HP*The High Constable was engaged yesterday morning in selling a number of Hogs which had been taken up on the streets. We are sorry for the owners, but at the same time believe that ordinances of this kind ought to be strictly enforced.— We have suffered some ourselves by swine getting into our garden. CF The Juniata Sentinel says that should Col. A. G. CI'RTIN of Bellefonte, consent to the use of his name for the of fice of Auditor General or Surveyor Gen- i eral, both of which are now elective, his \ nomination and election would certainly be within the range of probability. A better selection in our opinion could not be made. GPJudge EPHRAIM BANKS, of this place, has been named as a proper candidate for Auditor General on the locofoco ticket. WILI.IAM ROSS, Esq.,of this place, has been appointed Mail Agent on the Central Railroad—a post which he will no doubt fill in a manner satisfactory to the Department and the public. TREATY WITH ENGLAND.—A letter from Washington, says that the Treaty just concluded between Sir Henry Bulwer and our Government was transmitted to the Senate on Monday by the President, ac companied with the correspondence be tween the contracting parties. Great Brit ain stipulates not to settle, occupy, fortify, or exercise any right of domain in Central America or the Mosquito coast; in other words, she agrees to surrender the territo rial acquisitions made by virtue of an al leged protectorate to the King of Mosquito. This is a re-establishment of the policy laid down by Monroe—one that the Cnited .States is pledged by principle and interest to adhere to. Military Encampment. The annual Military Encampment of the 3d Brigade, 15th Division, Pennsylva nia Uniformed .Militia, will be held at Pe tersburg, Perry county, commencing on the 21st and ending on the 21 th day of May next.

GODET'S LADV'S BOOK for May contains no less than twenty-two distinct embellishments, and the literary articles are from pens of some of his best contributors. Godey is rich in re sources and fertile in imagination, and hence. ,ve shall not be surprised if in the coming half year he should furnish his readers with some thing new and unique. SARTAIN'S USIOS MAGAZINE for this month numbers among its contributors, Kamartinc, Harriet Martineau, and frcderika Bremer, and is embellished with several fine engravings. Hartain promises in the June number, a beauti ful portrait of Jenny Lind, printed in tints ; ac companied with a biographical notice.

Tin: G ALPHIN CLAIM. —We last week drew the attention of the Democrat to I some erroneous statements relative to this claim, anil referred the editors to a Ut ter in the Washington Union over the signature of Mr. Montague, a clerk under Mr. Polk's administration, for information respecting it. This reference for informa tion certainly was plain enough, yet the Democrat of yesterday gravely informs its readers that we relerred it to the JUash inst/on Union , and after quoting a para graph of Ritchie's slang, avers that we " cannot, after calling a witness on the stand, repudiate his testimony !" With all due deference to the far-seeing author of this grandiloquent specimen of fair dealing, we humbly submit whether there is not some difference between a letter over a proper signature in the Washing ton Union, and the Washington Union i.self I We have seen nothing as yet to change the opinion expressed last week, that if the claim was just, interest would be equally so. Mr. Polk's administration allowed the principal, and as will be seen by the following reply to the Union's ar ticle paraded in the Democrat, the interest was reserved for further consideration by Mr. Polk's Secretary of the Treasury ; From the National Intelligencer. " We are enabled to state, for the information of the 44 Union," that the several claims cited by that print yesterday were all left undecided by the late Administration, so far as appears by the records of the several Departments ; the only vehicles through which their successors could be advised of their official acts. What the heads of the several Departments may have thought of any or all pf those claims; whether they formed opinions upon them, and, if they did, what those opinions were, we have no means of knowing, except in one case, namely, the Ga/phin claim, which was in express terms reserved for further consideration on the question of interest." THE CABINET. —The National Intelli gencer, in noticing the many rumors that have been circulated in relation to a disso lution of the Cabinet, says:— 44 It is not true that the enemies of the Cabinet 4 have won the President over to them nor is it true that 4 the President has intimated a strong disposition' to 4 form a new Cabi net.' There exists, we have reason to know, entire concord between him and his Cabinet; and there is not, we verily be lieve, a single member of the Cabinet who would not retire from his station instanta neously on discovering that his presence in the Council Chamber was not desired by the President. There is not, we are persuaded, one of them who is not affec tionately and deeply attached to the Pres ident, and proud that he enjoys the esteem and confidence of that eminent inan. Nor is there in fact any division, or any want of harmony, between the President and the members of the Cabinet." UNIVERSAL PEACE. —Another Congress or Convention has been called to meet at Frankfort on the Maine, in Germany, in the month of August next, to do what is possible towards abolishing the barbarous custom or institution of war, and thus do away those potent instruments of tyrants, the bloody sword and ruthless bayonet, as well as standing armies, national debts, and grinding taxes. There is no limit as to the number of Delegates, and the Peace Congress Committee for the United States recommend each congressional district, towns, or other bodies, religious or litera ry, to choose a delegate—also, State con ventions, meetings in towns or other loca tions, to further the cause. If there is any one in our county who wishes to take a trip to Europe next summer, and see the good and wise men of the old world, we move that lie he appointed Delegate.

