subdued with but little damage
to the building. It probably originated j
from the sparks emitted in kindling a coal
tire.
GAME.—Several bears have been seen;
within tire limits of our county during the
past month, one within three or four miles
of Lewistown, and wild turkeys are said ,
to be abundant along Jack's and Shade
Mountains. Deer too are represented as
numerous in parts oi this and the adjoining
counties—all which afford a tine field for
sportsmen to exercise their skill with the
rifle.
Rev. J. KITHRAUFF, late Castor ol the

A successful experiment has been made
with the semi-bituminous coal of the Dau

Central Railroad Depots at that place. '
A public meeting has been held in the
Court House on the subject, and 31 iOO
subscribed.

n The large HOTEL at the Railroad I ;
Depot opposite this place, will soon be
completed. It is now under roof, being 1
covered with a beautiful article of slate,
obtained at or near Pe.arhbottom in York
county. The Hotel is intended for the
accommodation of railroad travellers, and
is the property of Messrs Brass and

The stone bridge over Kishacoquiila*

our Borough authorities, who have made
unusual exertions during the present c ear
to put our public thoroughfares in good

which is in very bad order.
Delaware City Bank,
We noticed, some weeks since, in terms
ct comdetnnation that this institution had
an unusual number of notes in circulation
■along the Juniata, and also the attack
caade upon it by a New Jersey paper,
(since fully retracted) in which it was rep
resented as a swindling concern, likely to
tail at some moment roost convenient to '•
those interested. In our advertising eol
urns of to-day will be found a card from a
number of gentlemen owning nine-tenths
oi the stock, who arc represented to us as
men ol wealth, arid who are individually
liable for all its issues. Undf r the head of
Markets, Money Matters, will also be
be found an extract of a letter from a gen
tleman in Philadelphia to another in this
county, which gives sundry reasons wiiy
the notes issued I>\ this institution should
be entitled to favor at the hands of the
public, and ascribes hostility to it on the
p...t of others. We leave our readers
to form their own deductions respecting
these statements, vouching only that they
come from a source entitled to full credit.
We should rather, for our part, that the
notes of all foreign banks under five dol
lars fhuuld be excluded from circulation,
and our own relief notes or gold and silver
substituted in their place, as the present
circulation is composed of a heteroge
nous mass from which it is difficult to sep
arate the good from the bad.
HCCTIXI OF fOY CRESS.
The " long session"' of the XXXlst j
Congress will commence in one week from
next Monday. From a list of members
published in the New Vork Tribune,
classed according to their known political
; feelings, parties will stand 112 Whigs and
lib Locofocos, without including Messrs.
Allen of Massachusetts, and Giddings and
' Root of Ohio, about whom there are doubts
as to which way they will lean. The
first work of the session, says the Reading
1 Journal, will be to elect a Speaker, ft is
! generally conceded that Mr, Winthrop of
■ Massachusetts —the Speaker ot the last
ffous< —w ho has " won golden opinions
j from all sorts of people*' by his ability,
courtesy, and impartiality, will again be
the Whig Candidate. Thus far at least
we have seen no other one named for the :
office on the Whig side. The candidates !
of LoeofoeoDm are '• Legion" embracing
every variety and shade of opinion in the
pie-bald ranks of " Democracy," whose
only common tie now is. in the language
of the Washington Fnion, to "oppose the
Administration to the bitter end." The
ultra Slavery Locofocos, it is presumed,
will not go for a " Free Soil Democrat,"
and the " Free Soilers" dare not support
one of the Calhoun stamp. Mr. Cobb of
Georgia is the most prominent nominee of
the Locofocos, but even he, we are told,
is embarrassed with certain sins of omis
sion and commission which would seem
to preclude the probability of his election.
He omitted to sign the Calhoun address—
the test of Southern fidelity—and there
fore is not acceptable to the South Caroli
na delegation. On the other hand, he op
posed the anti-slavery proviso in all its
stages ami forms, and therefore cannot be
acceptable to Mr. Wilmot and the North
ern members, who profess to regard tin
support of that principle as a preliminary
requisite for their favor. These same dif
ficulties apply to almost every other pro
minent aspirant in the party, and would
embarrass an election, even with an ascer
tained and decided majority.
It is very probable that the "mixed up"
complexion of the House will prevent an
organization for some days, and very much
impede the progress of the legitimate bus
iness of the Session. In the Senate where
the Loeofoeo majority is decided, the op
position w ill no doubt try to " head" the
administration by r<jeciuuf us nominees to
office, liLit " Uld Zack ha* been in a
good many tight places rs tore now, and
came out of all of them in fiving colors,
and so it will be again. His motto is
•• never to surrender," and it is only when
most pressed that he is found most dan
gerous to his enemies.
Hy the way, it is now pretty generally
admitted that the forthcoming Mess: ore of
the President, ami Report from the Trea- \
sury department, will recommend a fhor- '
ough change of the existing Tariff of 18-10
from ad valorem to specific duties—if it i
does not go farther and urge its repeal al
together. This is precisely what the
Whigs were taught to hope and believe. :
Indeed, so far as the policy of this admin
istration has her u developed, it ha*- Is <ri
found orthodox on all tin hading Wing
measures. Those who voted for Taylor
and axaiu.it Free Trade are not doomed
to be cheated as were the supporters of
•• Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of 1842," in
the memorable campaign of 'lf. Old
Zack promised nothing and i willing to
concede ail his friends ask—Polk was
made to promise everything through King
Kane letters and unscrupulous stump ora
tors and partisan newspapers, but when it
: came to the test, it was soon found that
he meant to perform nothing.
i
THE RKM*LT of the election in New
York his been a singular one. In all the
State officers there is an equal division be
tween the two parties. Tin: following are
elected : Whig a —Controller, Washing
ton Hunt; Secretary of State, Christopher
Morgan; Treasurer, Alvah Hunt; State
Hngineer, HczekiahC. Seymor—total, I.
Locos —Judge Court of Appeals, Freeborn
G. Jewett ; Attorney General, Levi S.
: Chatheld ; Canal Commissioner, Freder
, ick Follet; State Prison Inspector, Darius
('lark—total 4. Judges of the Supreme
I Court—Whigs—William .Mitchell, Daniel
Cady, i homas A. Johnson, James C.
I Hoyt; Locos —John W, Brown, Henry
Hogeboom, Frederick W. Hubbard, Win.
H. Shankland.
Irt the Senate the whigs have two ma
jority—and in the House the locofocos
have two—making a tie on joint ballot.
The whigs however have the best State
offices, those elected being members of the
canal board, which gives them the control
ot the public works.
I he annual meeting of thr stockholders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company

