Look Oat for Him !
Some scoundrel, name unknown, is trav
elling through this county, stopping occa- j
sionally with farmers for a night's lodging
or a meal, and then insists on paying for !
the same. Our hospitable farmers con
tinue to refuse, but in almost every instance
he succeeds, by declaring that it is 44 not ;
his way of doing business," &c., in palm
ing off five dollar bills on the Commercial i
Bank of Millington, (a broken concern,) or
a counterfeit note on some other bank, and
receiving four dollars change in good
money.
UF* Mr. B. J. SILLS, of this Borough,
has raised one of the finest steers that we
have ever seen, and one that is well worth ,
a visit from all who take pleasure in ex
> amining superior cattle. He is but 2 years
old, well proportioned, and will probably
weigh 1000 pounds. It is intended to
slaughter him about the Ist of May, when
the lovers of fine Beef expect a treat
not often to be had.
Mr. tornjn's Speerb.
At the request of some friends of Mr.
CORNYN, we give place to-day to the speech
of that gentleman on the election of Judges
by the people. In the main, the views of
Mr. C. respecting the amendments are no
doubt right, but it will probably amount to
about the same thirg, whether the Judges
are appointed by the Governor and Seriate
or elected by the people.
CONGRESS. —In consequence of the death
of Mr. Calhoun, hut little business has
feen done in either House during the past
week. Clay, Webster, and other distin
guished men, pronounced feeling eulogies
on the death of Mr. C.
EF* The"" Mifflin," the largest engine
on the Central road, weighing upwards of
thirty tons, was precipitated over a high
auk on Saturday afternoon last, and now
ees bottom upwards. The accident oc
curred near Conowago creek, between
Harrisburg and Lancaster, and it was for
tunate for all in the train that the coupling
;-iween the engine and tender broke, or
the loss of life would have been fearful.
The engineer and fireman jumped off and
escaped injury. There must be something
wrong in the construction of the Harris
burg and Lancaster road, for in no other
way can we account for the numerous ac
c.dents that have taken place on it.
HP Extraordinary as it may appear, the

Death of non. John f. Calhoun.
This distinguished individual, who for
forty ) ears has mingled so conspicuously
ii national affairs, died at Washington on
Saturday last. He was born of humble
parentage, in the Abbeville district, S. C.,
on the 18th day of March, 1782, his fami
ly bejp Irish on both sides. His educa
tion was very limited until he attained his
19th year, but he notwithstanding, gradua
ted with honor at Yale College in 1804.
In the tall of 1810, after brilliant success
at the bar, he took his seat in Congress,
and though but 28, such was his reputation
that he was placed second on the commit
tee of foreign relations, Peter 1). Porter
being chairman, and Felix Grundy, John
Randolph and Philip B. Key, the other
members. During the session, upon Mr.
Porter's resignation, he succeeded him as
chairman, and the message of the Presi
dent being of a warlike character, Mr.
Calhoun took strong ground in behalf of
the American cause.
Alter six years distinguished service in
Congress, he was offered a seat in the
Cabinet as Secretary of War, bv President
Monroe, which he accepted, and continued
in that post until 182."), when lie entered
upon the duties of the office of \ ice Presi
dent, to which he was elected in 1824, and
again re-elected in 1828, on the Jackson
ticket. Although at first a warm partisan
ot old Hickory, Mr. Calhoun did not long
remain such, having become disgusted with
the trickery of the old Federalists who had
clustered around Gen. Jackson, and thence
forward occupied a middle ground between
the two great parties.
In 1832, on the election of Gen. Ilayne
to the office of Governor of South Caro-
lina, Mr. Calhoun was elected to a seat in
the U. S. Senate, to fill the vacancy oc
casioned by Gen. Hayne's resignation, and
resigned the office of Vice President for
the purpose of entering upon the duties of
a Senator. He continued in the Senate
until 1843, when he resigned, and retired
to private life.
