THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday, January 22, 1857. Pennsylvania Legislature. The - election of Gen. Cameron seems to have laid out the wire-pullers of democracy as flat as a pancake, though many of the rank and file seem to take it quite easy.— Others however are blustering and blowing at a tremendous rate, swearing vengeance at tho three members who would not bow the knee to King Caucus, and denouncing Foster and others who held off. The proceedings in the two houses, after the election, were deci dedly but half sane on the part of some of the members, as was evidenced by the pres entation of the following protest.- "The undersigned members of the Senate of Pennsylvania, do hereby protest against the proceedings of the Joint Convention which met at 12 o'clock. A. M., on Tuesday, the 13th inst., in the Chamber of the House of Rep resentatives, for the purpose of electing a Senator to represent this State iu the Senate of the United States for six years from the 4th day of March next; and they protest against the election of Simon Cameron by said Convention, for the following reasons, viz: "Because there was not a concurrent maj ority of each House in favor of the candidate declared to be elected. "Because the Senate did not comply with the requirements of the act of the 2d day of July, 1839, entitled "An act relating to the elections in this Commonwealth," in this, ; that they did not appoint a teller, and make a nomination of persons to fill said office, nor 1 give notice of said appointment and nomina tions at least ne day previous to the meet ing of said Joint Convention.

EVANS. WM. WILKIN'S." A similar document, signed by the Fornev members, was presented to the House. The imbecility of this movement cannot be better illustrated than bv referring to the proceed ings on the day previous to the election, when, as appears by the record, "Mr. Witkins gave notice to the Senate, that when a committee from the House of Representatives was introduced on to morrow, and announced that that body was prepared to join in Convention to proceed to the elec tion of a United States Senator, and invited the Senate to participate in the election, he should call upon the Senators to proceed to the Hall of the House fjr that purpose." Here then it appears the loeofoeos of the Senate, headed by Mr. Wilkins and compris ing a minority of that body, were willing to go into an election of Senator in defiance of a vote of the majority, and these consilient protestants would uo doubt, iu open violation of the statute which declares that both Hou ses shall elect, have elected Forney! But the Senate subsequently did go into an election, and now these same men protest against its validity! If barefaced impudence can go further than this, we should like to see a spe cimen of it. The truth is the vcromj man for these sticklers was elected, upsetting a large amount of patronage and office that had been , prumised injuturo, and perhaps even empty ing some pockets pro tempore —for if the de mocracy are such puroh&seable articles as the Forneyites now declare some of them to be. it is nut unlikely money had something to do with the caucus nomination. On Friday evening of last week another caucus was held, and Henry .8. Magraw, the the present State Treasurer, re-nominated.— iho three bolters and several Foster men were again absent, a fact that seemed to have produced a feeling that all was not right. On Monday, the day fixed by law for the elec tion, a large number of members were absent on account of the snow storm which had blocked them up, and the protestants in the House hastily adjourned, without offering to go into an election. A law will now have to be passed fixing a day fir the election. We sec nothing in the proceedings thus far of much interest to our readers. N EIV C'OIMEHI'EITS. Bicknell's Reporter publishes a long list of new counterfeit bank notes, from which we select the following, which circulate to some extent in this county: One on lor k County Hunk, of the dononii nation of five dollars, has made its appear ance.

B@fa.The llarrisburg Herald of Saturday speaks of a new counterfeit $lO note on the llarrisburg Bank, which it says is very differ ent fr ni the counterfeit on the Bank of Mont gomery County tens. It has portraits of Washington aud Rittcuhouse in the centre — canal boat on one end, and male and female on the other—with train of cars at the hot torn of the note. The genuiue ten has the State Capitol in the centre, with tho Goddess of Liberty in the foreground, seated. The vignettes on the ends are both alike—two fe male*. fctr' i'iie forgcmen to tine north uud west are forming associations for procuring cash payments for their labor. So far they are right, hut so soon as they will lend themselves to a combination far regulating labor and dictating to employers, they will soon discov er that the movement is one merely upholding poor workmen to the detriment of the good, and putting sober and steady men down to a ! level with the drunken and lazy. This is our experience of most unions regulating labor, prices, and who should be employed. ©SB** We have received a copy of the Mil | lerstown Gazette, published by Levi kiauser in that burg, situate on the Juniata in Perry i county.