A Route ot Travel.
The Democratic Union states that a
comfortable and convenient line of travel
has been established from Pottsville in
Schuylkill county, to Lewistown in Mifflin ;
county, by cars from Pottsville to Trcmont.
stages to Wiconisco in Dauphin, Lykens
Valley railroad from Wiconisco to Millers
burg, stages from thence to the Central
railroad 7 miles, and from thence by rail
road to Lewistown. By thi9 route pas
sengers can leave Pottsville in the mom
ing and be at Lewistown in the evening.
NORTH BRANCH CANAL. —The bids for
the work on the North Branch Canal, at
the late letting at Tunkhannock, appear to
have been very numerous. We learn that
upwards of three hundred bids were made,
many of the bidders being among the most
responsible and competent contractors in
the State. The work has not yet been
allotted.
Di rt ON COAI..—The Coal Mining As
sociation recently held a meeting at Potts
ville, at the instance of. one of the gentle
men who hud been invited to visit Wash
ington to confer with the Secretary of the
Treasury. Tin v decided upon recom
mending a speeitie duty ot $1.25 per ton
on Coal, about 28 per cent, less than the
duty in the bill of 1842, which w as $1.75
per ton.
TEMPERANCE HOTELS. Tin Village
Record, in confirmation of a common re
mark that temperance men do not patron
ize temperance hotels, notices the fact that
during the late sittinir of the Grand Divi
sion of the Sons of Temperance in Phila
delphia, not a single member of the body
stripped at the " Morris House," the only
temperance hotel in the city, which the
editor says he knows to be one of the most
genteel houses there.
The Clearfield Dollar Paper states that

