REYNOLDS has located at McV* vtown for the purpose of practicing med icine. The laying of the earner stone >f the now I.i tli tan and German Reformed Church, at Yeag rtov.'ii, will take place on the 14th at id 13th August. The stockholders of the Lewistown and Tusearora Bridge Company have declared a dividend of 5 p?r cent, for the last six months. PETEK CURI XEANA. West Market street, one door west of the Red Lion Hotel, continues to manufacture boots and shoes of every de scription with neatness and dispatch. See advertisement. Fair for the Benefit of the Lutheran Church. The Ladies who have been assiduously la boring for some time in getting up useful and ornamental articles, have determined to hold a fair during August Court, for the purpose of disposing of their stock—the proceeds ot which will be applied to rebuilding the Lu theran Church. They have now a fine assort ment, front the sale of which, if their expec tations are at all realized, they can contribute a liberal sum towards restoring the beautiful building so maliciously destroyed by lire. Fatal Disease at Miffllntown—Our Duij as Citizens. The citizens of Miffiintown, Juniata county, have been thrown into the wildest consterna tion during the past eight or ten days, by the appearance of a disease which, if not the i holera. is at least equally as violent and fa tal. striking down its victims in a few hours under the most excruciating pain. We have strong doubts whether the disease is re ally the dreaded pestilence of Asia, and think it more likely to be one of those en- j demies at times produced with singular fatal ity by local causes; but as it is the part of wisdom to guard against the ills which flesh is heir to, no measures ought to be left un tried to preserve the health of our own borough. Possessing but little authority, and that little at times difficult to execute, the Burgess and Town Council have done ail they could do towards effecting that desirable object, and if seconded by the citizens at large, we shall probably present less inducement for disease to obtain a foothold than we have for vears. In such case, should cholera, or any other fatal epidemic, visit us, we may find cause for congratulation that early steps were taken to destroy the miasmatic influ ences which at this time of year always exist. The Juniata Sentinel, received last evening, gives the following account of the disease and its progress: " Our town has been visited by some dis ease as singular in its symptoms as it is fatal in result, and which from its malignancy, ex tent and indifference to treatment, caused the utmost consternation and alarm. Two or three sudden deaths in Patterson had excited the fears of our citizens, but the interval of a week had somewhat calmed them, when on Friday evening the epidemic reappeared with the utmost virulence, and in the course of forty eight hours, hurried off seven persons, which, to our small place, was a dreadful mortality. No cases occurred from Saturday till Tuesday, when a child which had impru dently eaten some green fruit, was violently attacked. Prompt remedies, however, seemed to check the disease, and though still danger ously ill, it is now in a fair way to recovery. So cases have since occurred. This was the first case which yielded to medicine, and from the fact that the latter attacks were much less malignant than the first, we believe and hope that the disease has spent its force, and that our town will now regain its usual health." The same paper enumerates the deaths as follows: On tho 17th inst., Frederick B. Kohler, aged 2b years. On the same day, Robert Barnard, aged 54 years. b On the same day, Mrs. Margaret R. Fasick, aged 80 years. On the same day, Andrew J. Hemphill, formerly of Clearfield county, aged about 25 years. On the 18th inst., Mary, daughter of David and Catharine Stouffer, aged 5 years. On the same day, Miss Jane 11. Bryson, aged 02 years. On the 20th inst., Michael Shirk, of Walk er township, aged 25 years. Mississipn,—Every Whig paper in this State supports the Whig ticket. Ratification meetings have been held in different parts of the State, and the nomination of Scott and Graham enthusiastically responded to. The Natchez Courier say the Whig Electoral ticket is the ablest ticket ever presented in that State for popular suffrage. The pros pects of the W lugs carrying this State art more cheering than they were in 1840, when GfcJJ- Harrison received a large majority. TIIF. AURORA, a new candidate for popular favor, made its appearance on Wednesday, and considering that it was got up without inuch preparation, makes a very creditable appearance. It is published by ~S\ .I. Shaw, at SI per annum. The inaugural address of its editor and publisher lays down the plat form on which he intends conducting his sheet, and if he follows it out, we may rea sonably expect to see some happy and much needed reforms made in the democratic ranks of Mifflin countv. On this subject he says: " Motives and designs may be imputed to us by those whose interests may not