The Executor of Mrs. Rebecca McClellan w ill offer at public sale some valuable mill pro perty on the 19th February. The Administrators of Benjamin Walters will oficr the real estate of said deceased at public sale on the 27th February. It will be seen by advertisement in another column ol our paper - , that the '\V ilder's Patent' J ire I'roof Safe, has again come forth unscathed Irorn the late fire at Barnum's Museum, Philadel phia. This well known article is the original and only patent Safe called 'Salamander,' arid the one which achieved such an enviable notoriety, by preserving the books and money of the New \oi k I ribune establishment, when burned out a few years ago. Since that time they have been tested in nearly one hundred different instances ot accidental fires, with the same satisfactory results, and, best of ail, have added the crown ing laurel to their fame by carrying off the high est honors at tire great i.ondon Exhibition. Mr. JOHN F ARREI., NO. 34 Walnut street, Philadelphia, is the only person in this Ssale au thorized to sell our manufacture. J3P An interesting little girl, about 3 years of age, can lie had on application to the Steward of the Miillin County Poor House. F© - AY e have been indebted, during the past three or lour weeks, to Hon. Thomas M. Bibighaus, YVm. 11. Seward, and E. Banks ; Col. Eli Slifcr, Gen. Ross, (ieo. Raymond, Esq., and others for sundry public documents. The Y lllage Record states that the YY'hig members of the .State Legislature have addressed a letter to Governor John ston, in which they testify in the strongest manner to the fidelity and ability with which he administered the affairs of Penn sylvania while he occupied the Guber natorial chair. It is signed by every Whig member in the Senate and House, and is of the most cordial and compli mentary character. An " Old Democrat" in yesterday's Democrat has a sensible and feelimr article on the bill to prevent the immigration of free negroes or mulaltoes into this State, which, but for the want of room, we would transfer into our columns. The editor ot the Democrat takes sides in favor of the bill, and expresses "some surprise at the opposition to that wholesome meas ure from such a source." YY'e have long since felt convinced that the universal de mocracy would some day come to this point with respect to colored men, and should not be surprised if Centre or some other stronghold of locofocoism will one day furnish a member who will report a bill to strike out the words " all men are created Jrec and n/ual" from the Declara tion of Independence ! The managers of the YY'ater Com pany make much complaint respecting broken hydrants and the careless waste of water, which has reduced the reservoir so low that they are compelled to shut it off every night. Y\ e are also desired to state that all persons violating the regulations of the company in this respect will be dealt with hereafter according \o law. Appointments by the Canal Commissioners. J. B.