Tart. —Six " democratic" members who boarded at Wilt's Pennsylvania Hotel addres sed a note to Samuel Menear, one ef the members who voted for Simon Cameron, re questing h;ua to leave the house, on which Mr. Menear replied that as he is not willing longer to associate with persons who have "so little knowledge of what is becoming in rneai ; bers of a high and honorable body" he inten ded to leave it. The six " gentlemen" who made this insulting request were C. M. Luis -1 earing, J. C. Kvans, B. Nunnemachcr, J. Pearson, M. Hoffman and Franklin M'llvain, j and deserve to have their skunkism recorded. LOCAL AFFAIRS. CONCERT. —The Excelsior Brass Band of Huntingdon will give a concert on Tuesday evening next, in the Town Hall, in this place. If the Huntingdon papers speak truly, the ; members of the Excelsior are competent to give a very satisfactory entertainment. THE Y\ FATHER. —The weather since our last was intensely cold for several days, the ther mometer having been nearly duwu to zero.— ! On Monday it blew with great violence, whirl ing the little snow that had fallen into drifts and shaking buildings to their foundations. ! On Tuesday afternoon and evening snow fell to the depth of about four inches, and yester day, after moderating considerably, the wind again began to blow. No mails from beyond Ilarrisburg reached Lewistown from Sunday until the present time. Considerable snow had fallen to | the eastward, and the high wind drifted this to such an extent as to close all travel beyond I Ilarrisburg. ° FATAL RESULT. —Among a large number of | others who were amusing themselves by ska ting on New Year's day were James, son of ; Capt. A Vni. Ross, and William, son of Thus. ' R. McKee, deceased, both of whom were sub- ! sequently attacked with violent cramps and ! inflammation, in the former case terminating with death en Friday evening last. Various reports were afloat as to the cause of this sad event, among others that they had greatly fatigued themselves and then laid down on the ice. In McKee's case this could not have been the cause, as he merely skated to the point below town and back. The probability is that both had the seeds of disca.se implant ed in them, and that the skating merely pro duced what any other exercise would have done, \oung Ross was a promising youth in his eighteenth year, a grandson of Samuel \Y itherow, Esq., of Beaver I'ain Mills, and Lis early departure to the home of the dead called forth a general sympathy from all clas ses, and especially from his associates. His remains were conveyed to McVeytown on Sunday last, and there interred by the side o{ his mother. McK.ee is still confined, but will probably recover. 1 HE WATER COMPANY. —Although subse quent facG proved that the censures so freely bestowed oil the Water Company were un- ! called for, the Managers have determined to j take measures for ascertaining in what wav ! an additional supply of water can be obtain- j ed, and at a meeting on Monday afternoon } appointed John R. Weekes, Ge< . Fry.-i.iger and Francis McClure a committee to make 1 examinations, surveys and estimates, and re- | port to the board the most feasible plans for j carrying the proposed extension of the works | into effect. For ordinary use it !■< certain ' there is water enough, hut for leakage, breaks, and culpable negligence in repairing hydrants in addition, there is not. This can he best illustrated by a few facts: last week the basin j was exhausted on three or four days, where upon Mr. Miller was appointed to examine the hydrants and shut off all that were leaky. : He turned off a number, and the result was that on Saturday morning the re was about i 15 inches of water in the basin ; on Monday, ; at noon, it had risen to 3 feet 1 inch, and has continued to rise since. From this, making ; all due allowance for frozen hydrants, &c., ' sonic estimate can he formed of the quantity of water a dozen leaky places will waste. INSTRUCTIVE FIRE. —The immunity our cit izens had so lung enjoyed from this destruc tive element, was broken on Saturday morn ing, about three o'clock, hv the discovery of fire in a siied kitchen or outbuilding attached to the dwelling of Mrs. Mayes, in Brown | street, above Third. Before any effective alarm had been raised, tho heat burst a win- 1 dow in the rear of the frame dwelling adjoin ing, owned and occupied by James Y\ allis, in which it spread so rapidly that not more than 1 one-half of the contents could he removed.