CONCERT. —The L>ruid Ilorn-Playcrs intend giving two concerts next week in Lewistown, of a kind that is said to be something decidedly new under the sun. They bring the very Lest recommenda tions from the press, and musical critics, everywhere, and are represented as pro ducing with odd instruments of ancient design,—being neither more nor less than some seventy ox horns, —the sweetes music imaginable. The novelty of the affair xvill doubtless attract large audiences to the Hall—and we are certain that no one who attends their concerts will he disappointed. HF* Our citizens will no doubt be grati fied to learn that the difficulties so long existing between the Borough and Water Company, are at length in a fair way of adjustment. BLUE BIRDS. —An unusual number of these little birds have made their appear ance in this neighborhood during the past week. This is much earlier than usual, and has called forth all sorts of surmises as to the object of these harbingers of spring in visiting our snow-covered lulls. tSF The warm sun brought out a num ber of mosquitoes the other day, who ap peared to be sharpening their stings pre paratory to the usual onslaught made against bipeds and quadrupeds in warm weather. We hope Jack Frost will catch them in one of these pleasure parties, and mete out " blood for blood." The baggage car of the last line (going west) took lire on Friday morning last, near ML \ eytown, and nearly its entire contents, including it is said, the through mails, were consumed. The loss will be heavy, as the car contained the baggage ot forty or fifty passengers. THE PARDONING POWER. —Governor; Bigler has been considered somewhat un fortunate 111 making his appointments, and. from present appearances, he will fare no better 111 exercising the pardoning power, his first act in this respect being the pardon of a notorious Kidnapper, George F. Al berti, of Philadelphia, who was sentenced a year ago to the Eastern Penitentiary for ten years. The Democrat of yesterday, we per ceive, justifies this pardon on the ground that his conviction was owing to the se venty ot Judge Parsons, and says its recollection of the case is ihat Alberti was , sentenced for Kidnapping a slave. This impression is entirely erroneous, the person kidnapped being free in every sense of the woul. E2P Could not "Post Boy," as well Lave furnished his name' and thus en sured attention to his communication. We copy the following notices of Sar tain and Godey from one of our exchanges: SARTAIN'S MAGAZINE, for February, conies before us a very handsome and valuable number Columbus and his Companions attending the first Religious Ceremonies in America, is one of 2artain"s best mezzotints, while the view of the Capitol at Washington, admirably engraved on steel, displays a magnificent architectural pile There are a great many other embellishments, and nearly a hundred pages of reading matter prepared with great care, and written with marked abilitv GOCET presents his LADY'S BOOK for February in excellent taste anil with great beauty.

The appointment of Hon. A J. Ojj!e, <l9 Charge to Denmark, has been confirmed by the •Senate. Aiso, the appointment of Hon John Dickey, as Marshal of the Western District of i'ennsylvania. Wm. Kinney, a citizen of Sparta township, Crawford county, 'ost his life on Friday, the 9th u!t., by the filing of a dead limb from a tree, which struck him on the head, fracturing his ecuii. and apparently deprived him of life in stantly. He was engaged in cutting wood at the time The grocery store of Messrs. Ear, and the Machine Shop of Mr De.vs-iss, in Market street, corner of Fifth, Harrisburg, was entirely /consumed by fire, on Wednesday morning last Pennsylvania Railroad. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Haiload C ompany ! was held at Philadelphia on Monday last. From it we learn that the receipts from the stock in payment of instalments amounted j j to iftH.lo3.dos, and the disbursements to $7,973,089.82 ; lea\ ing a balance of $ 125,- 375.18. The interest accounts, it is stated exhibit results equally gratifying. Of un conditional subscriptions to the stock, the : total amount is $8,326,050, and the con tingent subscriptions amount to $750,000. The subscription by the corporation ot i the Northern Liberties is $250,000, and ; the stock payable to contractors amounts !to the same,' viz : $250,000. Thus the aggregate ol all subscriptions to the stock is $0,576,000. To till up the capital stock to the present limit, the report states I that a further subscription of stock will be necessarv to the amount ot $123,050. The cost of a single track from Harris bur* to Pittsburg is estimated at $12,000,- 000, and an additional track is estimated to cost $3,600,000. In August last, a section of the Western Division of the road, extending from Eatontown to Lock port, a distance ol twenty-one miles, was opened; the whole of that division is now in use, through its entire length, except from Beatty's Station to Turtle Creek, in Westmoreland county, a distance ot twen- tv-eiglit miles. The report states that the Board con fidently anticipate the completion of the whole of the road, to be ready for use before the close ol the navigation in the year 1853. To do this, however, the stock of the Company, it is stated, must be increased, or a debt incurred to the amount ol about $6,000,000; and as the whole policy of the Board, since the com mencement, has been, and is, in opposition to the incurring debt, they recommend that an application he made to the State Legislature for authority to make such an increase ol the stock of the Company as may he necessary for this purpose. The election for Directors was held on the same dav. and resulted as follows: TICKET. William C. Patterson, 22,464 Samuel V. Merrick, 22,578 ; Thomas T. Lea,* 45,922 James C. Hand, 25,421 David S.