Cunningham must have appeared in the world under the auspices of a lucky planet, for we find him unusually fortu nate for a printer —and, by the by, it gives us pleasure to say that, in common with numerous friends, we rejoice at his appoint ment. j Destruction of the New Lutheran Church by Fire. We noticed a lew weeks ago that the new Lutheran Church, on the corner of Third and Main streets, a few doors above the Gazette office, had its spire raised above the cupola, and that it was on the point of completion. It is now, we regret to say, a heap of smouldering ruins, with nothing standing save the bare walls to at test the existence of what was undoubted ly by far the most imposing structure for religious worship ever erected in Lewis town. On Wednesday evening, a few minutes I after ten o'clock, the alarm of fire was i sounded bv a young lad—who we believe first discovered it, and such of our citizens as had not retired, at once repaired to the spot. It was then confined to the cupola, near the roof, and might have been extin guished with case, but water was wanting, | and before a supply could be obtained, it had acquired such headway as satisfied all ' present that a vigorous clfort only, but ae i compmied with much danger, could save ; even a part of the building. IJy this time 1 the flames had gradually crept upwards, and in a few moments after the entire spire I was a livid sheet of flame, throwing its broad glare for miles into the adjacent val leys and mountains. The top at length gave way, and fortunately fell into the building, as did the heavy upright timbers subsequently. All apprehension of dan ! ger having been removed by the falling of the spire, strenuous efforts were made to preserve the buildings near the church. The dwelling of Samuel Rittenhouse was on fire at one time, but was speedily ex tinguished. This building is but a few i yards from the church, and but for the protection afforded by the walls of the latter, must inevitably have been destroyed. The night was calm, and although many sparks were carried up North Third street, lodging on different buildings, no further damage was sustained. The church eon" tinued to hum until two o'clock, A. M. Some benches and a few other articles were the only things saved. Many of the fixtures might have been removed, but a general impression prevailing that the hose companies would speedily get the fire un ; der, no effort was made until the fatal want ; of water was discovered—and then it was too late. Ll is difficult to conceive what motive could urge any monster in the shape of man to the perpetration of an act so fiendish, yet the fact that no lire has ever been used in that part of the building, nor in any other part that could send a spark to the place where the fire was first discovered, leaves no alternative hut a conviction that it was the work of a heartless incendiary. The Trustees, we understand, hold a policy of insurance of s3ooo* in the Cum berland Valley Ylutual Insurance Com pany; and Mr. Turner, the builder, has an insurance of SISOO in the Franklin Fire Insurance Company of Philadelphia, which, though we believe not fully execu ted, that liberal company will no doubt pay. There is also said to be a quibble in this poli cy, but if so, we trust the company will not hes itate to pay the insurance, as any other course would not be politic or honorable. YY'e have taken occasion at different times to urge upon our citizens the neces sity of doing something towards guarding against the appalling danger to which our town is subject from fire—and if such edifices as the Lewistown Mills and Lu theran Church cannot be rescued from a de vouring clement, even if discovered at an early hour, what hope will there be should more combustible material some day come under its fearful power. The difficulty between the Borough and Water Company ought to he adjusted, either ami cably or by law, in order that we may know where and how we stand in relation to water. At the former lire the want of hose prevented an active exertion to arrest the llanies ; and now, with sufficient hose to bring two companies into play, the want of lire plugs and water consigned another valuable building to destruction. Ought this to be so any longer, or will nothing but some dire calamity awaken our citi zens to the importance of a remedy—not a remedy after the winds of Heaven shall have scattered abroad the ashes of a hun dred dwellings (as may yet be the case.) but a remedy to enable our firemen to do their thankless duty with a devotion for j which such men are universally prover bial ' ]o do it, they must have proper machinery, and above all thev niu.-t have • water. Il no satisfactory arrangement can be made with the Water Company, let some additional hose ami one or two suction engines be procured, and the Ju niata and Kishacoquillas will furnish water in abundance at all seasons ; but whatever is done, let it be done at once. We have had "masterly inactivity" lung enough; let us now hate prompt and decisive action. i A Memento of the Mexican War Pretious to the departure of Captain Irwin's company from this place for Mexi co, the Ladies of Lewistown presented the members with a number of memen tos as evidence of their regard for the patriotism which urged so many young men to leave their peaceful homes for the far of!" plains of another land, to endure the hardships and privations of a soldiers life. Among these mementos was a pock et Bible for each, book marks, <Cc., the sight of which doubtless often recalled the donors to memory, even amid the stir ring scenes incident to active warfare. One of these Bibles with a book mark was taken hence by JOHN W. GOODWIN, a private, who died at Perotc, in Mexico. Into whose hands it next passed we have no means of knowing, but, as will be seen by the following letter, it continued its on ward course, until its subsequent owner either lost it amid the din and carnage around him, or fell upon the memorable field of Churubusco. The evidence that it has been "well used" will he gratifying to those who bestowed it, and to the father of Goodwin, who we believe resides in this county, will prove a relic he may well prize : Bdlefontaine, (Ohio,) January 13th, 1852 DEAR SIR : —I have a Bible in my possession that 1 presume would be highly prized by some one or more of your citizens, it was found on the battlefield of Churubusco, Mexico, August 20, 1847, by a private in Company 'II,' lath Regiment of U. S. Infantry, and by him handed to his Captain, John B. Miller, of this place. There is a book mark in it, "Love is true." If the Bible was new when presented, it was referred to frequently by the one who carried it, as it is now considerably soiled. There is one mark on it that indicates that it was opened by a bloody hand. There is a record on the inside of the back cover, in the hand writing of a lady, which I will copy: " Presented by the Ladies of Lewistown, Pennsylvania, to JOHN- \V. GOODWIN, of Captain Irwin's Company, 11th Regiment, United States Army, March, 1847. Will you please make the above known in your village, and if you can ascertain that there is a Father, Mother, Sister, or some other friend who would value the relic, let me know, and 1 w ill forward it to you as you may direct, with great pleasure. Respectfully, Yours, S. L. TAYLOR. To VV'M. BLTLER, Esq., Postmaster, Lewistown The Forrest Divorce Suit, which has agitated the New York public for some time, was terminated on Monday morning, when the jury rendered the following ver dict : "The jury find Mr. Forrest guilty of adultery —that he was a resident of New York and not of Pennsylvania—that.Mrs. Forrest was entirely innocent—that the amount of alimony allowed Mrs. Forrest be three thousand dollars." On the rendition of'the verdict there was much excitement amongst the specta tors, but the verdict generally is considered a righteous one. It will be seen by the following let tor, that Gen. Irwin has resigned the post he so ably filled under Governor Johnston : To his Excellency William F. Johnston : BEAU BIR :—The office of Adjutant General of the Militia of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania to which you have twice appointed me, 1 now most respectfully resign. To carry out all the reforms which, with your approbation, I have in my several reports recommended,required certain legislation, which it is to be regretted was withheld, but when it is known that the Military Department of your ad ministration has annually saved to the Common wealth twenty thousand dollars, 1 trust that the real importance of the office will he recognized, and that just and enlightened legislation will re store all its efficiency, by investing it with all its original power. Noadministralive ability, how ever eminent, can place the military affairs of Pennsylvania on a proper footing, unless the full measure of authority belonging to this office is allowed it. In thus closing my official connection with your Excellency, I beg leave to thank you most sincerely for the steady confidence you have re posed in me, and for the constant and very val uable advice and assistance which you have af forded to nie in the introduction and completion of several important reforms in the military system of this Btate. 1 have the honor to be most respectfully and truly your friend and obedient servant.

