The former w< re favorably known j ns attentive agents o: the railroad, anJ will w itii out question prove qually attentive to business , in their present pur- lit. The Frank'in Fire Insurance Company publish i their annual states lent th.-week. I ids com- | pany deserved!'.' enjoys a high reputation for its piomptness in liquidating losses by fire. Gen. II C.'HAI.E is Agent for this county. One of our citizens is anxious to go to Cali fornia, and otiers himself " lor rent. Mr. ZERBS has taken the stand formerly oc- ; copied by Clark &. Zerbe. where he. intends con tinuing the carriage making business in all its branches. Persons in want of carriages of any kind will do well by giving hitn a call—work good, neat, and faithful, and cash prices most reasonable.

ANOTHER BUCHANAN UELIHATE. —The democratic conferees of this senatorial dis trict met at Adamsburg on Friday last. \ and unanimously nominated Col. 11. C. EVER as Senatorial delegate to lite 4th of ■ March convention, but did not unanimously pass a resolution of instructions in favor of j ten-cent jimmy, the Mill!in delegation {Win. T. Burns, J. L. Mcllvaine, and Z. Rittenhouse) having voted nay. A reso- | lotion was also unanimously adopted in i favor of Jack Cummings for Carial Com missioner, from which fact it may be in ferred that Jesse R. Crawford, Esq., who : was last year endorsed by the Mitflin county convention for that olfice, has been ' thrown overboard. VST The Huntingdon Globe snvs that - two democratic members from this State, Messrs. Curtis and Barker, voted for .Mr. Welch's motion to increase the duty on iron, &c. This is an error. Andrew 1 Parker, the -member from this district, was not in his seat when the vote was taken. The Mr. Parker who did vote ave on the < question was SAMUEL W. PARKER, of In- j diina, a true and tried whig. _L i 3° We see it stated tiut the fare on the Pennsylvania Railroad is to be reduced to ( 2i cents per mile after the first of March : next. Wonder whether Lew is town sta- ; tion will be an exception to the rule, as it was crcs before ? Beefsteaks are only ten cents per pound at present iu our market-—bones in ] proportion. . i _ ■ ] V AM:ABLE MAP. — We examined a few j , days since a new and beautiful map ol Isoitil America jusi published by .Mr. J Monk, of Baltimore. It is gnt up with much taste, is accurately engraved, and , embraces full details, so far as known from t government surveys and other authentic ; s Mis-i-sippi and Pacific Ocean, including 1 California, Oregon, Uah, &c M heretofore ! f so vaguely described on imps , and full - ! and accurate outlines of tiie Allan.ic Suites, Mexico, Central America, Canada, d:c., ' with the various routes to trie gold regions I both by sea and laud. A marginal table gives all the counties and county towns in the Union, and a Map of the World, on Ivlercater's projection, occupies 3 corner— thus aflording on a single sheet a greater amount of authentic information than has yet been published in that form. An agent is now soliciting subscriptions, and as he lias a copy of the map with him, we re commend our readers to give it an exarr.i nalion. A copy of the American Railway Guide is furnished with the map. Pennsylvania Legislature.

GP'We had one of the most brilliant ex- 1 hibitions of the Aurora Borealis, about ten o'clock last evening, that we remember to have seen for a number of venrs. At that time ihe flashes of light were incessant, reaching far into the zenith, and forminga variety of shades and forms that defy de scription. For the Lew imottn Gazette. j MR. FRY SINGER—WiII you or some one else ' having information on the subject, have the kindness to inform the writer, through the Ga- \ zettc, whether an Election Board, when they discover (as is almost invariably the case) that their labors, in consequence of the number of votes polled, are, of necessity, going to be ex tended far into the night, if not a considerable distance into the coming morning, may not ad journ at the time the polls are closed and defer ■he completion of their arduous or thankless labors, till the following day; or if not, may '.hey not claim and exact ari additional com pensation, in proportion to the time they are ' engaged beyond the ordinary limits that circuit!- j senile the laborer's day. An answer to the above queries, would not only be a favor to the writer, but to many more, w ho are forced to complain, when they have to take a part in the duties of an election board, tor one day only, which has (except in certain < localities) no definite limits, and that, for the i paltry pittance o! one dollar and fifty cents, j and which, befon it is oolained, is often earned a second time. p p Y\ u v\ ili try 3iitl answer ihese questions next week.