be pro moted by our course, which we as an honest democrat should utterly deprecate and ab hor. There is nothing more common than the cowardly practice of assailing a man's motives —placing him in a suitable position and then knocking him down. We shall expect only to succeed by following the old landmarks of the partv, and adhering strictly to Democratic principles, usages, &c., which it is our pur pose to do. And while we would not dictate to the democratic party its future course of poliey in this county, we cannot refrain from expressing our sincere conviction that unless a more liberal course of policy can be fixed upon than has been pursued for the last few years, we as a party will tind ourselves iu the minority. Does any one ask for the proof of this ? Examine the election returns of last fall as to local officers, and there read the an swer in Hgures that will not lie. What we sty is this—and we say it out boldly, without fear or favor—the success of the democratic party in Mifflin couuty requires a change in the manner of making county nominations. We say to the party in the county at large t> see to it, that the party organization is not used as an instrument by designing politicians to advan >e their private gains." Me had expected to learn something re specting the ties which bind our opponents together when two exponents of democracy appeared in the field, and must already con fess to some enlightenment on the subject.— " There is nothing more common," says our new doctor, " than the cowardly practice of assailing a man's motives—-placing him in a suitable position, and then knocking him down !" Well, that's nut whig creed, by a jug full, and coining from democratic au thority, we must of course set it down as good democratic doctrine, unless the other wing can show to the contrary —hence it is fair to infer that in addition to the " cohesive power of public plunder," a good democrat is occasionally retained in the ranks by being knocked down '. llow such doses are liked, we know not, but we suspect are not as palat able as canal clover. In a subsequent article on '• Legislative Nominations," the Aurora speaks as follows: " Let it not Vie said of our Legislature, as far as Mifflin county is concerned, what was said of the one last in session—that a greater mass of corruption never assembled at th capital of Pennsylvania; and had there not been "one sober Indian in camp" our State would have felt its influence for many years to come." As this "mass of corruption" was in a great part composed of acknowledged loco foeos, the sin of sending such stuff there must lie at the democratic door: and so " far as Mifflin county is concerned," it would there fore be well for the people hereafter to elect an honest whig, who would conscientiously follow the " sober Indian's" moccasin tracks so long as he kept in the right path. But having no more room, we must close this article, and do so with the wish that our neighbor inay thrive in his new vocation, certainly one requiring arduous and ill r - qui ted labor, and a well-go v rued temper to re sist the use of the profane vocabulary. THE COLLINS STEAMERS. —The compensa t on grant-d by Congress to this line of steam ers, for l!G trips (to Liverpool and back) per annum, is $33;U00 per trip, making $858,W0 per annum, instead of $585,000 as heretofore received. Congress lias reserved the power, at any time, alter the .'list December, 1854, to terminate the arrangement for the additional allowance, upon giving six months notice. The Congress that passed this bill giving away §858,000 per annum, is strongly loeofo co in both branches. There is 110 rlaim pre ferred in this case—no pretence to justify it, except to keep up an individual who is en gaged in running a line of steamers to Eng land. In the meantime, while a locofoco Congress is bestowing nearly a million of dollars per annum on a New York locofoco, where are the papers that have been yelling Galphin, Gardiner, Ac. ? Have thov no in dignation to bestow on this robbery of the treasury—for if the payment of old claims is robbery , as they contend, this bestowal of money is infinitely more so—or is their love for the people's interest confined to a limit be yond which they can see no wrong, however glaring it may be. Gut upon such hypocrisy. DEMOCRATIC BOLTERS.—I^U ito a number of Democratic newspapers and politicians re fuse to submit to the proceedings of their party National Convention, and have resolved to give their aid to outside movements, A mong the papers we may mention the North ern Democrat, published at Pulaski, N. Y.; the True Democrat, la.; the Knaska, Wis consin, Telegraph ; the Independent Demo crat, N. II.; the Lowell, Mass,, Amerman ; the Wyoming, N. Y., Mirror; the Manchester, N. H., Democrat. These, we believe, are all radical partizan Democratic shoots. They will mostly support the ticket which may be nominated by the Free Soil Convention at Pittsburg, Those papers in the above list which represent the New York Barnburners, declare that the mass of that party will not follow John Van Buret) in sup porting Pierce and King, "GIVE RS voi - R HAND —So DO I."