— j Bv this time a considerable number of per sons had congregated on the spot, but unfor tunately an impression was abroad that there was no water in the reservoir, so that a ma- I jority of the firemen, instead of being at their , posts, were either at the fire aiding wherever they could, or idle spectators. A few mem- ; hers of the Henderson attached their hose to the plug on the corner of Third and Main j streets, but on running it out to their dismay i discovered that some hundreds of feet were ) not on the reel! The Juniata first took pos session of the plug ai Parker's corner, but under the same fatal impression that there wa3 no water, then proceeded to the feeder below Fetzer's blacksmith shop—the nearest ; place thoy could get water—when both com panics' hose was attached, but reached only to Dr. YanValzah's. These movements, un- ! der the circumstances, were correct, but had all the hose been in Us proper place on the reel, it is certain water would have been thrown on some of the buildings destroyed, as it was afterwards ascertained there was water enough I in the reservoir to ntn one pluy at least an ! hour and a half. In the meantime the fire spread slowly on botli sides, until the wholo row, consisting f four frame and one brick dwelling, ail two stories high, were a mass of livid flame, throwing a bright glare ou the surrounding hills and valleys. The other buildings de stroyed were—one owned by Rev. Mr. Hughes and occupied by David Shatzer; one owned by John Clark, occupied by Lafayette Webb; 1 and one owned and occupied by T. W. A J. Moore. The only insurance was the house owned by John Clark to the amount of $333 in the Lycoming. Mr. Wallis lost two beds, a portion of the furniture, a considerable quantity of clothiug, Ac. In all the remaining buildings various articles in the cellars aad garrets were con sumed—among them a quantity of meat. The total loss is probably from S4OOC to SSOOO. Jacob Hostetler and Thos, Stuart, who were engaged in removing articles during the fire, were somewhat scorched by the flames suddenly bursting over them, and William Lind, who had to run on fllfeount of the same element sprained his ancle by jump ing from a window. PROCEEDINGS OF THE TOWN COUNCIL. —At a meeting of the Council, held on Monday evening, the following resolutions were unan imously adopted: Resolved, That the Chief Burgess and Sec retary of the Council be and are hereby ap pointed Inspectors of the Engine and Hose Companies, who shall, as often as they may deem it necessary, examine all the material placed in charge of said companies, and in case of finding any part of it out of place or not in serviceable condition, to notify an offi cer of said company of the fact, and also to make known the same to the Town Council at its next meeting. Resolved, That the Burgess and Town Council will hereafter consider the removal of any portion of tho Hose out of the Engine Houses, for any purpose whatsoever except for repairs, (which repairs shall be made un der direction of the Inspectors above named) or while on duty, as sufficient cause for forth with disbanding such company or companies. Resolved, That in all cases where a fire shall render necessary a joint service of both companies, they shall place themselves under the direction of the Chief Burgess. On motion, George Frysinger was appoint ed to represent the Borough in the Board of Managers of the Lewistown Water Company for the ensuing year. * PICKPOCKETS. —EIIiott Williams, while ta king a nap on a sofa at the Railroad Hotel last week, was relieved of his pocket book containing sll2 or sll3. His impression was at first tiiat it had been lost, but a color ed boy named Sam Carter having purchased 6orne clothing the next day, suspicion was excited and on being charged with the rob bery confessed that he had obtained it from a colored man named D. Walker, who he al leged had taken it and given him a part to keep silence. The remainder of the money consisted of a SIOO note which Walker took with him, having left in the cars the uext morning, but subsequently returning was ar rested. Carter was also arrested, and circum stances seem t > point to him as the principal rather than an accomplice. g£if"The Republicans have carried the mu nieipal elections in Pittsburgh, Allegheny City and Birmingham. flgjpThe Huntingdon Journal says a bear weighing 351 lbs. was killed at Mount I'niun, Pa., last week.

