Volfeuit- Sixth.
The present number of the Gazette
commences the sixth tear since it has
passed into our hands, and it affords us
pleasure to say that many of the trials and
difficulties that heretofore rendered the
publication of a paper in this county ex
tremely diftlculi, if not disagreeable, have
hern in a great measure surmounted. It
is true, hardly a year has elapsed during
which individuals have not found fault
with our course, and at times to such a
degree as temporarily to withdraw their
support from us ; hut in almost every in
stance u' ere our motives and actions were
misconstrued or misjudged, time has shown
all concerned thai we have never been gov
erned by any other influence than a desire
to extend the usefulness, and contribute
towards the welfare of the whigs of Mif
flin and the State. We may have erred in
some matters, but if we nave, nothing lias
thus far transpired to show that a contrary
course on our part would have caused a
different result.
Our list is now nearly one hundred
larger than it has been at any time hereto
fore, and from the interest manifested by
many who begin to discover the usefulness
of a county paper in conducting a cam
paign, will no doubt go on increasing.
Much can he done by our friends in the
country by merely recommending their
neighbors to procure the Gazette, or if any
one is desirous of raising clubs, we will
allow ten per cent, on ail moneys remitted.
Our terms are extremely low—so low as
to bring the paper within the reach of
every whig in the county—and all we ask
is a fair list and prompt payment. That
done, on our part we will undertake 1
to furnish as good a newspaper as can be
procured in the interior.
JCDGE CAMPBELL. —The defeat of this
gentleman, one of the locofoco candidates
for Judge of the Supreme Court, is no
longer a matter of doubt, as Richard Coul
ter heads him so far in die counties already
heard from, that he cannot possibly re
cover hisdosses. The question now arises, !
what and who caused litis result? Some
of the democratic papers allege that Camp
bell was proscribed because he was a Ro
man Catholic ! Iffo, who proscribed him?
Surely not the whigs, for they polled their
full vote for their candidates. It must then
have been the d-moctxtaj —that democracy
which professedly knows no distinction
•between rich and poor, between Catholic
and Mormon, yet will turn round and de
feat any one of the faith who has the harr
tiihood to have his name placed on a ticket.
Let the whigs remember this, and when
hereafter a locoloco charges them with in
tolerance. point to the defeat of James
Campbell as evidence of the toleration of
iris party !
EXCLUSION TICKETS. —The Railroad
'Company have determined to give excur
sion tickets to all desirous id" going to the
Mlale .Agricultural Pair to be held at llar
risburg on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day of next week. The excursion tickets
conn irnce on Monday .;vJ end on Satur
day. The fare to iiarrisburg and back
will be £2. Passengers from Lewistown
must leave in the evening train.
Governor Johnston has appointed Thurs
riiy, the 27th of November, as a day of
'i'h :rh.living throughout the State.
1 ASSOCIATE JUDGES. —The recent elec
tion has resulted more curiously in l^e
; matter of Associate Judges than any other
on which the people were called on to
decide. In this county John Henry, in
| dependent, heats Isaiah Coplin, the demo
cratic nominee, 17 votes: in Union eoun
! Tv Wittenmever, independent, beats Engel,
the whig nominee, I'2B votes; in Huuting
! don county, Stewart, loco, beats Brewster,
j whig nominee, 8 votes; in Blair county,
Gardner, independent, is elected over Cald
well. whig, by a small majority—and so
in many oilier counties where all other
; parts of the regular ticket succeeded,
! there was an evident dislike to those set
| up by the politicians of both parties for
Associates, and an unusual scratching of
names.
The Magazines*
SARTAIN," for November, among its
' store of handsome illustrations, contains
one of St. Cpcilia, from a pastel, that is
| particularly beautiful. The literary con
| tents are varied to suit all tastes, combining
instruction with entertainment.
GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE is rich in embel
lishments, and its reading matter is quite
up to its usual excellent quality. Judge
Conrad, Mrs. Neal, 11. V>\ Herbert, L.
F. Tasistro and other favorite writers of
prose and poetry, are among the contribu
tors.
GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK is all that a
" Ladv's Book" should be. Besides the
merely ornamental illustrations, there are
beautiful designs and drawings for the
lady's work table, and the literary contri
butions are of such a light and various
character as to please all the many tastes
of the sex.
We have also before us Forrester's
Boys' and Girls' Magazine, the Lady's
Keepsake, Bulletin of the American Art
Union for October, Merry's Museum, the
Hydropathic Encyclopedia, Litteli's Liv
ing Age, &c., but no time to notice them
at length.
Consequences of the Election.