At the latest advices SIIOW was two inches deep in Tallahassee, Florida. At Cincinnati, la.it week, wood was selling at .§7 and $8 per cord. Barley straw is the best for filling mattresses, and should be preferred to wheat, oat or other straw. Rev. Walter Balfour, a distinguishciTUniver salist clergyman, died at Charleston, Mass., on Saturday week, aged 80 years. The cost of Kossuth and suite, at Brown's Hotel, Washington, was live hundred dollars a day. The trunk of Gov. Kossuth was lost in the snow last week between Ebensburg and Blairs ville, l'a.

Mr. Daniel Butngardner, one of the York volunteers, who marched to the defence of Bal timore in 1814. died at York, Pa., on the Ist inst. The Cold in New Orleans, on the 20ih inst, was such tl at the therm -meter ranged at only fifteen degrees above zero, the weather being the coldest experienced there for twenty vears. A writer in the Rural New Yorker says that potatoes, when frozen, if dropped one by one into boiling water, and cooked, the taste or the quality will he uninjured by the freezing. It is stated in a letter from Naples, that the King shot one of his guards, a few days ago, while out hunting, mistaking the unfortunate man for a wild hoar ! C. Pexuignet, the husband of the woman who was frozen to death last month on the Central Pennsylvania Railroad, has brought suit at Pitts burgh against the company for damages. "Old Whitcy," Genera! Taylor's favorite charger, instead of being in the Kossuth proces sion in New York, was at the time at the resi dence of Gen. Taylor's son, near New Oileans. John \\ .

The Turkish Government has introduced the culture of cotton in the vicinity ot Damascus, with seed procured from the United States. It succeeds well. The Schuylkill Haven Miscellany states, that after the belt was tolled lor the death of a child of Jacob Deiberts, of that place, some doubts being entertained of its death, the child was placed in w arm water and restored to conscious ness. Henry Shearer, of Spring Run, Franklin county, was found dead a few weeks ago, about a mile from his residence. He had gone out on Friday morning on a gunning excursion, and is supposed to have taken sick and froze to death. NEW COUNTERFEITS. —New $2 Harrisburg Relief Notes—counterfeits of the new plate have made their appearance in Philadelphia. The engraving of the margin on the left end is imperfectly and coarsely executed, but is weli calculated to deceive. Wm. H. Graham, of Detroit, brother of the publisher of Graham's Magazine, had his leg broken by a fall on the ice, a few days before Christinas, and on the night of the latter day his store was destroyed by lire, with his whole stock of books. PENNSYLVANIA WHEATCHOPIBSO. —'THE wheat crop of Pennsylvania, in 1850, was the greatest in the Union. The returns were as follows: Pennsylvania, 15.432,491 bushels; Ohio, 14,- 057.056 ; Virginia, 14,516,900; New York, 13- 073,000; Michigan, 4,918,000; Maryland, 4- 498,680.

Thompson, Esq., District Attorney. A party of Gipseys were encamped in the woods near Westminster, Md., oil Saturday and Sunday week, notwithstanding the severe cold weather. They travel in wagons, and never sleep in houses. Trading in horses, for tune telling, and doctoring, appear to be their vocation. I he Zanesviile, Ohio, papers announce the completion of that part of the Central Ohio Kail road between that place and Newark. Zaneaville is thus connected, by railroad, with l'ittsburgb, Cleveland, Sandusky, Columbus and Cincinnati. Pennsylvania Legislature In the Senate, on the 21st, a message was received from Governor Bigler, in forming the Senate that he had signed the bill authorizing the State Treasurer to negotiate a temporary loan of $300,000 to meet the semi-annual interest on the public debt falling due on the firs' of February next. 11l the Senate, on the 22d, the bill au thorizing the Pennsylvania railroad com pany to extend a lateral branch of their road into Westmoreland and Indiana coun ties, was taken up and passed finally.

TIIE SINNERS' PROGRESS. —It has not been generally known that the celebrated author of the Pilgrim's Progress, wrote a counterpart, called the Sinner's Progress, or the Life and Dcatli ot Mr. Badrnan. A new stereotyped edition is now in preparation by the American Baptist Publication Society. The Susquehanna river at Havre de Grace, appears to be one solid biock of ice, supposed to he from ten to lilleen feet thick. A rail road track has been laid across it, and it works admirably. Baggage and freight are carried over on this; the passengers are taken across comfortably on sleighs. It is announced that tiie Austrian Govern ment have granted an amnesty, which includes many Hungarian personages who have always been in discord with Kossuth. Among these is mentioned Count Bathyany, who has resided for some time in Paris, where he enjoys much consideration. We are of tiie same opinion entertained by a Hibernian friend, that tbe present will be a hard, severe winter, "it it keeps cowldall the while." Mankind are very odd creatures. One half censure what they practice, the other half prac tice what they censure. The rest always say and do as they ought. . —w Married. On the 20th inst., by the Rev. S. F. Lilley, Mr. WM .
