PORTRAIT PAINTING.—Mr. ATWOOD,
Nvho was selected to proceed to Mexico to
take a portrait of (Jen. Taylor, and has
attained a high reputation as a faithful and
correct painter, has been spending some
weeks in this place, during which time he
lias painted a number of portraits of ladies
and gentlemen, as well as some children,
which need but be seen to be recognized
—thus proving that tltev are true to na
ture. He purposes remaining a few weeks
longer, and should any of our readers de
sire to see themselves years hence as they
were "in other days," \Ce would advise
them by all means to give Mr. A.a call.
and examine those now receiving the
finishing touches of his pencil.
A large portrait of (Jen. Scott, bv the
snme painter, now in the side roont of the
Levvistown Hotel, created a desire in the
iniuds of some of our citizens to retain it
—and the project has accordingly been
Ftarted to purchase it by subscriptions of
50 cents per share, nnd dispose of it by
lot (in fact being an " Art Union" on a
small scale.) The list is now open, and
as the number of shares is limited, an
early subscription will be necessary.
Captain T. F. Mi COY delivered a Lec
ture before the Apprentices Literav So
ciety, on the 14th insant, on Our Country,
i;i which he portrayed its advantages for
intellectual developement, moral improve
ment and social duties, and otherwise han
dled his subject with marked ability.
We leant that Mr. Haupt lias made
an arrangement with the Canal Commis
sioners by which railroad cars are allowed
to carry 16,000 lbs. freight, being an in
crease of 3000 lbs. This will in a meas
ure relieve the station here of a large
quantity of freight that had accumulated
in consequence of the want of cars.
CZT Governor Bigier is trying his hand
at vetoing. Thus far the game has been
small—we shall know better how he can
shoot when some monsters come before
him in the shape ol banks and corpora
tions.
A CIIANOE FOR BARGAINS! —Our tailors

GRAHAM'S MAOAZIXF. for March has
more than a hundred pages of literary
matter from the pens of James and others
ot a similar calibre, included in which tire
several dishes of popper and salt from
Graham himself, it is embellished with
sundry wood cuts and tv.o or three steel
engravings, which most folks would call
very tine, and taken altogether is as comely
and readable a volume as we have looked
ever for some months. Any person de
sirous of getting it by mail, will please
call on the editor of the Gazette—if other
wise, go to Cogiey and buy it.

Tin: MA INK LICICOR LAW, which at pre
sent engrosses public attention in a num
ber of States, provides —
That no spirituous or intoxicating li
quors. or an) mixed liquors a part °1 w Inch is
spirituous or intoxicating, shall be manufactured
or sold as a beverage in the State at Manic, un
der a heavy penalty _
oj That an agent, receiving a fixed salary,
shall be appointed in each town or township in
the State, to sell such liquors for medicinal and
mechanical purposes only.
3d.—That no person engaged in the unlawful
traffic in intoxicating liquors, shall be compe
tent to sit upon a jury in any ease arising under
the act.
4th.—That liquors may be searched for and
seized on complaint of any three persons,
voters, who are willing to make oath that they
have reason to believe that spirituous liquors are
kept or deposited and intended for sale by
persons not authorised to sell the same, —that is,
bv the person appoiuted in each city and town
as aforesaid.
sth.—That all contracts for liquor sold in
violation of law shall be utterly null and void.
These are the main provisions of the
law, which in the whole comprises seven
teen sections, providing against even pos
sible case of evasion, and instituting heavy
penalties for violation of its enactments.
The great light between the teetotallers and
liquor dealers and their adherents will un
questionably be fought on the basis ol this
law, and we shall not be surprised if it
comes oil much sooner than anticipated,
appearances indicating a most determined
eli'ort on the part of temperance men to
enlist in their favor everything that will
conduce to the advantage ol the stand
taken.
CANAL COMMISSIONER. —The whig pa
pers in the eastern counties pretty general
iv recommend JACOB HOFFMAN, Esq., of
Heading, while in this section and west
ward YYJI. M. LLOYD, of Hollidavshurg,
is spoken of in most commendable terms,
and it is probable one of these two gentle
men w ill he selected by the whig conven
tion as their candidate for Canal Commis
sioner.
\\ e heard it seriously stated a few days
agothatJack Cummiugs, of Union eounlv,
would probably be the nominee of the lo
cofoeo convention for canal commissioner.
If so, and should lie be elected, the tax
payers of this Ntate may well exclaim,
•• Cod save the Commonwealth !"
Two Whig meetings were held in Union
county last week, for the purpose of ap

Middleswarth as Senatorial Delegate, and
the others Dr. Isaac Hothroek and Henry
S. Buyer, with instructions to support
Col. Slifer as Senatorial and Major Sharon
as Representative Delegate. Juniata coun

The Canal Board, at their meeting on
Tuesday, passed a resolution directing su
pervisors to have the main line open on
the 12th of March.
By a recent vote in the House of Kepiesenta
tives, touching the banking system, many per
sons are alarmed lest the targe democratic ma
jority in that branch ol the Legislature may not
prove to be as democratic as they sliould be.— :
Clearfield Republican.
There need be no alarm on this subject,
as the "democracy" v. ill no doubt do as
they have always done before, namely',
pass any number of bank bills, and then
charge them to the wings.