It was maintained by the \Y higs of
Pennsylvania throughout the late Cam
paign, titat the success of Col. BIOLKR
would be regarded all over the Union as
'•another noble impulse given to the cause
of Free Trade." To show ihe correctness
of tiiis position, now that the Locofoco par
ly have succeeded, we quote the follow ing
paragraph from a lengthy article on the
subject in Thursday's .\f w Vork Herald:
To return to the Pennsylvania election the
result may be considered as decisive against a
revision of the tariff at Ike next session of
Congress. Governor Johnston, the defeated
W lug candidate, made the tardf a distinct is
sue before the people, in his various addresses
before the election, throughout the State
and he called upon them to declare bv their
votes whether they were satisfied with the
present tariff, or whether they desired more
efficient protection, parlicuiariy on coal, iron
ami other manufacturers of Pennsylvania. —
liigier the democratic candidate, on the other
hand, was understood to be in favor of the
present tariff', and not anxious fjr further pro
tection. Whatever, therefore, may be at
tempted by the advocates of a higher tariff* at
the next session of Congress, the vote of the
people of Pennsylaania, as that of the section
o? the country most interested in a tariff' wili
doubtless tie urged as decisive ogams! any re
vision or further protection.
The speculations of the Herald in re
gard to the effect of the Pennsylvania and
Ohio elections so fir as relates to the Presi
dency, are also worth copying. It says.
With regard to the effects of these elections
on the prospects of the democratic candidates
for the I'resicictK v, we should s-iy that the re
sult in Pennsylvania is highly favorable to Mr.
Buchanan, whose lavnri'e nominee tor Govet
nor is elected by so large maj iri'v. Should
the democrats of liie South generally tfise up
Buchanan a? their csndida'e, be would come in
to the next national convention under very
strong auspices.
The cause of Tree Trade and its advo
cates is evidently in the ascendant. But
Pennsylvania would have it so, and if her
interests are sacrificed by the operation,
whose business is it, we should like to
know ?— Heading Journal'.
Major Tochman has submitted to the j
public press of the United Slates an ad- i
dress to the American people, forwarded
to Gov. Ujhazi by Kossuth, in March,
1850, but whicti has been prudently with
held from publication, lest it might inter
fere with the efforts unking for his release.
It gives a long and animated history of the
wrongs indicted upon Hungary by the
reigning house of Austria; ot the revolu
tion in Hungary, and of its overthrow by
the treason of Georgey and the combined
forces of Russia and Austria, lie then ex
horts his countrymen not to despair, but
to look forward to a time when, by a union
of alt their races, aided by the sympathy
of other nations, they may throw off their
yoke. A large portion of the address is
devoted to the sympathy extended by the
American government and people to the
struggling Hungarians, and the warm wel
come they offered to the exiles. The house
ol Hapsburg. as well as the Russian impe
rial family, lie views as destined to an eaily
' overthrow, and he predicts that die Hunga
rian nation is not lost, but will be yet
" among the foremost in the war of uni
. versa! liberty." The style is marked by
, the enthusiastic, figurative eloquence pecu
liar to Kossuth, and we regret that our
limited space prevents its publication.

THE PLAGUE IN* THE CANARIES. —The recent
terrible epidemic at the Canaries is described
vividly by the correspondent of the Picayune :
History does not record anything so sad as the
spectacle which the island of Grand Canary has
presented, and still presents. The best directed
pen attempts in vain to relate such mistortunes
and horrors, and words would not be sufficient
to depict their intensity.
The epidemic, supposed to be the cholera,
ragtd with such fury that the inhabitants in
consternation abandoned the town, without ear
ing for anything but their persons, to such an
extent that they even forgot the ties of blood.
Death surprised them in the midst of their
flight, so that the roads were covered with
corpses over which not a tear of friendship, or
of filial or fraternal love was shed, because ter
ror had smothered every sentiment except that
of self preservation. As was to be expected,
the fugitives, carrying with them the fatal germ,
infected the country, which became the theatre
of the most horrible scenes.
The beasts, abandoned in the city, perished
for want of food, and the decomposition of their
bodies, together with that of the human corpses
which remained uuburied in the streets, vitiated
/he atmosphere to such an extent that any un
fortunate person who might return to the city
fell dead almost as soon as he entered a house.
However, this new conlre-temps was stopped as
soon as possible by the energetic measures
taken by trie worthy Military Governor, and by
the humanity of the second Aleade of the Cor
regidor, and various young men, many of whom
feli victims to their heroism.
At last the supposition was confirmed that the
epidemic was not the cholera, but the terrible
plague of the Moors, it having been aseei tamed
that it was introduced into the island of Grand
Canary, iy the fishing vessels which frequent
the western coa-is of Africa. The persons in
the island devoted to this traffic, numbering
about 1,800, have almost all perished, as there
remain only enough to man a single vessel. Ac
cording to the declarations of the masters of
the said vessels, on all the western shores of
Africa, there reign* a deathly pest which carries
off the inhabitants, the mortality being so great
that the corpses are strewn upon the earth in in
credible numbers, and their decomposition aug
ments the influence of the cori upted atmosphere.