—Every body hereabouts knows George Withered, who fir years has been a workinginan in tlie Democratic ranks, and who has done that party good service. (j n Monday George met a democratic friend who bad just r-turned fiom Indiana, and whose first inouiry was, " M ell, George, how's polities?" George answered, " l' m afraid we'll have to part this tune, for 1 go in for Winfi.dd Scott." '• Do you V' shouted his friend; " give us your hand on that, old fellow— so do I." Cleveland (Ohio) JJr/ahi. The Democrat-—the New York Tribune, and the Gazette. It is an easy matter for the Democrat to say that the New York Mirror, or others of that kidney, is a whig paper, and then launch out into anathemas against the Tribune and its assertions, either real or manufactured. Now Mr. Greeley has repeatedly asserted that he speaks for himself, and not for the whig party, and in condemning the platforms adopted at Baltimore, he made especial men tion that such was the case. But of course it would not answer so well to make this fact known, as it would at once knock the whole pith of the Democrat's article into a mess of pi. So far as we are concerned, that paper is welcome to place us in any position it can in reference to slavery. We stand by the compromises of the constitution ; an; desir ous of seeingthem carried out in good faith, hut have no anxiety to become a nigger catcher; we neither spit upon nor defy its provisions, nor any of the laws made in pursuance thereof, nor upon the platform, yet we cannot be lieve that an internal slave trade is less inhu man than an external; we also Lelieve that the shooting down of a poor black by a white man is as much murder as the killing of a white man by a black one; and that a Gov ernor of Pennsylvania who makes a distinc- lion between the two, is recreant to his duty. But while the Democrat is thus lashing poor Mr. Greeley—who no doubt will feel very un well when he hears it—-why does it pass over the transgressions of the New York Post, which, as any one can sec hv yesterday's Democrat, is recognize'! us Demon otic author- ity. That paper condemns the locofoco plat form adopted at Baltimore in the most un- j qualified manner, and unlike Greeley, who ! professes to speak only for himself, it under- ! takes to speak for the democracy. Now, : there, .Mr. Democrat, is a Pierce and King ab olitionist of the first water, with whom you are found in company, and while he prates of f a platform which he alleges to be of no bind- ! ing force whatever, you aver the contrary, ! hut have no word of condemnation to utter against him ! Why not remove that saw log from your eye before you attack Greeley's ! lath ? ROUTE AGENT. —David McClure, Esq., of L'-wistown, has been appointed Mail Agent on the Central Railroad between Ilollidays burg and Pittsburgh, in the room of Col. Piper resigned. We have certainly no objection to David Mi Clure obtaining an office, but it sounds strangely to the whigs of Mifflin that a man who last year proclaimed himself an UNCOM PROMISING LOCOFOCO, and toted that ticket from Ato should receive an appointment at the hands of a winy (uhuimstruhoii. The correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger wr.tes as follows respecting a late movement in favor of increasing the duties on iron : WASHINGTON, July 13, 1832. Yesterday, the tariff got the last dig under the fifth rib, inflicting on the friends of that measure a wound from which they will not recover either this or the next session. An ingenious movement was made by Mr. Mace, of Indiana, to introduce a bill for allowing foreign railroad iron to come in free of duty. This might have afforded an opportunity to some of the Pennsylvania democrats to move amendments, increasing the dutv on other species of iron, so as to firing the tariff' of 1840, in that respect, to the standard origi nally intended by its tranters and its friend.-. The bill, however, was laid on the table by a decisive vote, reconsidered, and (he reconsid eration laid upon the table. This will be sad m-wj to the people of Pennsylvania, who bad stood manfully by the South iri the de fence of southern rights, and who had confi dently expected that the South would recipro cate their patriotism, b\ looking with favor on the growing mining industry of the Key stone State. Recent attempts, by substituting home valuations for the present mode of col lecting duties, and thereby increasing the duty on every article of impost, suggested as tliev were by a noted delegate to the Balti more Convention, were out of time and place; but a simple proposition in regard to iron was entitled to respectful consideration, and ought not to have been strangled at its birth. If, as was alleged, some ironmasters last year supported Eiglcr, as well as sundry lo cofocos for Congress, under the shallow prom ise that a locofoco Congress would be more likely to make a revision of the duties on iron, they can now realize what