DOTLESTOWN, Feb. 11. —A young man, aged about 125 years, of dark complexion, shot him self at 2 o'clock this afternoon, under the fol lowing circumstances :—He stopped last night at a tavern in Fisherville, and said that he had been robbed in that neighborhood ol SSOO. This morning he stated he had no money, and gave contradictory accounts of himself. 11c said he was from Trumbull county, Ohio, and had prac ticed as a physician. He had with him a horse and waori, and a buffalo robe, but refused to sell the property, lie watched his op portunity to get on the Faslon stage, when he was followed to this place and detained, but not arrested. He asked the privilege of going to the water closet, where he unbuttoned his vest, and deliberately shot himself through the heart with a pistol. He was genteelly clad, and wore a gold ring, with the initials C. M. K.,and gave his name as Francis Savaite. The Coroner held an inquest upon the body, when a verdict of self-destruction was rendered. The deceased had black hair and goatee, and was dressed in a black sack coat and black sur tout, blue silk vest, and cross-barred casimere pants. On his person were a pair of green spectacles, a double-barreled pistol, one barrel being still loaded with ball. He had also a dirk knife, plain silver watch, gold finger ring, with the initials C. F. R., a red port monaie, with $1.75 in cash. In his valise was a lot of shoemaker's tools, several articles of wearing apparel, a white Jenny Hind slouch hat, and also a black oil cloth cap. The wagon that he left at Fisherville, where he put up last night, is a light rockaway, attached to which is a brown mare, 6 years old, with yellow plated harness, and the letters S. fc>. on the blinkers. It is sup posed the horse and wagon had been either hired or stolen. The deceased had stated that he lived for about two years at a place called Girard, in Ohio, ami was on hiz way to Salem, New Jer sey. The name of P Seubean was written on the sleeve of his coat. [lt has since been ascertained that (he deceas ed belonged to Picks county —his name Joseph Sechler ] A YOUNG LADT KILLED BY A RAILROAD CAR. —A young lady, yesterday, standing on the Bath track, at Brunswick, waiting for the Kennebec train to pass, was killed immediately, by the Bath train backing over her. The whole train passed over her, except the engine. Her name was Lincoln, the daughter of widow Lincoln, of Brunswick, about eighteen years old, anJ very beautiful. Her body was horribly mangled. We are indebted to Mr. Daniel C. Mower, of the Eastern express, for this sad information. There was another lady standing with .MLs Lincoln, but she saw the train in time to escape. These repeated accidents should prove a lesson to peo ple to keep off the railroad track.-!.— Portland (Ale ) jlrgus, lOf A inst. •J Wife hilling Her Husband's Hssailart.—A few days ago, a man named McKimmich went to the house of John R. Sisk, a neighbor, near Marietta, Ohio, and, telling him he intended to Will him, snapped a pistol at his breast three times; and finding it would not go off, he threw him down and commenced beating hint over the head with it. Sbkaitd his wife both cried mur der, and finally Mrs. SLk seized a chair and struck McKimmich over the head, fracturing his scull so bad that he died in a few minutes. The coroner's jury immediately acquitted her. Mr. Hiram Wilcox, of Dayton. Ohio, in as sisting, about two weeks ago, to take a drunken loafer to jail, was bit by him, on one of his fingers. He paid but little attention to it, until a few days subsequent it became swollen and painful, with every appearance of erysipelas The ordinary remedies in such cases were ap plied, hut the inflammation spread rapidly from the hand to the arm, and finally to the body— growing worse and worse, until mortification put an end to his life. EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA. —The California mania is apparently as great now as it was two or three years ago. The rush of passengers is so great that the steamers are engaged full, for more than two months ahead, arid large numbers are preparing to go by sailing vessels around Cape Horn. Two ships have just been taken up to go in ballast, at S2U'I for first cabin, and 160 for second cabin passengers. A schooner had also been taken up, to carry out 40 passen gers, without cargo.—A*. Y. Mirror. A horse thief named Clay, recently arrested in Tippah county, Miss., and who turned States' evidence against his associates in iniquity, re vealed the fact that horse-stealing is now re duced to science, and the master, salesman, striker, runner and stealer, constitute the dif ferent degrees of order. In his disclosures, he confessed himself to belong to a gang of horse thieves, who operate from the Tombigbee, through Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. Charles Lenox, of Cambridge, Mass., a col ored man, and for many years past, the porter at the Old Har\ard, dropped down dead at his residence in Cambridge a few days since. He was about 60 years of age, and leaves to his family a fortune of about $20,000. A man, by the name of Burlingame, a resident of McKeau county, positively asserts that he saw Geo. VV. Babb in Cincinnati, in December last, and had a long conversation wilh him. This is the person who disappeared from Clinton county some months since, and was supposed to have been murdered. Accounts from Rome announce that a monster ! trial had recently taken place in that city, in i which fifty-four prisoners were arraigntd for be ing concerned in robbing the Assay-oflice three 1 years ago. They were all condemned to the galleys for various periods. ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDEK ! Important to Dyspeptics —-f>r. J. S. HOUGHTON'S 1 PEPSIN.
