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.'