The Rev. 1). Y. MCLEAN, I). 1)., Presi
dent of Lafayette College, at Easton, in
this State, delivered a lecture on Edu
cation in the Presbyterian Church on
Monday evening last, which is spoken of
by the audience in attendance as an able
effort in behalf of the fountain of knowl
edge, truth, and science. We have not
room to follow the reasoning by which he
clearly demonstrated that the objections
often urged against colleges were founded
in error, nor the close argument by which
he showed that education was essentially
necessary to the rising generation, whether
for the service of God or theircountrv, and
we therefore proceed to notice his project
for enabling persons of moderate means
to secure a collegiate education for their
sons or others whom they may select.
To effect this, Dr. MCLEAN had proposed
to the Trustees, through the Executive
Comtnitleee, the following plan for the
permanent endowment of the institution
under his charge, which had been adop
ted, and is now in a fair way of being ac
complished :
1. (Jilt hundud dollars paid shall entitle the
subscriber to the tuition of alt his sons, without
further charge, in the College proper ; or, in
stead of his own sons, those of any family iic
may designate: and for every additional hun
dred dollar? which the same individual may pay,
tie shall have the privilege of designating the
sons of any family he may think proper to re
ceive tuition in the College, as above.
2 Five hundred dollars paid by an individual,
an association of individuals, or by a congrega
tion, shall entitle the individual, association or
session of tiie church or congregation to a per
petual scholarship, to which the party may ap
point any individual they may select—and the
scholarship may be devised by will as any other
property. The incumbents on any of the schol
arships to be subject, of course, to all the rules
and regulations of the College, as well as the
discipline.
3. No subscription shall be binding until the
sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOE
LARS has been actually subscribed, at which
time all subscriptions shall be due and payable,
and shall draw interest until collected. Upon
the payment of the subscriptions, scrip will be
issued, which may be transferable as other pro
perty, as above specified. The funds invested,
to be secured by bond and mortgage on unin
cumbered real estate, or other good and suffi
cient security.
4. The Trustees bind themselves and their
sucessors, that the funds thus contributed '•hall
never be used for purposes inconsistent with the
views of christian truth as now entertained by
the Synod of Philadelphia in connection with
the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United Sates.
Front this it will be seen that any young
man who could induce a friend or relative
to advance SIOO for a subscription, and
with the will to acquire knowledge, could
ensure a thorough education at a very
small expense—the charge for board,
being extremely low.
DISTRESSING CASUALTY.—A young man named
John Hoffman, the foreman at "the steam saw mill
of Mr. John Taylor, near Tyrone, Blair county,
was killed on Wednesday night lust, by being
caught in the machinery. He had started the
engine, and discovering that the shaft was be
coming heated, he went to it and was standing
pouring water on it, when a key caught in the
pocket of his coat, and wound him around it.
If the engine could have been stopped immedi
ately, his life might have been saved ; but the
oth'r hands present, although they knew how it
could he doue, had not the presence of mind to
take the right way to effect it, and before he
could he relieved he was so much mangled that
he died in twenty-nine hours. Two physicians
were called, but they could do nothing for him.
Mr. Taylor was absent when the melancholy af
fair occurred. — Huntingdon Journal
ALBAVT, Feb. 23.—I.ast night a party of twen
ty-one policemen started from here and proceed
ed to Berne, among the Helderbrrg mountains,
for the purpose of arresting the ringleaders of
the Anti-Rent rioters, who tarred and feathered
F. M. Fish, Deputy Sheriff, last April. The po
lice were all fully armed, and on reaching the
place about 4 o'clock this morning, forced an en
trance into a house, w here they found the two
Turners concealed, and arrested them without
resistance. As they were returning, however,
the Anti-Rent war cry was sounded, and a large
party of the Anti-Reuters was soon in pursuit.
Some distance from the house, the police en
countered a barricade, which had been thrown
across the road to stop their progress, and be
hind which the Anti-Renters were stationed in
considerable numbers. As the police ap
proached, the Anti-renters demanded the imme
diate release of the prisoners, but, the police
drawing their pistols, ami threatening to use
them, no further -resistance was offered, and
they proceeded on their way, reaching Alhany
safely, with the prisoners, who were committed
to await an examination.

HEALTH. —If [Arsons really knew how neces
sary digestion was to health, they would never
allow dtspepsia to work its inroads upon their
system. We are aware that flatulence is re
garded as a slight matter, and that persons speak
of their stomachs being out of order, and evince
no concern or aiarm ;. still when disease rav
ages their bodies they become wild with fright,
and swallow all the patent nostrums of the day,
in the hope of resuscitating their debilitated
sytenis, and restoring healthy actions of the
various functions. The best medicine to pre
vent all billitary attacks, and restore health to
the system once assailed by disease, is DR. HOOF-