On Saturday, the 21th tilt., a young man employed in a saw mill near YVilliauisport, had his head partly severed from his body, by (ail ing on a Circular Saw, while in motion. He is still living,and may recover. Baltimore appears to exhibit a steady and rapid growth, denoting wealth and prosperity. In the post year there were eighteen hundred and fifteen brick houses built in that city, and assessed at over two million three hundred thousand dollars. SAD OCCURRENCE —We regret to learn that James I)err, residing in Lewis township, in this county, was found dead lying on a lime kiln, which was in blast near his residence on Saturday morning last. A box was found near the top of the kiln, upon which, it is supposed he was sitting the evening before, and being overcome with gas, fell into tiie kiln and ex pired He was about 35 years of age, of tem perate habits, and lelt a wife and four small children to mourn their loss.— Miltonian. Fox MEAT.— We learn that a few days ago, a person residing in Madison township, killed a large fox. While skinning the animal, some children came along, to whom, in jest, he rep resented that it was a fawn he had just killed, and presented them with a hind quarter, which was taken home by them, and prepared lor the table by their parents. Soon afterwards all who had partaken of the meat became very sick, so much so that medical advice had to he procured. Since then they have all recovered. Danville Democrat. THE WHEELING BRIDGE CASE DECIDED.— The U. S. Supreme Court has at length made a decision in the case of the State of Pennsyl vania, against the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Company, which is t nfavorable to the company, seeming to sustain, as it does, the al legation that the bridge is an obstruction to the navigation ot the Ohio river. The court have decreed that the bridge, as an obstruction to navigation, should be removed, or solar elevat ed as to be no obstruction to the smoke pipes and rriastsuf the river craft. SHOCKING TRAGEDY. —On the 20th ult., a man named Samuel Scott, residing in Ashe county, S. C , near the Virginia line, who had been confined in jail as a lunatic, and only dis charged a few days before, rose from his? bed about midnight, armed himself with a cutting knife, and fell upon his father and mother, with whom lie lived, and instantly killed them both, horrib'y mangling their bodies, lie then start ed off' to the house ot his brother, informed him what he had done, and coolly propose?! to s:end for a coroner.

At the tune of the revolution lie held a Lieutenant's commission under the British Government, being then in the 10th year of his age. He never renounced his allegiance to England, and died a subject and pensioner of the Queen Eor the last fifty years he has resided in this place, and to him are the people mainly in debted for the principal improvements ot Pike county, and more particularly of the village of Milford. He was always foremost in every public enterprise. Being a great reader, he acquired a fund of general information sur passed bv none. He was perfectly familiar with the aifairs of our Government, ar.d was warmly attached to our institutions. His talents were of the highest order, and but for his alienation from our country, he would un doubtedly have filled high places of trust and confidence, lie died universally respected.— Correspondent of the Sew York Tribune.

The fire broke out iu the .Senate Chamber, about half past 3 o'clock, and before the flames could be reached, the heat became so intense as to drive the firemen and others to such a distance as to render all efforts to save the building unavailing.

The steamer Washington, loaded with pig iron from Pittsburgh, was cut to pieces by the ice a hundred miles below here, and sunk in deep water. The boat and cargo will be a total loss. There is a tine stage of water in the river and still rising. The river is full of ice, but steam ers are arriving and departing hourly, and busi ness is brisk. COLUMBUS, (O.)

The Parliament opens on the 3d of February, when the Queen will be present in person. The present Cabinet will face their difficulties with out further modification. The London Times expresses the confident belief that the Russell Cabinet cannot survive through the session. The Peelites peremptorily refuse a1 i overtures for a coalition. The Tunes says nothing can save the Cabinet, unless modified on a broad and liberal basis. .Sir Henry Smith, the Commander at the Cape of Good Hope, has been superseded by General Cathcart. The appointment of the new Deputy-Lieuten ant of the Tower has not proved satisfactory in England. So settlement lias taken place between the Operative Engineers and their employers, and iti consequence, thirty-six firms have closed their business, throwing at least ten thousand men out of employment. A compromise will probably be efl'ected. The. Crystal Palace iius been entirely cleared of its contents. It was thought likely in London that Clanri carile wouid replace Normanby as Ambassador to France. Lord Normanby had arrived in England from Paris. A subscription was being made throughout England, for the benefit of the widows and or phans of those lost by the burning of the steam er Amazon. The Queen has contributed £l5O, and $50,000 would probably be raised. .Mr. Crosky, the I'nitcd States Consul at Southamp ton, has addressed a letter to the Mayor of .New S ork, suggesting that subscriptions be taken up there also, for the same purpose. The London News of ttie 12th of January, speaking iu relation to the Prometheus, says that the British Government vv ill express to the t'abi j net at Washington,in frank and manly terms,their regret at what has occurred, and testify in a marked mariner their disapprobation of the ag gressor's conduct. That matter may, therefore, be considered as amicably settled. The President of the French Republic has is sued a decree dissolving the National Guards throughout the Republic; but it is to be reor ganized when the government may deem it ne cessary for the maintenance of public order. In such cases the President will appoint command ers, colonels, and lieutenant-colonels. It was expected that Louis Napoleon would soon declare himself Emperor; but it was felt that such a step would not add to the despotic power he now exercises. The Mark Lane Corn Market was very firm on the 14th, with an advancing tendency. Barley had advanced one shilling. Flour sells less readily at last week's advance. Floating car -1 goes of wheat and corn held at an advance of 6d. to Is. American ilour is held one shilling higher. FRANCE. —A large number of persons had been sent by the government to the pestilent swamps of Cayenne. Decrees had been issued banishing Victor Hugo and six hundred and twenty representatives of the mountains from the territory of France, Algeria and the Colo nies. Eor reasons affecting the public security, the temporary banishment of the following persons from France and Algeria, had been decreed, viz: Generals Changarnier, Lumoricierc and Bedeau, MM. Thiers, Girardin and twelve oth ers. The Generals named above had been re leased from the Forttess of Ham, and escorted to the frontier. I A conspiracy had been discovered for freeing the convicts iu the hulks at tiochefort. Arrests continue to be made in all parts of France, and a virtual Reign of Terror had been established.
