IMPORTANT TO TAVERN KEEPERS. —An important notice from the District Attorney appears in to-day's paper, which if carried out, will effect an entire reform in tavern keeping, so far as Sunday is concerned. It is not precisely stated that the Court adopted all the recommendations of the Grand Jury, yet, as notice is given by the District Attorney that the practices com plained of will be punished under the laws recited, we infer that this is a preliminary step to closing the bars of taverns alto gether on that day. There is certainly room for reform, not only on Sundays, but almost every day in the week, as entirely too many hats have of late had bricks in them which seriously incommoded the wearers. When a beginning is made, however, let it be at the top of the heap, and not, as is too frequently the casein such matters, at the bottom. The Christiana Treason Trials. The city papers have been filled for several days with long reports of this trial. Castner llanawav, one of the white men implicated in the crime, was arraigned for trial on the second day. He put in a plea of ">io/ guilty'"'' and the Court proceeded to empannel a jury. This occupied con siderable time, a large number of jurors being set aside by the LE S. Attorney, and challenged by the defendant. At the close of the third day's proceedings, the panned to try ihe case of Hanaway, was constitu ted as follows : 1. Robert Eliot, Perry county. 2. James Wilson, x\clams county. 3. Thomas Connelly, Carbon county. 4. Peter Martin, Lancaster county. 5. Robert Smith, Adams county. 6. William R. Sadler, Adams county. 7. James M. Hopkins, Lancaster county. 8. John Jerikin, Perry county. 9. Solomon Newman, Pike county lU. Jonathan Wainright, Philadelphia. 11. Ephraim Fenton, Mongomery county. 12. James Cov den, Lancaster county. The Court then adjourned over until Friday morning, when the jurors were sworn, and the case was opened for the prosecution by the U.S. District Attorney. He said the outrages perpetrated at Chris tiana was treason against the United States, and all who participated in it were guilty of that offence. It was concerted and combined resistance against a statute of the United States, and as far as ihe defendant, (Hanawav) was concerned, was made with the intent to render that statute void and in operative. The proof against the prisoner would be clear and convincing, and such as would satisfy every man of his guilt. 'J'lie overt acts would he established by thc testimony of more than two witnesses, and in so pointed and distinct a manner that no question of their truth could exist. PARDONED. —Jesse D. E. Quantrill, who has been confined in the jail of Allegheny coun ty, for the last two years and a half, tor an as sault and battery, has been pardoned by Gov. Lowe, on condition of his leaving the State. The pardon arrived on Thursday morning last, and on Sunday he took his departure for Phila delphia. A most happy riddance.— Cumberland, .1 Id., Journal. This may he a " happy riddance" for Cumberland, but if the man is a loose character, as we infer he is from this remark, such a pardon is an act of gross injustice to the States adjoining Maryland; and it would be no more than right that the next criminal in this State to whom a pardon may be granted, will be conditioned that he take up his residence in Cumberland. The Ilev. Ut THER ALBERT, late of Ilellefonte, has been elected Pastor of the English Lutheran Church in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Pork as I'ood. The Boston Surgical and .Medical Jour nal states that the New Hampshire Shakers have abandoned the use of pork as an article of food. It believes that the Sha kers will be gainers in health by this reso lution. It gives Moses the credit of being sasracious in introducing its use among the Jews, and believes he well understood its injurious effects upon Egyptians. 'Scro fulous affections, if not generated,' it says, 'are thought to bj aggravated by the use of pork, and ineasels have been charged to its use.' It states that we suffer more from skin diseases than the people of those couritriev whero pork is not used ris food. ew Series —Vol. 6-I\o. 7. KOSSUTH is certainly most eloquent, and is astonishing his hearers in England, by the force of his oratory, and his com mand of the English language. The newspapers are filled with ihe speeches delivered by him at the public celebrations which have been given in honor of his arrival. The number of these speeches is surprising, and though the subject is the same, he, by the power of his eloquence, invests each speech with new interest, and gives to iteration the charm of novelty. At London, at