In 1841, on the death of Judge Upshur,
he was called to the Department of State
by John Tyler, which place he filled until
1 the accession of Mr. Polk to the Presi
dency. In 18-1(3 he was again elected to
the U. S. Senate ; but declining health has,
for the last two years, materially interfered
I with his duties. He led an active, labori
ous life, and, with all his vagaries, few men
have wielded a wider influence.
Dr. Webster'!! Trial.
This extraordinary trial was brought to
a close on Saturday evening last. The
jury retired, at live minutes past 8 o'clock,
and came into court at eleven. Chief Jus
tice Shaw called on the prisoner to stand
; up and hear the verdict.
Chief Justice—Mr. Foreman, have you
agreed to a verdict ?
Foreman—We have.
Chief Justice—Do you find the prisoner
guilty, or not guilty ?
Foreman— GUlLTY !
The prisoner sank back into Ins chair
with his hands upon the railing, and lii
face on his hands, and so remained ten min
utes.
Dr. Webster was brought into Court on
Monday morning at 9 o'clock to receive
the solemn sentence of the law. lie looked
gloomy in the extreme, but collected and
calm. The Court room was densely
crowded, as were the avenues leading to it.
At 10 minutes past 10 o'clock the Court
came in, including the Hon. Richard
Fletcher, who had not attended the trial.
• After some minutes of silence, Mr. At
torney General Clifford, narrated the facts
of the indictment, trial and verdict, and
moved the Court that the final sentence be
now pronounced. The prisoner rose, and j
was asked by the Clerk what he had to
show why sentence of death should not be
pronounced against him. The prisoner
bowed and took his seat in silence.
Chief Justice Shaw then addressed hiin,
and closed with the sentence that he be
"removed from this place, and be detained
in close custody in the prison of this coun- ;
tv, and thence taken at such time as the
executive government of this Common
wealth may by their warrant appoint, to
the place of execution, and there be hung
by the neck until you are dead."
A large number ol' persons who had pe
rused the testimony as published, received
the verdict with surprise, nine out of ton
deeming it insufficient to convict. It is
possible however that some facts and cir
cumstances were developed during the trial,
and that some under current prevailed, of
which those at a distance from the tragedy
can know nothing, and hence the awful re
sult.
IF" Dr. John Dorsev, of Huntingdon
countv, is said to have committed suicide
yesterday morning by taking a large quan
tity of laudanum. The rash act was com
mitted, it is alleged, in consequence of the
marriage of a young lady to whom lie was
deeply attached.
Trial for Arson—Conviction of Prisoners.
Much interest has been manifested in
the proceedings of Court since Monday
last, several cases of importance to our
citizens as well as the accused, having
been tried. The principal one was the
Commonwealth vs. Samuel Afurks and
George liarick, indicted for arson, being
charged in one indictment with setting fire
to the property of Thomas E. Shull, and
in the other with burning the stable of T.
& I'. McClure. A large number of wit
nesses were examined—among them Mc-
Ennis, an associate of the parties indicted,
who turned State's evidence—and a case
made out against them, so far as the burn
ing of Shull s property was concerned,
which could admit of no doubt. Marks,
Rarick, and McEnnis, it appears were
among the leaders in kindling bonfires on
the streets and other riotous proceedings,
and on the night of the fire, after kindling
a bonfire in front of McDowell's tavern,
proceeded down Market street to the jail
lor the purpose of sobering one of them
by a walk, when, according to McEnnis,
Marks declared lie would burn the ten pin
alley. .McEnnis alleges that he attempted
to persuade him not to do so, but failed.
The party then proceeded down Wayne
street to the building, when Marks got in
at the window, Rarick took up his position
at the alley and M'Ennis proceeded to the
blacksmith shop below. Marks soon came
out and followed by the others, set off on
a run through the alleys toward the bon
fire up town, so as to lie there before the
fire broke out. A portion of this testi
mony is circumstantially corroborated |>\-
other witnesses, and we know of no reason
to doubt M'Ennis' statement of the affair.