The laws against intoxication arc en
forced with great rigor in Sweden. Who
ever is seen drunk, is fined—for the first
offence, three dollars ; for the second, six ;
for tin third and fourth a stdi further sum ;
and is also deprived of the right of voting
at elections, anil of being appointed a rep
resentative. He is, besides, publicly ex
posed in the parish Church on the follow
ing Sunday. If the same individual i<
found committing the same offence a fifth
time, he is shut up in the house ol correc
tion. and condemned to six months hard
labor ; if he is again guilty, to a twelve
months' punishment of a similar descrip
tion. If the offence has been committed
in public, such as at a fair, an auction, etc.,
the fine is doubled; and it the offender
has made his appearance at a church, the
; punishment is still more severe. YVhoev
! cr is convicted of having induced another
, to intoxicate himself is fined three dollars,
i which -,uin is doubled if the person is a
minor. An ecclesiastic who falls into this
offence loses his benefice ; if he. is a lay
j man who occupies any considerable post,
his functions are suspended, and perhaps
Ihe is dismissed. Drunkenness is never
j admitted as an excuse for at v crime ; and
! vvhot v r dies when drunk is buried igno
i inintously, and deprived of the prayers of
the church. It is forbidden to give and
; more explicitly to sell, any spirituous li
quors to students, work men, servants, aj
' prentices, or private soldiers. Whoever
j is observed drunk in the streets or making
! a noise in a tavern, is sure to be taken to
| prison and detained till sober; without,
however, being on that account exempted
j from the fines. (Ine half of these lines go
| to the informers (who are generaliv police
I officers,) tin- other half to the poor. If
! the delinquent has no money, he is kept in
prison until some one pays for hi in, or un
til he has worked out his enlargement.
Twice a year these ordinances are read
aloud from the pulpit hy the clergy ; and
; every tavern keepur is hound, under a
| penalty of a heavy line, to have a copy of
them hung up in the principal rooms of
; his house.
i These Swedish laws are far in advance
of those of any other nation. If Great
I Britain would enact the like she would he
j much happier in every respect, and we
1 might well take the example ourselves.
It is a little trouble to tell a lie ; but it is
a great deal of trouble to conceal the fact
j that \ou hav i told one.
THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY. —The fol
lowing particulars relative to the shooting
affair which recently took place at the
City Hotel, St. Louis, noticed in the Ga- •
zette two weeks since, we copy from the ;
Republican of that city :
The perpetrators of this outrage are men aged
about twenty-eight and twenty-six years. At
the time of their arrest they were perfectly so
her, the eldest laboring under some little ex
citement, in consequence of his acts They
were travelling in fine style, being provided
with large wardrobes, and every necessary tot
comfort and amusement. Their trunks were
searched yesterday evening, and found to con
tain nothing but gentlemen s paraphernalia, and ■
§1155 in gold, in two separate bags. _ _ j
* They claim to be a family of some distinction
in France, the eldest of the two bearing the title j
of Count. The younger states that their father
was killed in Paris In the outbreak of February
last, and in consequence of their connexion
with the events of that period, and opposition to
the Republican Government, they were com
pelled to (lee the country. They arrived in the
United States in June last, since which time
they have been leisurely wending their way
west, with a view ol seeing the country and
spending most of their tune m hunting, a sport
for which thev manifest great fondness, and for
which they are amply provided with the proper
accoutrements. The younger of the two states
that his brother has several times, recently, dis
played symptoms of insanity, nrid but a few
evenings since, while they were in the town of
Alton, made a demonstration to attack some
person, hut was timely prevented by his inter
ference. The elder brother appears to be sen
sible of his having done wrong, exculpates tne
younger brother from all blame, and claims that
he alone should be made to suffer for the conse
quences of his acts. He states that a powerful
feeling, which he could not resist, took posses
sion of him, and told him that he must kill two
men; that while iaboring under this feeling he
seized a double barreled gun and rushed from
the room, and tired at the first two men he saw ;
his brother followed for the purpose of prevent
ing him from doing injury, but before bis inter
ference could be exercised, the fatal deed was
consummated.
Dreadful Steamboat Kxploslon.
NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 16.
A dreadful steamboat explosion took place
here last evening, which from its disastrous
consequences ha? cast a melancholy gloom
over our city.
While the capacious steamer Louisiana,
bound for St. Louis, was about starting lioen
her wharf, just as the wheels began to move,
both her immense boilers exploded with a
tearful and terrible noise, shattering the boat
almost to atoms The s'eamers Storm and
Bostona were lying alongv.de of her at the
tune, both of which were also greatly damaged
by the concussion.
Al the tune 1 write ibis despatch, hundreds
of people are around the scene of destruction,
md already fifty dead bodies have been taken
from the w reck, it is supposed that one hun
dred and sixty liveu, i! not more, have been
lost by tins fearful ca'ainity, besides many bad
ly and others mortally wounded. The levee
is now literally strewn with the dead and dy
ing. It is truly a heart-rending i cene. Legs,
•inns, and other parts ot the human body were
! strewn in all directions.
NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 17.
Captain Ktmnon, of the steamer Louisiana,
been arrested and held to bud in 'he sum
i f jSBUCK>. The explosion of the boat is at
tributed to carelessness, and a searching in
vestigation of the inattei is to be had.
Many more dead bodu-s have been found
and it is thought that the number of killed
will not be less than two hundred, besides
many wounded.
The flags of the shipp.ng in harbor are all
flying at hail inast in consequence ot this ca
i lamity.
Far the Gazette
Ms Kruroa—l observed an article in the Ga
zette ot last week noticing a work on Mensura
j tion, by .Mr. Almon Ticknor, which has just
been published. A copy of it was placed in my
hands by trie publisher, and alter having given
it a thorough and careful examination, I have
r no hesitation in recommending it to the atten
tion of teachers and schoal directors.
The introduction of Mensuration into the
common schools of this country is engaging the
attention of the people of our large cities, and
it is but right that we should awake to the im
portance of instructing our children in so impor
tant a branch. The work of Mr. Ticknor is
simplified, and can be taught with ease in
schools where the other branches are taught,
without taking up too much of the teacher's
time. It is prepared to instruct the masses—
those who purpose becoming the active busi
ness men of the country, and who will not re
ceive instruction from the works before the
! community, as they are too abstruse and too
difficult to teach, except in schools where there
is a professor of Mathematics. All teachers
admit this, consequently it is not taught in any
of the common schools, excepting the High
Schools, which, however, but a small propor
tion of the children educated in the common
j schools ever enter.
lu this work all that is difficult without being
of much use is excluded, which is certainly an
' excellent feature in it; and for the trash found
in all works of the kind, sueh matter substituted
i as will be of use to the scholar when he be
! comes a man, and engages in the active duties
lof life, it lias been before the public but a
' short time, but has already received the rccotn
i mendations of some of the first men in the State,
well known for their devotion to the common