Birmingham, at Manchester, he dwells with manly indignation upon the wrongs of his country, points out the strides which despotism is taking towards enslaving all Europe, identifies the cause of Hungary with that of freedom, and en deavors to rouse the lovers of liberty to resistance of absolutism. In speaking, it is said, 'he recurs to 110 notes, relies upon no promptings, resorts to no foreign phra ses to elucidate his meaning, and makes no preparation beforehand, save a clear i and digested understanding of the subject he intends to discuss. And yet he sways his audience like a first class speaker in his own vernacular. The following pas sage from his late speech at Manchester, is but one specimen out of many of his rare powers of oratory: — How blind are those men who have the affectation to assert that it is only certain men who push to revolution the conti nent of Europe, which, but for their revo lutionary acts, would be quiet and conten ted. [Laughter.] Contented ? [Renew ed laughter.j With what? [Long and loud shouts of laughter.] With oppres sion and servitude ? France contented, with its Constitution subverted? Ger main- contented, with being but a fold of sheep, pent up to be shorn by some thirty petty tyrants? [Loud cheers and laugh ter.] Switzerland contented, with the • threatening ambition of encroaching des- pots? Italy contented, with the King of Naples—or with the priestly govern ment of Home, the worst of human inven tions? [Cheers.] Austria, Rome, Prus sia, Russia, Dalmatia, contented with having been driven to butchery, and after having been deceived, plundered, oppres sed and laughed at like fools? Poland contented with being murdered ? Hun gary, my poor Hungary, contented with being more than murdered—buried alive? [Loud cricsj for it is alive. [Energetic cheering.] What I feel is but a weak pulsation of that feeling which pervades the breasts of the people of my country ? Russia contented with slavery? [Hear.] Vienna contented? Loml ardy, Pesth, Milan, Venice, Rome, Prague contented ? —contented with having been ignominouslv branded, burned, plundered, sacked, and its population butchered!—half of the European continent contented with the seatiold, with the hangman, with the prison, with having no political rights at all, hut having to pay innumerable mil lions for the highly-beneficial purposes of being kept in a state of serfdom ? [Cheers.] Thai is the condition of the continent of Europe—[Hear, hear. —and is it not ri diculous and absurd in men to prate about individuals disturbing the peace and tran quility of Europe ? People of Manchester, let not the world, let not Europe say, that on the eve of the last struggle between despotism and libertv, you have nothing further to give to the principle of freedom than the compassion of tender hearts. People of Manchester —people of England, up, up with manly resolution, and to the Czar shout, ' Stop !' like the populace of old, and you have given the world freedom and libertv.— [G reat cheering.] Daniel Webster's Farm. In the course of a Biography of Daniel Webster, published in the Boston Bee, the following anecdote occurs:—ln the va cation, Mr. Webster took his family to visit a ' nice little place,' which had been assigned to him by a creditor, on the road from Meredith Bridge, to Meredith Village, containing five acres more or less. After riding over liill and dale, on a rough road, (so the story goes) iie reached the locality, and found—a log lint, with about half an acre of the veriest trash in the shape of rocks and bushes to be seen any where in the Granite State! This was the extent of his 'nice little place,' very nice, un doubtedly, to hold the world together, but of no conceivable utility for any other purpose. Without alighting from his car riage, the ' Lord of the Manor' called the old lady, whom he found in posession as tenant, to the door, and alter sundry ques tions as to whether she paid her rent regu larly, and if not, whether she should not he turned off the place, &.c. , and the old dame protesting that she was poor and un able to pay—that she had heard that the owner was a 'very clever soul,' and didn't think he would be so cruel as to turn her out ot house and home, A r c. &c., Daniel pulled a sum of money out of his pocket, and assuring his tenant that lie knew the owner very well, told her to occupy the premises as long as she could afford for the money he gave her, and be sure to take good care of thein ! Whether Mr. Webster has visited his ' nice little place' since, we know not, but it still remains in his possession, and is known in the regiou iround about as • Daniel Webster's Fwrm.'