AN EXHIBITION. —Prof. Webster's Lab oratory is now exhibited as a public show, at 12i cents admission. Mr. Littlefield, it is said, is the gainer by this questiona bly decent operation, for he pockets the receipts. A GOOD PROVISION. —One of the provi sions of the Constitution of California is as follows :—<" Every law enacted by the legislature shall contain but one object ; and that shall be expressed in the title This is an excellent provision anil was in tended to guard against Legislative log rul ing, which seeks to combine several ob jects in one Oninibus bill, so called. Were this salutary principle adopted in Pennsylvania, an end would at once be put to sniugglin ,r md log rolling. Pennsylvania Legislature* The apportionment bill noticed last week as having passed the House, was amended in the Senate in the most objectionable : manner, and with the aid of Best's vote passed a second reading and was ordered to be prepared for a third, but the locofocos of the House not having fulfilled their part of the bargain by passing the Montour county bill, the Speaker suddenly flew the track on Saturday last and refused to vote, by which this new gerrymander was etfect ually killed, for the time being at least.— The locofoeo letter writers who had been soft-soaping him for a week or two, have j again let loose their wrath and now de nounce him as " reckless in his course," j " disgraced in character," and " lost to all decency and honesty,"—see Democrat of I yesterday. The appropriation bill was read a third time in the House on Monday afternoon and passed on Tuesday. It contains an appropriation of $250,000 to the North Branch Canal, but under restrictions that may render it inoperative. In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Cun ningham, the hill to incorporate the Evan gelical Lutheran Congregation of the bo rough of Lewistown and vicinity, was taken up, amended, and passed a second and final reading. The bill providing for the election of prosecuting attorneys has passed both houses, and is now in the hands of the Governor. New apportionment bills have been re ported in both houses, but it is impossible to tell what shape they will assume when they come up for consideration. The Montour county bill Iras at last passed the house, with amendments re stricting the new county to part of Colum bia, and leaving the matter to a vote of the people. The Legislature has passed a General Banking Act, regulating the Banks of the State that shall hereafter be chartered and re-chartered. By this law the liability principle is extended to all issues of Banks —all foreign notes, or the notes of other States under the denomination of ten dol lars, arc excluded from circulation in this Common weal ill—the Directors are made personally liable for the depositcs and other debts, in ease of the Iraudulent in solvency of banks—cashiers arc required to give bond to the amount of one-iifth of the capital, when it is $200,000 and un der ; in one-eighth when it is between $200,000 and $500,000 ; and in one-tenth, where it is over $500,000 and not exceed ing $1,000,000. The extent of the term for which each bank shall be chartered, is fifteen years. Banks can be chartered for a less period, but none for a greater, in the aggregate. The bill also contains a pro vision requiring the country hanks, east of the mountains, to keep their bills at par in Philadelphia, and those west of the moun tains at par in the city of Pittsburgh. It has been signed by the Governor. We have looked over the above act, and tind some provisions that may be an im provement on the old charters, but in the main nothing that will make noteholders safer than they were before. By this law a single section of a dozen lines will suf fice to create a new Bank, and considering that but little scruple exists among our bank-hating " democratic" legislators to smuggle " monopolies" into existence, we sliouid not be surprised to see a \Y ild Cat, Fox Tail, or Crow Scalp Bank chartered in some stronghold of loeofocoism by at taching such a section to an important bill under the head of " other purposes." Sonic months since Messrs. M'Clurkan <!k Co. brought suit in the Court of Alle gheny county, I'a., for the recovery of about *4OOO of the City Scrip of Alle gheny, together with the penal interest of 20 per cent, upon the same. On Tuesday of last week the ease was tried, when judgment went against the city for the amount sued for, and the penal interest was allowed. NEW ENOLAND INDUSTRY. —The Ban gor (Maine) Whig states that in the valley of the Blaekstone river from Pawtucket to Milburv. a distance of 30 miles, there are 115 Cotton and Woollen Factories, besides : six large Machine Shops, two large Axe Factories, and three extensive Scythe 1 Works, giving a total of 126 manufactories. Many of these arc very extensive, the , largest Woollen Cotton Mill in the United ; States being among the number. THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION. —The great Industrial Exhibition of 1851 occu pies much public attention ; meetings are being held respecting it in nearly every part of the United Kingdom. France, Belgium, Holland, Prussia, and Austria have responded very warmly to the invi tation. Even Spain has aroused herself from her usual lethargy, and has issued a circular to the Governors of Provinces respecting the great usefulness of the in tended exhibition, and appealing to the Spanish people to take part in it. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. In the House, the locofocos are bringing all manner of covert charges against the administration, the intention evidently be ing to convey to the minds of the people tiro idea that there is something wrong.— The tool selected in the House for this dirty work is a fellow from Illinois named Richardson, who took occasion the other day to offer a resolution calling for the ap pointment of a committee to inquire into the course of action pursued by Mr. EWINO in certain matters designated ; and this res olution, with these insinuated allegations against the Secretary of the Interior, was offered at a time when, as the mover well knew, it could not be entertained except by the unanimous consent of the llouse.— Some one having objected, Mr. Stanly moved a suspension of the rules for the purpose of having the resolution acted upon at once, with the view to the appointment of the committee and the institution of the proposed inquiry. But it did not suit those who started the movement to have the res olution acted upon. Their purpose was gained by imputing charges and leaving the implied calumny to go forth. On the fol lowing day the matter was pressed in anoth er form, until the locofocos felt compelled to pass it; and we shall now see whether the slanderer who made the reckless charges can substantiate them. During a debate on a biil for the relief of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad C C Company, by advancing money for mail service to pay duty on railroad iron im ported by that Company— Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, expressed a hope that before this bill was allowed to pass, tiie House would take time to look at it. It was a proposition to bring the Government into a connection with the system of interna! improve ment, by advancing money for the relief of this railroad company, for that was the true import of the bill. It was a bill to authorize an exten sion ot the time for the payment of the duties on imported iron, until such time as the Govern ment might pay itself out of the moneys due to the company under a contract for the transpor tation of the Mail. Now, if the company had entered into a contract with the Government, let them fulfil their contract, and if the Govern ment has made such contract with the company, let them pay what they have contracted to pay whenever the terms of the contract are com plied with. He beiieved this road runs through i wo States, and if so, the Government has juris diction over it. Several voices: Three. Mr. Stevens. Three States: then it does come under our jurisdiction. He was opposed to this system ot encouraging the foreign manu facturer to send his iron here, fir the construc tion of our railroads, and to the manifest injury of our domestic manufacturers. Mr. Porter, (Mr. Stevens yieiding at his rc ! quest,) desired to ask the gentleman from Penn -1 aylvania, whether '.hat Stute had ever paid duties | on the iron imported bv her in the construction of her railroads 1 Had she not obtained a re mission of the duties on all the imported iron used in the erection of all her public woftsl Mr. Stevens resumed. The State or Penn sylvania was at this moment buying British iron. He admitted that there was a time when Penn j sylvama, in the construction of her railroads. • imported a considerable quantity of iron from abroad, and by some arrangement.she had only partly paid the duties on that iron. But latter j ly, neither Pennsylvania nor any of the eastern i States, had asked for a remission of the duties on their imported iron, j Before the act of 1842, when Pennsylvania j first embarked in the business of manufacturing railroad iron, she paid seventy dollars per ton on all the iron she imported ; but since the year i 1812, when the law of l*+42 went into operation, railroad iron had been purchased at the rate of ! fifty-six dollars the ton; and now this foreign iron can be purchased in Bostou at thirty-nine dollars the ton, duties, freight, and all other ex penses included. And although this is the state of things with our competitors, and this is the j way in which the domestic article is depressed, we are now called on to give new privileges in favor of the imported iron, by extending the time in which this railroad company shall be required to pay the duties on the iron imported by them. The domestic manufacture is thus to have the disadvantage! of a foreign valuation of the import ed article, and the credit system instead of a home valuation and cash duty. These duties are j thus in part to be made payable, not by the rail road company, but by the United States Govern i mpnt; because they are not to be paid until the Government ahail have in its hands enough of I the money due to the