His plan is the construction of an iron pipe about six inch es in diameter, throughout the line, to be heated by steam! He is said to be san guine of success. African. —Mr. Elheridge of Tennessee, whose independence raised a storm in the House, recently, by his resolution against the slave trade, is an original. Talking with some Southern gentlemen the ether day, lie remarked that the fugitive slave law, about which so much fuss was mak ing, is a considerable humbug. "Why,*' he said, "if a nigger runs away, one of two things is certain —either he is a mean nigger, or has a mean master. If the nigger is mean he isn't worth catching— and if the master's mean the nigger ought 03 O to run. Died. In this place, on Friday evening last, JAMES ROSS, son of Capt. Wm. Ross, aged 17 years, 10 months and 28 da3's. In Reedsville, on the 20th inst., JAMES F. M., son of It. M. and S. M. Kinsloe, aged 7 months and 25 days. In Bellefoute, on the 13th inst., after a lin gering illness, in his 3d year, MYRON STANLEY, son of lion. A. G. Curtin, Sec retary of the Commonwealth. On the 21st inst., in Beliefonte, JOSEPH SOFRBECK. His remains will be brought to Lewistown this afternoon for interment. At a regular meeting of the Phrenokosmi an Society of Lewistown, held on Friday evening, January 16, 1857, a couamittee.was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of their regret in the death of their esteemed fellow-member, JAMES ROSS, whereupon the following preamble and resolutions were adop ted by the committee: WHEREAS, It has pleased an all-wise and kind Providence to remove from amongst us, in the prime of his youth, by death, our es teemed young friend and worthy fellow mem ber, JA"ES ROSS, therefore, Resolved , That while we bow in humble submission to the will of our Maker, and know that He "doeth all things well," yet we sincerely deplore the less of the deceased, who, by his kind and gentle disposition and many other excellent qualities of heart and hand, has deeply imbodded himself in our af fections, and won the admiration and esteem of all who knew him. Resolved, That we tender to the family of the deceased (bereft of one of its most pre cious ornaments,) our deepest sympathy, in this, the hour of their trial and affliction. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing res olutions be sent to the family of the deceased, and that the editors of the different papers of the county be requested to publish the same. C. E. THOMAS,) W. W. E\ ANS, - Committee. A. K. lit'OY, ) Supposed Discovery of the Tourer of Babel. —A correspondent of the Boston Traveller, writing from Beirut, announces that Mr. Place, the French Consul in Mo sul, has discovered the ruins of the tower of Babel. J "Six of its eight stories have fallen and crumbled into dust; but the two which j remain are so high that they may be seen for fifty or sixty miles around. The base of the tower is quadrangular, and each side about six hundred feet long.— The tower is made of bricks of the purest clay and of a white color, which is a little shaded with a yellow tint. Under a clear sun, and as a whole, this ancient monument of human skill and da i ring presents a fine blending of colors, which sets the painter's pallet at defiance. Belore being baked, the bricks had been ■; covered with characters traced with the accuracy of the hand of a writing-master. Near the top of the letters, the straight strokes were adorned with flourishes re sembling the heads of nails. AH was neat, regular and severe; and, indeed, those who saw tiiese specimens of ancient cahgraphv | affirm that the fathers of the human race wrote a better hand than their children. Among the interesting discoveries of I Mr. Place were certain inscriptions on fil lets of gold, silver and copper, and also upon a metal, now unknown, and which | has somewhat of the appearance of ivorv. It has been submitted to the experiments ! of an intelligent metallurgist, and its qual ities will soon be ascertained. Some very curious photographs, taken hy the expedi tion, completed their labors, one of which was of lite ruins of the palace of the fa mous Queen Semiramis. This ancient monument, situated on the height of a ' mountain raised by the hands of men, , overlooks the awful solitudes which sur ' round Lake \ an—a body of water six or j seven times larger than Lake Geneva." JloUoiray's Ointment and I'illx a certaiu •dure for Wounds and Ulcers.—Mr. Thomas Thompson, of Batavia, New York, was afflic ted all over his body with running ulcers; his life at last became quite a burden to him, as he was a misery to himself, and an annoy ance to his friends. In the hope of obtaining relief to his sufferings, he consulted several physicians and surgeons, but his case seemed so desperate that it was considered hopeless. At this stage he had recourse to Holioway's Ointment and Pills, and by persevering with these remedies for ten weeks, he was com pletely cured, and now enjoys the best of health. ILLINOIS LANDS. —The attention of farmers and others about removing to the west, or desirous of making safe investments, is re quested to the advertisement of Joseph Miili ken, Esq., offering for sale 20,000 acres of Prairie Lands in Central Illinois. These lauds are located in a climate congenial to our own, near the great lines of railway that traverse the State, and for fertility and easy cultivation are unsurpassed. Among those who have already made purchases aro-Win. Mitchell of Lewistown, Joseph Tice of Gran ville, John M. Bel! of Derry, and others, who examined them iu person and will cheerfully testify to their value. The lands will be sold low, and offer the strongest inducements for emigrants Irom this and neighboring coun ties to form neighborhoods, and thus in a measure relieve the tediousness arising from settling among strangers in a strange land. .JGE.YTS I F.LXTED in ev ery Town or Village of the Union, to seli DR.
