Mr. A. undoubtedly keeps an excellent house, which is splendidly fitted up, and spares no pains to sustain its reputation. DROWNED. — We rr-grei to learn that WM. HENRY I.ONGSDORE, aged about ten ' v ears, son of Henry Longsdorf, of this place, was drowned in the canal below town on Tuesday evening last. He had been *ent down the tow-path after some cow s, but not returning, search was made, and on the follow ing evening his lifeless remains were taken from their waterv grave. It is supposed that lie accidentally fell in. and the water being deep, was un able to get out. lie had been attending Air. I.Mile's school, and it being the last day ol the term, had parted with his teacher atul schoolmates under the admo nition that they might not again all meet in life and health ! A few hours afterwards he "lept the sleep that know s no waking. The Philadelphia papers have a tel egraphic despatch stating that an attempt was made last Friday night to fire the railroad bridge five miles west of this place. We have no such news here. An attempt was made that night to fire a small bridge between Harrisburg and the railroad bridge across the Susquehanna, but either the reporter or operator at Har ris-burg was widely at fault in locating the matter five miles west of Leuistown. M e have sins enough to answer without fathering the incendiarism of other coun ties. and hence hope the telegraph man down there will be more careful in future. j BLARS.—A considerable number of these animals continue to frequent Jack's Moun tain, in this county, and last week two cubs having ventured within a short dis tance of Reedsville, were bo h captured— the old one escaped. .SIGN POST DEMOLISHED.—Some fellow got into a difficulty at M'Do well's tavern •on Monday last, and while Mr. M'D. was looking up a peace officer, he set to work and deliberately cut down the r, if not disposed to indulge in sober thought or dreamy imagination, and somewhat cu rious as to the form and structure of the rattlesnake, we dare say a diligent search will reward you with the sight of one. Trout too—though small—are sttill to be found in these little streams, and if vou have never seen any of that beautiful fish to whom the Creator gave the mountain stream for its home, but against which inan wages an unceasing war. you cannot fail to admire it. If pleasure is sought, good roads di verge, into all parts of the country, and horses and vehicles of every description can be had ; or if the party is large, om niblisses can be chartered at reasonable rates, which will take you to Brothers' tavern at Reedsville—to Perrysville, to Greenwood, Allenville, or any other part of the Great Valley where the farmer kings reap a rich reward for their labor, and who will treat you with a hospitality wor thy of the olden time*. Then, too, we can hold out inducements in the way ol hunting from the smaller game up to the bear—in fishing, trout, pike and fall fish are occasionally hooked that would do no discredit to any stream : while MOVER'S Lewistown Hotel, TERM ER'S National House, and ALLISON'S Rail road Hotel, are the largest and best inns in the interior of the State, with landlords and landladies that know how to do up things both rare and brown. Our society too is composed of all class es, and lug hugs and little hugs, the hand some, indifferent and uglv, the genteel and shabby—can all be suited to their tastes. We have also a large number of handsome girls, some of whom know how to knit and darn, and would doubtless make ex cellent wives for those wanting a better half-—while others know nothing beyond sweeping or dusting a parlor, and it an opportunity would offer could without question help any nabob to spend his means. Why, then, not come to Lewis town ' We are sure, very sure, that no tow 11 along the blue Juniata can vie with ns in an)' respect, or present one-half the inducements we can. tv' The editor of the .Mitllintown Re gister says he considers a man sent as an instructed delegate to a State Convention " a nun bug of straw." To judge from tlte proceedings ot the Wiliiaiusport Con vention wr. should think there was a con siderable number of 44 bogs of straw"' in attendance there, read) to be disposed of to tiie iifyhrsl OMMCI Rather Suspicious-—! Reiululsfelite. In 1838 a young man removed from the borough of York to Huntingdon county, and commenced the practice of law. In politics he had been known as a whig, but by some means or other, after his removal, he volunteered a defence of David R. Por ter in a letter written to York, in which he held up that individual as one of the best , citizens ot the county, although lie could not have known him for more than a few weeks ot months. This letter was paraded 111 the columns of the York Cazeite and republished over the State as the produc tion ola near neighbor of Gov. Porter, and no doubt had some effect with those who strongly mistrusted the nomination, and who had thus far yielded a reluctant support to the 44 iron Grey." Well, David R. Porter was elected Governor, and the hitherto briefless lawyer was tirst appointed Prosecuting Attorney, then to some other petty stations, and finally as Consul to a South American port, which he held until last year. It is hardly neces sary now to say aught respecting the Por ter Administration, as the loeofocos them selves would rather it had been blotted from the records, and