FRANCE.* —The French Ministry has
been dismissed, and the President has sent
a message to the Assembly, the reading of
which created a great excitement among
the members, and the citizens of Paris
generally. It seems that the whole of the
ministry, with the exception of M. Odil
lon Barrot, who was ill, assembled on the
morning of the 30th, to advise the Presi
dent respecting the appointment of a suc
cessor to M. Falioux, the retiring minister.
At this meeting, Louis Napoleon em
phatically declared tha! the Cabinet warn
ed dignity—an imputation sufficiently an
noying to raise the anger of less sensi
tive personages than those who form the
Executive of Republican France.
'l'he President added, that the Cabinet
had been too subservient to the Conserva
tive majority of the Assembly, and that
the Club of the Councd of State did what
he himself could not do—settled the poli
cy of the Government, and actually nomi
nated the Ministry. This was enough,
and an explosion instantly followed.
In the evening, M. Dupin read to the
Assembly a message from the President,
which is very spirited and interesting, for
it can hardly fail to provoke angry pas
sions, and it may probably produce the
co'tp d'etat which has been long foresha
dowed.
The London Times says, if this is a
clear and definite signification to the sweep
ing measure by which the President of the
French Republic has changed his whole
adminisiration, and the resolute message
in which he announced the species of coup
d'etat to the National Assembly, we must
suppose that Louis Napoleon intends to
convey to France and the world his per
emptory intention to assume in his own
person the supreme direction of the affairs
of the Repnblic.
'l'he Parisian journals publish the fol
lowing important telegraphic despatch
> from Gen. Lamorieiere to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs:—
"ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 18.

to the Ottoman Envoy, that the Emperor,
j taking into consideration the letter of the
i Sultan, confined himself to a demand that

: settled.*'
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. —The fiends,
who are nicknamed Rulers in Austria, not
satisfied with the human gore thev have
already shed, still continued their sanguin
ary career. Several additional murders
have been added to their already fearful
acts. Their victims who have been stran
gled in Pesth, or shot, are all men of mark,
! and when it is stated that the wretch Hay
nau has been appointed Civil and Military
' Governor of Hungary, crimes at which
humanity shudders, at once arise before
the mind at the mention of his name.
11 this wholesale system is continued,
another crisis in that country is believed
to be inevitable. The Hungarian officials
are sending in their resignations in masses.

ror has been published, which has for its
object to apply to Hungary the principle
01 equality, in the eye of the law, of all
citizens in all matters of duty and imposts.
