The proceedings of Congress are somewhat
of the following order. Were both houses
whig instead of locofoco, every locofoco paper

it is, not even a yell is heard from these

THE PEW QUESTION AMONT: THE METHODISTS.
—Yesterday this vexed question was settled
by the General Conference. The various
conflicting clauses of the discipline on the
subject are erased, and a brief advisory pas
sage, recommending free seats, substituted.
The subject occasioned much debate, but was
decided by a strong majority—7o for; 55
against it. This matter now stands as al
ways contended it should stand. Free seats
are advised, and jjewed ones, by implication,
are tolerated. Many of our western brethren
apprehend mischievous results from this
change of the discipline, but they will, we hope,
be agreeably disappointed. Tile new measure
but expresses, we think, the prevalent sen
timent of our people on the subject.— Zinu'.s

Protection from Lightning,
fUHE subscribers are now manufacturing in
Lewistown and Bellefonle their celebrated
LATENT LIGHTNING RODS, warranted su
perior to any in use 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
most substantial maimer—ttie whole mounted
with a ul'ul silver plated copper point, that will re
main bright a- long a-, the Rod stands. In this
connection we would simply remark that a rusty
steel or troll point can be of no use on a Light
ning Rod, for the. plain reason that they answer
no end that would not be accomplished simply
by sharpening the end of the Rod. One of the
proprietors being himself a practical Chemist
and Electrician, would as-ute the public that
these improved Rods are manufactured and put
uip on scientific principles. We deem the im
portant fact that over six hundred thousand feet
of these celebrateJ Rods have been sold in one
season, a suliieient recommendation ; neverthe
less we have numerous certificates from promi
nent persons, speaking in the highest termsof
their utility.
Our teams ate traversing all parts of the coun
try with all the necessary apparatus for putting ,
up Rods at once.
We can be seen at Ilamuker's Hotel, HI Lew- j

PRIVATE SALE.
ITHE undersigned will offtfr for sale his well
known and desirable business stand, situated
on Valley street, Lewistown, known as the
" LEWISTOWN POTTERY."
The advantages this stand has in location, the
facilities it affords for a convenient and ready
market for its i cures, togetlier with its very ex
tensive patronage, tenders it one of the most
desirable in the country.
The WARES manufactured at this establish
ment are far superior to any other in the six
counties, and have a reputation that will ever se
cure the patronage of the public, from the fact
of the material being inexhaustible, and con
nected with the concern by a lease of a number
of years.
The business of Potting has been carried on
successfully at ibis stand by myself and father
for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad
vertisement to prove its advantages as a busi
ness stand. The PERSONAL PROPERTY in
connection with the concern, will also be sold,
if purchasers desire it.
For further information, apply to the under
signed on the premises, or bv mail to Lewistown
P. O.
!dr*The business will be conducted as here
tofore until further notice. All orders prompt
ly attended to, and wholesale merchants allowed
the usual discount upon the delivery of their or

'I he store stand is undoubted! v one of the

els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Milheim, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and Kishacoquillas road
between the store and tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, will largely increase the busi
ness—so that few places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able— being six miles from Lewistown, hut a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