have since reaped some of the fruits ol their sowing, and we only refer to it for the purpose of showing how and by whom the people were then deceived. We now find this same man. who twelve years ago volunteered a statement which he probably did not himself believe in favor of Porter, in correspondence with the loco loco nominee lor Canal Commissioner, in which Mr. Morison is made to say that he belongs to no clique or faction, and had made no pledges to any one to obtain the nomination. He claims to be 44 an inde pendent but humble member" of the par ty, and it his nomination is ratified at the ballot-box, he professes his readiness to serve the dear people with all his might. Such promises, it i- well known, come with peculiar grace and ease from the different factions of locofocoism in this State, and as we have noted for several years that straws show which way the wind blows when the spoils on the canal are at stake, we should say without hesitation that the Cameronian# have triumphed in the nom ination of n UHum T. Morison. We arrrive at this conclusion from the man selected to draw the candidate out into an expression of independence —from the lan guage used—and front other circumstances within our know ledge—all which unerring ly indicate that if Morison is elected, Mil ler, Foster & Co. can hang their 44 harps upon the willows." (onfe*lon of fir. Renter. We have not room to-day for more than the following extract from this document, describing the manner in which Dr. Park man was killed. Vflcr slating that he had made an appointment to meet Dr. P.. but without any thoughts other than to make some arrangement for the pavment of his indebtedness, he savs— He came, accordingly, between haif-pabt one and two o'clock, entering at the lecture room door. 1 was engaged in removing some glasses from my lecture room table, into the room in the rear, called the upper laboratory. He came rapidly down the step, and followed rnc into the laboratory. He immediately addressed me with gr'-at energy—"Are you ready for me, sir - Have you got the money " ! replied, "No, Dr. Parkman;" and 1 was then beginning to state my condition, and my appeal to linn, but he would not listen to me, and interrupted me with much vehemence He called me a scoun drel and liar, and went on heaping on mc the most bitter taunts and opprobrious epithets. While tie was speaking, he drew a handful of papers from his pocket, and took from among them ray two notes, and also an old letter from Dr. Hossaek, written many years ago, congratu lating him on his success in getting me ap pointed Professor of Chemistry. " You see," he said, •' 1 got you into your office, and now I will get you out of it " lie put back into his pocket all the papers except the letter and the notes. I cannot tell how long the torrent of threats and invectives continued, and I cannot recall to memory but a small portion of what he said ; at first, 1 kept i nterposing, try ing to pacify him, so that I might obtain the object for which I sought the interview, but I could not stop him, and soon my own ternpe.r was up ; 1 forgot everything, and felt nothing but the sting of his words. I was excited to the highest degree of passion, and while he was speaking and gesticu lating in the most violent and menacing manner, thrusting the letter and his fist into my face, in my fury 1 seized whatever thing was handiest (it was a stick of wood,) and dealt him an in stantaneous blow with all the force that passion could give it. I did not know, or think, or care, where 1 should hit him, nor how hard, nor what the. effect would be. It was on the side of his head, and there was nothing to break tlio force of the blow. He fell instantly upon the pavement. There was no second blow ; he did not move. I stooped down over him, and ho seemed to be lifeless, lilood llowed from his mouth, and 1 got a sponge and wiped it away. I got some ammonia and applied it to his nose, but without effect. Perhaps 1 spent ten minutes j iri attempts to resuseiate him, hut I found he was absolutely dead. In my horror and con sternation, I ran instinctively to the doors arnl bolted them, the doors of the lectiire room and of the iaboiatory below And they, what was Ito do? It never occurred to me t the -mall private room: by letting the body partially erect against the "corner, and by getting up into the sialic myself, i succeeded in drawing it up there, it was entirely dismembered. i Titf confession was made by the advice | of Dr. Webster's spiritual counsel, and ! presented to the Governor and Council for | the purpose of obtaining a commutation of the sentence of death. PROtEEimGS OF CONGRESS. In the Senate, on the 27th, after the consideration of the usual morning busi ness, the Omnibus Bill was again taken up. Mr. Webster addressed the Senate, lie said Mr. Soule's amendment was opposed to the immediate admission of California a" a State, providing as it did certain con ditions which must be lirst acted upon by California in convention. In his opinion, it was highly expedient to admit California now, and to give her a proper position in the Union, and such powers as are neces sary to enable her to revolve with the orbs of our political system. That he believed to be the general, although not unanimous, sentiment of the country. She had suffi cient population ; her case was pressing. No oilier State ever presented herself here under circumstances so peculiar and pres sing. The emigration to that country was immense. One hundred thousand emi grants would reach her shores this year. 