As soon as the Coinmandant-Gcncral of the
Province learned the abandonment of the city
of Las Palmas, he sent a portion of the garrison
of the capital to bury the dead, but the greater
portion of the soidiers were attacked by the ep
idemic and died. In short, in order to give an
idea of the ravages of the pe>t, it is only neces
sary to state that in two months 6.000 persons
died in the city of Las Palrnas, and 16,009 in the
whole island. Up to the last dates the plague
had spared the towns of Agaeta and Fejeda.
At the last dates, August 12th, the epidemic
abated considerably in the city, though it still
raided in the country.
From tlx Cincinnati Commercial, Oct. lit.
Yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock, St. Aloy
sitis Orphan Asylum, on Fourth street, near
Western Row, was discovered to be on fire,
originating in the only stairway leading to the
upper part of the building. The orphans were
all asleep at the time. The alarm was raised,
and the consternation which followed is inde
scribable. There being no egress from the
building but by this stairway, ladders had to be
placed to the windows by which most of the in
mates of the Asylum escaped being burned to
death. Some few jumped from the windows of
the second, third, and even fourth story win
dows. Had not the citizens in the immediate
neighborhood boldly rushed to rescue them, the
loss of life would have been great. Some were
seriously injured by jumping from the windows
and slightly burned oy the intense heat of the
fire. Over one hundred children were in the
Asylum at the time of the fire. Horrible to re
late, five children were missed in the morning,
three of whom were found burned to death, in
the course of the day, in the lecture room of
the Asylum.
Judge Sharkie, of Mississippi, has been ap
pointed oy the I'resident Consul of the United
Stales at Havana, vice Owen, removed, and has
accepted the appointment!
Pardon Peckham, aged 92, a soldier of the
Revolution, was killed on the railroad track, 15
miles from Buffalo, on the 16th. He could not
get off the track quick enough, and was knocked
down by the engine, and immediately killed.
The trial of Col. Charles Castleman, charged j
with unmerciful treatment of a slave, thereby ;
causing bis death, came off at Berryville, (\ a-,i ,
on Wednesday last, and tesultcfl in a verdict of
acquittal.
FAILURE AND SLTCIDE. —The Chambersburg
(Pa.A Whig, mentions the failure of Mr. f red
crick Roener, an active miller and merchant of
that vicinity, and states that Mr. L wis Denig,
an old and esteemed citizen, and one of Roe tier's
endorsers, bad committed suicide.
STE.AI.ING ONE'S WIFE.— At a recent term of j
the District Court in Cedar county, lowa, the
jurv rendered a verdict of $5,000 fur the plain
till in the. case of Brown vs. Stiiles. Ihe de
fendant was charged with abducting the plain- i
tiff's wife, and secreting her and her children.
The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu- •
setti has decided that the proper authorities, 1
acting in good faith, and for the benefit of the ]
schools, have a right to exclude a girl of bad
character from the public schools. The Court j
below has decided the contrary.
BEAUTIES OF DESPOTISM. —A mister tailor in j
Russia, obtained a passport for Paris, on the
condition that he would not go to London ; but,
on arriving at Paris, the temptation of the
Crystal Palace was so strong that he could nut i
help visiting it. On his return to Warsaw he
was summoned to the office ol the police, and j
was told he had been to London, in violation of ,
his promise, it was accordingly ordered that
he should receive a certain number of stripes, |
and they were duly inflicted.
BITTEN BY A RATTLESNAKE.— In Reading, J
Pa., on Sunday last, George ,Schu!ts was bitliu ;
tie right hand by a rattlesnake belonging to
Charles Neidly. The wounds caused by the
fangs of the snake bled freely, savs the Press,
and in a short time the hand and arm began to
swell to a fcarfui extent, causing great fears for
the life of the victim. Remedies were speedily
applied—the arm was tightly bandaged, and
physicians were called, who succeeded in pre
venting the spread of the deadly poison through
the system.
WORTH KNOWING.—A young lady of 1 hi!a-
I delphia, while in the country some years ago,
j stepped on a rusty nail, which ran through her
shoe and foot. ihe inflammation and pain w ore
i of course very great, and lockjaw was appre
; hooded. A friend of the family, however, re
■ commended the application ot a beet taiicn fresii
! from the garden, and pounded fine, to the wound,
j It was done, and the effect was very beneficial.
; Soon the inflammation began to subside, and by
keeping on the crushed beet, changing it for a
fresh one as its virtue seemed to become im
paired. a speedy cure was effected, feimpie but
effectual remedies like this should be known by
I everbody.
