We have never been •"ailed on to record an occurrence in our neighborhood, more truly heart-rending, than the destruction by fire or. last Friday night, of the house of Mr. David Hoke, situated about two rniies from the town on the Carlise road—with the loss of two of his children, who perished in the flames. it seems that about II o'clock one of Mr. Hoke's sons, a youth of about 17, who slept up stairs with four other children, was awakened by a senc of heat and sutFocation, and on look ing around and observing an unusual light, ran to a door communicating with the head of the stairs to ascertain the. cause, when, to his horror, he discovered the house on fire. The fire had progressed so far, and the whole of the stair way was so completely enveloped in flames, that it was impossible for the children to escape in any other manner than by jumping out of the windows. Those who were asleep were immediately aroused and the situation of things explained The eldest boy then jump, d out, and was followed by the two next in size, who w ere caught by him, as they fell to the ground, hut, uuioriunately, in the hurry and excitement of the moment, the precaution of placing a support under the window was not thought of. so that when the youngest children (a little girl of about seven and a buy of four years of age) attempted to escape, they were unable to get the window up. It had fallen as the third child leaped from the room. In the meantime Mr. and Mrs. iloke and others who slept below, were aroused to witness a scene the most ago niz.ing of which the mind can conceive. A lad der was immediately procured and placed against the wall to assist the children in their frantic efforts to escape, but it broke to pieces as Mr. Hoke attempted to mount it, and before another could be found, the whole room was thoroughly on fire, and it was evident that the little sufferers had already perished. The little girl was the last seen at the window, im ploring assistance while her hair and clothes were actually on fire. Truly this was a sight of horror never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it. The remains of the children were almost utterly consumed. Although the destruction of the building with the whole of its contents was complete, we un derstand that the pecuniary loss of .Mr. Hoke is not so great as was at first supposed. It is not correct that a large amount of money was de stroyed in the house. Mr. Hoke happened to have but little about him at the time of the fire. llanovtr Spectator, 14. TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACC IDENT NEAR WATER TOWN, NEW YORK. —The following particulars of a terrible tragedy on the Railroad are copied from the Watertown Journal: It appears that a company of nine persons— two married men with their wives, and five young ladies—thought to amuse themselves by an evening's ride from the manor to Sandy Creek, on a hand-car, after, as they supposed, the last regular train for the day had passed. After running about half a mile, and as they j were turning a curve in the road, they were inet j by a locomotive and tender, which was backing j up from the creek to the manor. The unfortunate occupants of (he hand-car ! had but a moment's warning, ami that moment j served only to paralize the ladies with fear, j One of the men seized his wife and the other one his wife and one of the young ladies, and sprang from the ear. The other four were on the car when the collision took place : three of them were thrown under the locomotive and crushed to death, and the other was found mor- ! tally wounded by a blew which she received in the forehead. The awfully mangled remains of the bodies were picked up and brought back to the mcnor, to those friends who had joyously parted with them but a few moments before ; but the wail of woe went up where the sounds of joy had been. As near as we can ascertain them this morn ing, the names of the young ladies killed, were: Miss Right, of Oswego, and Miss Williamson. Miss Allen, and Miss Andres, of Pierrepont manor. We cannot say that any particular blame can be attached to the engineer, Mr. D. Smith, although he regrets not having raided a light sooner, as he should have done ; but as they were coming on to Watertown, he deferred fitting up a light until they should reach the manor. The party were warned against going on the track, by the station master, as some special train or locomotive might be upon the road—which, most unfortunately and unexpect edly, proved to be the case. HORRIBLE DEATH. —Between 7 and 8 o'clock, yesterday morning, Mr. John F. Burns, a grocer, residing at No. 55 Ross street, corner of St. Mary's, died from poison communicated to Ins system by a diseased horse. About two weeks since, it appears that the deceased had a horse alHicted with glanders, and during an adminis tration of medicine, thrust his hand in the ani mal's mouth, the middle finger of which had been previously cut, and the flesh laid open. Through this wound the poisonous virus was ab sorbed and mortification having supervened, Prof. Smith, a day or two since was called upon to amputate the diseased member. Perceiving, however, says the Argus, that the poison had penetrated to every portion of the unfortunate man's system, the professor declined performing the operation, and stated that no earthly skill could save his life. After lingering iti great ag ony, death kindly closed the scene of suffering. Baltimore San of the IJ/k inst. M MM——————— 1 —,l IRON. BLtr k-mif lis and Others. Look to Your In terests !