company under their mail contract to pay them. I le called on all those who had any regard for the iron interest of our own country, or who were disposed to sustain our home labor, to pause and reflect before they consented to pass this law, which would prove but an entering wedge to a eystem, the tendency of which is to break down nil our domestic interests. There was never so much iron imported into any coun try as is now imported from Kngland into the United States, Pig metal can now be brought into this country from (Jlasgow, at a less cost than the bare expenses of carrying the same ar ticle fifty miles by internal transportation, and is delivered here at a price which is absolutely ru inous to our own establishments. The efiectsof this destructive polity are nlready visible in the dilapidatedconditionofthe I'ennsylvftnia works. The establishments in Clarion county are, for the most part, idle; and even coal is imported from Europe and brought into the Pennsylvania coal region. And as if this was not enough done tor the injury of our domestic industry, railroad com panies must come here and ask for nn extension of time before they are to be called on to pay thoirdutieeon the iron imported for their benefit. And in this way all the great interests of the country are to be disconnected and frittered away by piecemeal, until the whole shall be thrown down and destroyed. Mr. Stanly was very sorry tliat the gentle man frctn Pennsylvania [Mr. Stevens] could never speak on any subject without throwing out some reflection against the South. Mr. Stevens (Mr. Stanly yielding for ex planation) said he had thrown out no re ec ion on the South. Ho should have made the same observations if the bill had been for the bonctit of the North. But the North wouid not come here to ask for tuch a measure. Mr. Stanly (resuming) said he had heretofore voted in favor of the protection of our domes tic industry, and lie would he gratified to do so again. Whatever protection may be required to place the iron-works in Pennsylvania on a prosperous tooling, he would be always ready lo vote for, in spite of the remarks which had been made by the gentleman from Pennsylva nia. This is a very small matter. It istne'e |y a bill for the extension of the time for the payment of duties. The contract existing be tween th;s company and the Post Office De partment is to the amount ot nearly §100,1)00 a year. And this alone was ample secarity to the Government. On 90 simple a matter he was surprised that such an opposition should be raised. Mr. Casey was understood to put an inquiry, whether the iron had been ail imported, or there was yet a quantity to be imported. Mr. Stanly was understood to say, that the iron had been imported. Mr. Hackett asked it there would be any in cumbrance on the road which would diminish the security held by the Government 1 Mr. Stanly replied in the negative, and moved the previous question. The biil was then passed. (QUESTION OF SUNDAY TRAVEL —The vote for twenty-seven days, showing the number ofstock holders voting, and tie shares represented, gives the following totals: STOCKHOLDERS.

Romance in Real Life. The Le wisburg Chronicle announces the marriage on the 14th inst., in that place, of JOHN JOHNSON and .Mrs. MARIA MILLER, of Chillisquaque township, Northumber land county, and tells the following ro mantic story respecting the happy pair:— The groom, who now works in the boat yard here, was formerly a sea-faring man. The bride is from South Carolina ; and her father, and former husband, both of whom have been dead many years, were wealthy planters. Some live years ago the young widow made a visit to England, in company with her brother, a southern gen tleman of fortune, and on the return voyage they embarked in a vessel in which the groom was serving as a common sailor.— By some accident she was knocked over board in the harbor of Liverpool, sunk to the bottom, and was given up for lost. Our hero, however, did not abandon the search. A slight change in the position of the ves sel discovered her, the water being remark ably clear, lying on the ground, twenty feet below the surface, and apparently dead, lie instanlv plunged to the bottom, seized her by the hair, and brought her to the top. A large lock of hair was pulled out in the attempt which is still preserved. After some hours of persevering exertion, she was finally brought to and fully,restored. She was deeply grateful to the preserver of her life, and during the voyage she formed a strong attachment for him, and a union for life was resolved upon. Their plans were, however, frustrated, and for several years they never met. In the mean time her fortune became impaired. Some three or four months ago she heard of his location here, and immediately came on from Charleston to see him. Her uncle, however, overtook her and carried her back. She came on again some three weeks ago, but was confined to bed for some time bv sickness. Recovering, on last Sabbath evening the long deferred nuptial knot was lied, and the rescuer and rescued are now united in a life-partnership, 44 for better or for worse."