such promis es are worth, and perhaps feel how much lighter their pockets are in the bargain. The same letter also speaks as follows of the unity of the locofocos, and tells us how the naughty whigs will not help them out of their difficulties. Hear him: All the land hills are now in a precarious position, the whigs being determined to pro- j duce as much discontent among the Northe-n Democrats as possible, and the large Demo ! cratic majority in Congress being so complete ly cut up in factions, ready to cut each others throats, that it cannot carry a single measure professedly Democratic in either house. The Whigs are constantly taunting the Democrats with their nominal strength in the House of Representatives, which, for all practical pur poses, is not worth a pinch of snuff. Well, there must be a loving set of brethren amoqg the democratic ranks in Congress if they are ready to cut each other's throats, as the Ledger man says they are—though we must say there would not le much lost if their threats were carried out. The Louisville Journal says : — General Scott, ioc presume, was the youngest man to whom a cabinet appointment, was enr ie.ndt.red in this country, benny less than thirty years of aye. Mr. -Madison wits one of the purest of Presidents, and an excellent judge of men, and iiis proffer of the Secretaryship of War to young Scott, to the onio- ioii of Hen. Brown, (run. Macomb, Hen. Jackson, Hen. Haines, and others who were uumy yearn his senior in age and service, wits an honor more to he prized than that of winning a great buttle.— Hen. Scott declined tie proffered Secretary ship from considerations of deference to his superiors, and surely here was none of the manifestations of vanity with which lie is charged. EDITORIAL OLL.V PODRIDA. The weather has beon uncomfortably hot, dry and sultry for several days. The huckleberry season is about opening, with a plentiful crop of large sized berries. Messrs. Young & Lynn have started a neat looking paper at Waterford, Erie county. Messrs. R. White and 11. C. Devine have commenced the publication of a new demo cratic paper at Ebensburg, Cambria county. Lime can again be procured at Kitten house's Kiln, near llenry Comfort's dwelling, to-morrow and thereafter. Such of our readers as may visit Bedford Springs during the present season, will find comfortable quarters, free from noise and confusion, at Mrs. E. C. Hall's boarding house. Some difficulties have arisen on the fishing grounds between the Yankees and British, but they will probably be adjusted without trouble. The Whigs of Bedford county have pre sented S. L. Russell, Esq., as their choice for Congress. A better selection could not be made in the district. The Johnstown Wreath lias given place to the Cambrian, which gives promise of good service to the whig cause near that fruitful source of corruption, the Portage Railroad. CANAL PIZZLE. —If it takes three men and a boy, at two dollars a day each, three days to remove forty wheelbarrow loads of sand, what is the cost of each wheelbarrow load ? THE CHARGER, is a neat and stirring cam paigu paper published at Chambersburg I>\ .Stover and McClure, at 25 cents per copy— five copies fur §1 ; twelve for 82 ; twenty for $3. Get up a club. Congress is again tinkering at the postage laws. It is a fact that a more idle, spend thrift and dissolute body has never assembled at Washington, and it is also a fact that a large majority of both houses are loeojocox. The Democrat has a cock and bull story that John Strolim should have said that drunkenness is considered a recommendation by a majority of the locofoco party. Mr. Strohm never used any such language. " Seventeen whig members of Congress utterly refuse to support Scott and Graham,"' say the locofoco papers. Deduct one truth from seventeen statements,and it just leaves six teen falsehoods to one truth, which is about the general average. We are referred by the Demecrat to Gen. Ilale for a specimen of Searight's pot hooks. Even if we called, pray how arc we or anv one else to know that see-saw wrote it ? Loco candidates for Canal Commissioner generally have schoolmasters convenient, in case of ac cidents. How comes it that Pierce and King are supported by the southern disunionist- and by many of the northern abolitionis'.s? both of which factions are undoubtedly aiming at the same end, namely, a dissolution of the Union. Perhaps some stickler for locofoeo ism can tell. We have received a copy of a pamphlet containing the Rules and Regulations to be observed, and the Premiums offered, at the State Agricultural Exhibition to h • held at Lancaster on the 20th, 21st and 22d October, which can be examined at this office. We state for public information that no building permits have been granted by the present Chief Burgess, except to George Blymver and Daniel Ficlitborn, and all oth ers who are obstructing the streets and al leys with lumber, brick, &e., are liable to a fine for doing so. Some time ago we received a copy of the Gulden Rnle, with a request to notice for