Address of the Wlilg State Committee. The Whigs of Pennsylvania, profoundly sen sible of the importance of the great political struggle they are about to enter, beg leave re- I spectfully to submit, through their State Central ! Committee, to their fellow Whigs of the Union, ; a statement of their position, and their reasons ; for maintaining it: j As Pennsylvania has never yet cast her electo -1 ra! vote in vain, and as she is likely to become, as heretofore, the arbiter of the contest, and, of consequence, the battle ground, it is proper for those who have the best means to know the I ground and its circumstances, to impart their knowledge candidly arid honestly to their breth ren of the same faith and party. The history of the past fully establishes the falsity of the proposition that republics are un- j grateful. The memories of Washington, Jack- , son, Harrison and Taylor, teach us that the j American Republic lias never yet been ungrate ful to those who have led iier armies, defended ; her rights, and adorned her name with an imper- ; ishable renown. This is in accordance with the j nature of man—in accordance with a noble and I ' generous impulse. And as long as human hearts I are constituted as now, the man who has denied i himself the comforts of home—foregone the > pleasures of wealth—invested the strength of j iiis bodj' and the powers of his mind—risked j health and life in ttie defence of his country — will always receive at the hands of bis fellow citizens the highest earthly honors and rewards j when the opportunity otters to confer them. In fidelity to the Constitution, and in grati tude to its defenders, Pennsylvania acknowl edges 110 superior. Within the broad limits ol this great Democratic Empire there is to be I found no Commonwealth more loyal and patri- j otic. And while it is very certain that no man who is not true to the Constitution in all its i parts and the Union in its integrity, can stand j even the shadow of a chance to obtain her elec toral vote—it is equally certain that no man, i whig or demoetat, iia. so much the confidence and affection of her people as W INFIELD SCOTT. | Our adversaries know this, and most earnestly and bitterly deprecate his nomination, But we are aware thai if they had the good lortune to ! possess such a candidate, there would be no di vided counsels among them in regard to his ; nomination. If Gen. Scott belonged to the j ranks of the enemy, instead of being an honest, j brave, and reliable whig, the first Baltimore Con vention would nominate liim by acclamation. Shall we be less wise than our adversaries ? Shall we sacrifice the victory that stretches out before us? Shall we suffer the whig banner to trail again in defeat, arid the Capitol of the Na tion to be once more entirely given up to those whose principles are, in our opinion, opposed to its prosperity and its greatness ? The, decision rests with the Whig National Convention. And while we pledge ourselves to an iione*t. zealous, and enthusiastic support of the nomi nee of that convention, whoever he mav be: for we are accustomed to look above the stand ard bearer to the standard ; we inost kindlv and earnestly entreat our fellow whigs to remember that in Pennsylvania, the battle ground, the name of Bcott is as invulnerable as on the battle fields of Mexico. But though he is the choice of her 2L)O,t)O(J whigs and ol thousands of her demo crats. we will -cave unmade no efl'ort, however fruitless, and unexerted no inlluence, however barren of victory, in behalf of either of his great competitors. Our only inquiry shall he, Is he a whig? Is he true to the Constitution ? Of Millard Fillmore, the patriotic and dis tinguished gentleman who now so creditably oc cupies the loftiest oliicial position on the earth, as whigs we are proud. Of Daniel Webster, whose fame is not even limited by the bounds of civilization—w ho, as orator and statesman, stands almost without a rival iri the world—peerless and unapproacha ble in the might and splendor of his genius—us Americans we are prouil. His name shall be handed down as a boast and heritage to our children. But even for these great and glorious Whigs we are unv.illing to hazard the triumph of our greater and more glorious principles ; for that we conceive to be of infinitely more conse quence than the political fortunes of an* man, however good, able, or distinguished he may be. Small, indeed, becomes the destiny of the individual in comparison with the welfare of the Republic. if ith \\ infield Scott, the Whigs of the Uni ted States can achieve a certain and easy vic tory. With any other candidate it might be considered doubtful, if not desperate. Not be cause the \\ hig party as a National party, is the weaker, but because, in the present nicely balanced condition of the parties, it is difficult tor either to be victorious in two successive contc-sts. \\ e repeat, certain and eusii victory. For the people believe, with a unanimity un precedented, that he cannot be beaten. And this state of tiie public mind insures the suit, a* any one knows who is at all skilled in political events. And who shall say that Winfield Scott is not fit for the high station to which we would ele vate him ; Has any single important act of his , life evinced a want of ability ; \\ ho shall say that the commanding genius, who has rais.-d hi- name to the loltiest rank among the immor tal names of earth, will not prove equal to any position or any crisis that may an-e in the civil afiairs of men? Do the humbled battlements of Vera Cruz—the stormed heights of the Mexi can mountains—or the American Hag waving in triumph over a conquered empire, attest this want ol ability? We have history and lame to answer! In view of the important contest we are about to enter, and for the sake of cherished princi ples lor which we have so long contended, side by side, under one banner, and with otic battle cty, the Whigs of Pennsylvania call upon trie Whigs of the United Stales, (for thev know , neither North nor .South) to unite wilh'lhem in another mighty and successful efl'ort to over throw again and forever the pernicious princi j pies of their common adversary.

These spiral twisted car bonised Rods are light half inch in ten feet lengths, perfectly screwed together, with brass sockets, and put up through glass insulators in a j most substantial manner—the whole mounted ' with a solid silver plated copper point, that will re main bright as long as the Rod stands. In this connection we would simply remark that a rusty steel or iron point can be of no use on a Light ning Rod, for the plain reason that they answer j no end that would not be accomplished simply ; ;by sharpening the end of the Rod. One of the j | proprietors being himself a practical Chemist ; and Electrician, would assute the public that these improved Rods are manufactured and put |up on scientific principles. We deem the im- j [ portant fact that over six hundred thousand feet of these celebrated Rods have been sold in one I season, a sufficient recommendation ; neverthe- , ! less we have numerous certificates from promi nent persons, speaking in the highest termsof ' their utility. Our teams are traversing all parts of the coun- i i try with all the uecessary apparatus for putting i up Rods at once. We can be seen at Hamaker's Hotel, in Lew istown. Pedlars will find it greatly to tneir in | terest to call on us, as we are prepared to sell to them on accommodating terms. REYBURN& BAKER. 1 Lewistown, May 7, 1852. (D) Boats Ready for the Canal !