The case was ably conducted bv A. I'.
JACOB and S. S. \\ OODS, ESQRS., for the
Commonwealth, and G. W. ELDER and
ANDREW PARKER, ESQRS., for the defend
ants, and was given to the Jury on Thurs
day, who after deliberating some time re
turned a verdict of GUILTY for burning the
property of Thomas E. Shull, as charged
in the first indictment,' and not guilty of
burning the stable of T. & F. M'Clure, as
charged in the second.
The counsel for defendants intend ma
king application for a new trial, which we
believe is to be argued to-morrow.
The punishment for the crime of which
the prisoners stand convicted is confine
ment in the Penitentiary for any term not
exceeding Jifteen yean.
RUMOR.— It is rumored on the street
this morning that some further dcvelope
ments have been made which may lead to
the detection of incendiaries vet at lar<re.
Pennsylvania Legislature.
On the 29th, in executive session, the
Senate confirmed thcnominaiion of George
Tract to the Associate Judge of the Court
of Common Pleas of Bradford county, and
by a party vote refused to confirm the nomi
nation of Samuel Yolie as Associate Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas of North
ampton county —yeas 10, nays IT.
The bill regulating banks came up in
order, and was passed finally at half-past
0 o'clock, by a vote of yeas 21, nays 9.
In the House, on the 29th, the resolu
tions relative to the tariff were staved off
by a vote of -( to 16.
After a good deal of dodging and in
trigue among the locofocos respecting the
apportionment bill, that partv succeeded,
as we infer from the Harrisburg corres
pondence of the True Democrat, in buy
ing their man Jiest by promising to pass
the bill erecting a new county out of Co
lumbia. to be called Montour. Packer and
his kindred accordingly hatched up as in
famous a bill as their brains could well
conceive, and it passed the Senate on
Wednesday by the vote of Best. No re
gard whatever is paid to the enumeration
of taxables, which the Constitution de
clares shall be the basis of apportionment,
but the sole criterion in forming the bill
was the political complexion of the dis
tricts as re-arranged. Thus Millliii. with
9000 taxables, has one representative,
while Erie, a whig county, with 9000, has
but one ; Dauphin with 7083 taxables has
but one, while Fayette, loco, with ?6il,
lias two, &c. If men who vote fur such
a bill are not guilty of violating tlimr oath
to support the Constitution, wc should
like to know what violating an oath is ? !
No public bill of any importance has
thus far passed either House, and it is now
doubtful whether these model representa
tives of the '• incorruptible democracy"
will adjourn before the first of May.

j GIVE IT CE NOW !—Thia remark was made the
: other day by one of the Senators who, during
| his visit to our town, stepped into the Trtmen- ■
jdo us Establishment of C. L. JO.YES, and alter i
I looking through his store and making some pur- i
chases, he was forced to acknowledge that the i
j arrangement of goods—the extensive way in
which business i 3 done —and more wonderful i
; than all, the shocking low prices, beat anything !
| he ever before saw in the way of large and'hand" j
some stores and cheap goods.
! WONDERS NEVER CF.ASE. —The attractions of j
the Extensive Establishment of C. L. JOfi'ES is
now beyond all conception, jI is display of NEW
SPRING GOODS surpasses anything we ever be- J
held either here or elsewhere—and notwith- '
standing he has such extensive and costly ar- 1
rangements for the display of his truly ma'gnifi- j
cent store, he really sells goods cheaper than
ever, and at least thirty per cent, below all other j
, stores. Give him a call before you purchase !
and you will be the gainer thereby
1 "
1 TIIE EXCITEMENT attending the trial of Dr.
V\ ebster having in some measure subsided, the I
next subject that will probably engross public
attention will be, "who has brought up the
handsomest stock of new goods this spring?"
The opinion gains ground daily that NUSBALM,
BROTHERS, are entitled to the claim, as they
have a most beautiful stock and sell remarkably
cheap, as any one can satisfy himself who will
give them a call.