NEAPOLITAN CLEMENCY. —The sentence of
' death, pronounced against several persons in
j Naples for having arms in their houses contrary
, to the police orders, has been "graciously com
muted by His Majesty to 19 years imprisonment
in irons! And the sentence of 19 years impris
onment against Vito Circello and others fur a
similar offence, to G years banishment." The
people living on retired and mountainous re
gions of Romania, arc constantly exposed to
robbery by the bandits who live in the forests,
in consequence of this arbitrary interdict against
having any arms or instruments of war in their
houses.
We noticed Ice, for the first time this
season, this morning.
AN OLD PIPE. —The Minnesota Pioneer says.
14 the identical Indian pipe smoked by old Father
Henepin at the first Indian Council he attended
with the Sioux Indians, near the falls of bt.
Anthony, is now in our possession, the property
of A. S. White of Washington city, who ac
companied the Hon. Luke Lei to our territory,
and assisted at the late Sioux Treaties.
A CAVE-IN. —On the night of the 30th uit.,
a cave in occurred on Frout street, in the town
of Plaquemine, La., commencing at the mouth
of the bayou and extending down as far as
Perm's Alley, a distance of some two hundred
and fifty yards. Fortunately no houses were
submerged by the cave, but tiie space which wi.i
be necessary for the construction of a new and
substantia! levee, will cause many a valuable
mansion to be torn down.
ANOTHER TRIUMPH. —The London Morning
Chronicle praises some Brussels carpets exhi
bited at the Fair, and which were woven upon
power-looms, at the manufactory cf Mr bigc
low, the inventor, in Massachus .-Us. The Chron
icle says, "although various attempts nave been
made to adopt the power-loom to carpet weav
ing in England, there is not, we believe, at this
moment, any machinery perfected for that ob
ject. Our American brethren have therefore
gained another step ahead of us, and have won
another laurel on this well-contested field of the
industrial arts.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19. —This evening, about G
o'clock, Thomas Davis, a rigger, residing in
Charter street, murdered his sister, a very beau
tiful and prepossessing girl of about 23, by cut
ting her throat, and afterwards tearing out her
windpipe. He was laboring under delirium
tremens. The cause of the act is supposed to
be his opposition to iter contemplated marriage.
Davis has been arrested. He had lately re
turned from California.
The new block of three story dwellings on
Pacific street, Brooklyn, tumbled down last
night with a tremendous crash. Fortunately no
one was injured.
A man named Owen Sullivan, residing in At

man and conductor. Daniel O'Neill, who was
on the engine at the time, was very badly scalded.

The people dear, as politicians say,
is what makes us appear to-day,
We write in rhyme so that you all
May read, reflect, and give us a call.
For we hare opened, and for sale designed,
Dor,is and Shoes of every kind ;
For men and women we've supplies—
For children, too, of every size.
We've LADIES' SOOTS, the best that's made,
And Misses' too, of every grade;
Our stock of Gaiters is complete—
Our Jefferson's cannot be beat.
Ottr Jenny Lind's are just (he thing ;
Sot of them we need not sing,
Merely say that they are cheap,
Double soled, and can't be beat.
Our Boots are all of the best Kind,
A little Ihe best in town, you'll find;
We've boy's bonis 100, so very tow.
We are surprised how fast they go.
Of haifour stock we cannot sing,
For it consists of every thing
That women, men, or boys do wear—
So much we cant describe with care.
And if it suits the people's mind,
We'll take produce of every kind ;
Hut, then, the CASH, it is confess'd
At all times w ill suit us the best.
You need not fear our shelves to thin,
Supplies are always coming in;
We buy them cheap, and well we know,
We can't be beat in selling low.
Now, we invite you, one and all.
We hope you'll not forget to call;
You'll find us two doors from Waltson's store—
Ai.d now we are done—we'll say no more.

CHESTER, Pa , Aug. 22,1846.
J. C. Ayer—Sir: I was taken with a terrible cough,
brought on by a cold. In the beginning of last February,
and was confined to my bed more than two months
! Coughing incessantly night and day, I became ghastly
and pais, my eyes were sunken and glassy, and my
; breath very short. Indeed, 1 was rapidly failirg, and to
such (liairess for breaih, that but little bnp of my recov
eiy could be entertained. While in this situation a
friend of mine (the Kev. John Keller, of the Methodist
| church) brought me a bottle of your CHERRY PECTORAL,
which I tried more to giatifv hur. than from any expecta
tion of obtaining relief, lis good eff ct induced me to
| continue Ha use, and I soon found my health much im
i proved. Now, in three months, 1 am well and strong,
i ar.d can atinbute my cure only to your great medicine
With the deepest gratitude, your*, Ac.