'J'fie question then was, what is to he done with California ? lie did not think it safe to longer delay her admission, without looking to the alternative of her separation from the Union. He did not think it safe to delay that measure until another session. He thought it expedient then to admit her at once, if there were no insurmounta ble objections to such course ; and what objections were those presented by the Senator from Louisiana, Mr. Soule ? The lirst class was that, acceding to lite bill, there was no security to the United States in the public domain in California ; and the second related to her boundaries, which he considered too large, inexpedient and unnatural. He proposed to remedy the first class, by sending back the constitution of California, with instructions to amend it in certain form ; and the argument of the Senator was to the effect that if these conditions were not imposed and agreed to, the erection of the territory into a Siatc would deprive the United States of all con trol of the public domain. Mr. Webster proceeded to consider anil answer Mr. Soule's argument upon this point, contending that the sovereignty of a State does not cover and hold public do main of necessity. If a people settle upon lands unoccupied, form themselves into a State government, they acquired owner ship of the unclaimed land. But if a peo ple settle upon territory belonging to anv counlry, how could the formation of a government bv that people divest the owner of the soil of the right of owner- ship and vest the ownership in the new government f The United States owned California, how then was die erection of a State government to divest us of owner ship ? The right of the United States to hold land was the same as that of an indt \ idual, except that the former held it only for one great purpose, to sell. Mr. Web ster maintained that the usage, practice, judicature and laws of the country were ail against the supposition that California would become the proprietor of the public domain within her borders. What then was there in this case to lead to the over turning of all the practice of the past ? California hail expressly, upon the face of her Constitution, admitted the ownership by the I nited States of the public domain. In conclusion, upon this point of the sub ject, he appealed to .Mr. Soule to recon sider this question, and withdraw his ob jections connected with the public domain. Mr. Webster next considered the ques tion of boundary, reaffirming his position that no better boundary could possibly have been chosen than those defined in the constitution of California. He contended that South California would be of no value for slave labor. The soil and climate ab solutely forbade it; the disposition evinced by the people of that part of the territory had been to exclude slavery from their midst. The South could obtain nothing practical from such a division. Mas it not better then, under ail circumstances, to admit California as she is f He had no part in the acquisition of these territories ; he was no prophet, and it needed no pro phetic vision at the time of their acquisi tion to foresee the consequences which must follow that measure. These consequences were now upon us. As an American he was desirous of settling the difficulties im pending, and in that spirit advocated the bill now under consideration. In the House, on the 29th, the Chair stated that the first business in order was the lowa contested election, and that the question immediately pending was the mo tion of the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. HARRIS) to lay the whole subject on tlm table. The question was taken, and the House refused to lay it on the table—\ea -93, nays 103. The question recurred on the resolution declaring the right of Mr. THOMPSON to the seat. This question was taken ami decided in the negative—yeas 94, nays 102. The Free Soilers voted with the Whigs to oust Mr. Thompson. Mr. MCGAPOIIEV introduced a resolu tion declaring that there was a vacancy in this House in the representation from the first congressional district of lowa, and that the Speaker be directed to inform the Oovernor of lowa of the fact. The question was then taken on the resolution of Mr. Mc(aughcy, and it was adopted—yeas 109, nays 84. t'V HOI.MES MACI.AY has been appointed to take the census of this count v. For Juniata eountv, V.

Rumor hath it that the citizens of Huntingdon have been so much astonished at the news, that a town meeting is shortly to he held and a committee appointed to find out where the trout are and where the mountain mut- ton comes from. AN IMPROVEMENT UPON THE OI.D METHOD. — The Austrian Government has affixed the name of a Hungarian leader to the gallows, as a pun ishment lbr his rebellion. This is an improve ment upon the old method, when they used to affix a man's neck to the same instrument. It gives reason to hope that the blood-thirstiness of the Government is nearly appeased, arid that something like humanity may he hereafter ex pected from it. Perhaps in future political rev olutions the people, instead of cutting off the heads of their monarchs, may adopt the sp-rit of the above improvement, and take off on'y their crowns.