an exchange. We did so—sent a copy marked, but thus far the golden rule to do as you would be done by has been no rule at all. Come, ve odd fellows, be even in this matter, and odd as you please iu others. The Democrat advises its Harrisburg cor v'-pendent to hunt up some -if the records of the big break 1 Ah 1 yes, by all means—that work has already furnished material for cov ering up loeofoco State robberies to the amount of millions, and is certainly a very convenient refuge to fly to ; but it wont last forever, and when the people still find their taxes increasing, the State debt increasing, and every species of extortion practiced, they may begin to believe that this stale cry of Huntingdon break ought not to father all the sins now or recently committed. One case of cholera in Lewistown, on Mon day last.— Huntingdon Globe. Not a word of it true, Mr. Globe. The Journal we see makes it still worse, alleging it was a death. Now gentlemen of Hunt ingdon, you may be " orfully" frightened— as you ought to be, considering the way you have been talking of lute—but don't let a simple case of cholera morbus, caused by eating a raw cucumber, be magnified into Asiatic cholera, or if you do so magnify it, don't kill the man, for we can assure you he is still alive and kicking, and could probably thrash either of you this very day. Our neighbor says Canal Clover would he a very palatable medicine to him, butunpal : atable to us, to judge from the wry faces we made last fall when this prescription was given. No-sir-eo, Bob, its the taxpayers who are making the wry faces, for, as a good lo cofoco at our elbow says, a dose of canal clo ver is a little [>ill iished up from the bottom of , the canal, and a fat contract on the North Branch or Portage taken afterwards. Palat able to you and unpalatable to us—to be sure it would be ! for in one case cubic feet would grow into cubic yards, and in the other cubic yards dwindle down to inches ; in one case gravel would turn into hard rock, and in the other hard rock be designated as gravel, and so ou ad infinitum.

LAND SI.IDE.—A violent storm at Quebec, on the loth, caused a slide of earth and slate on Cape Diane, which overwhelmed a brick house occupied by Mr. R. Webb and others, and two wooden houses, The occu pants of the latter had time to flee, but in the former house seven persons were killed. The Wheeling Gazette publishes a list of eighteen banks with an aggregate capital of nearly four millions of dollars, chartered by the Legislature of Virginia during its last session, the first held under the amended Constitution, 'flic Legislature was strongly Democratic, and the Gazette therefore con cludes that the Democrats are clearly now the bank bought party of Virginia. CHOLERA IN MISSOURI.—A letter to the St. Louis Republican, dated Jackson, Mo., June 28ih, states that for two we r -ks the cholera had been raging in and about that place.— Forty-nine persons had fallen victims to it in the town, licsides some forty in the adjacent country. Several physicians had died, and the residents were deserting the country in a complete panic. Roger Jones, Adjutant General of the 1 . 3. Army, died at his residence in Washing ton city, on the loth instant, lie was one of the old soldiers of the war of 1812, in which struggle he distinguished himself upon sever al occasions. He was a native of \ irginia, and held the rank of Colonel since 1825. On the dOth May, I*4B, he was brevettcd a Major General. DESTRUCTION OF CROPS —A "large species of grasshopper has made its appearance on several parts of Lng Island, doing much injury to the crops, principally in the vicinitv of Jamaica. On one farm, that of Captain Suydam, they have destroyed about 3000 heads of cabbage, together with a large amount of grass, corn, wheat. &c. Thev also attack the potato tops, and the potatoes, if not housed as soon as dug up. Thev de stroy the wheat by biting the straw about two inches below the head, which causes it to fall to tho ground. I he i i-iters at Niagara Falls were terribly excited by the spectacle of a man in a boat, who evidently came down the rapids and lodged on the rucks between Goat Island and the Canadian shore, directly above the Falls, ile was a fisherman, named Johnson. Not withstanding the imminent risk, a man named •Joel Robinson, at the peril rf his life, went to his relief in a small -kitf, taking a rope from th- Island, and succeeded in rescuing him from the 1 oat. About five minutes after John-on was taken fi na the boat, it loosened from the rock and w,.; over the Falls. He had been in that situation since 12 at night, and was intoxicated. A purs.' of S2OO was made up by the visiters for Robinson. aiiilfJf Mi) ftMMI, County Meeting. 1 he M higs of M ifflin county, and all others ' in favor of the renowned Winfield Scott for President, are invited to attend a County Meeting at the Town Ilali in Lewistown, on j Tuesday Evening, August 3d, j to adopt such measures as may be deemed i , necessary to ensure success in the approach- i ing elections.
