THE GAZETTE. LE WISTOWN, PA. Thursday, February 19, 1857. TO OUR PATRONS, We have this year, in addition to.?ur regular expenses, tu meet nearly s3uo on the tst of April,, and we trust there-, fore that our patrons who have heretofore so liberally res ponded to this annua! call, will do so again, Th° past few years, with their high prices, have been trying ones to us, "for while everything else has gone up our terms for the paper and prices of Job work arc the same as when we could purchase dour at $4.30 and $5.00 per barrel, butter at 12'. cents per pound, and many other things in proportion; yet with all this, such notices as "We uant money," "Wo MI ST have money," Ac-, are never found in the columns of the Gazette unless It be at this season. This is uot because we do not need It, (for to tell the truth we have been a l>or rower In 1550.) but because these constant "duns" are cold ly looked upon by tho public, and seldom produce any good. There is one class to whom we have a special word to say. They are few in number, but totally regardless wheth er they pay or not. The day has arrived when we MUST dispense with such "patronage," and we here give them notice that we shall take an early occasion to strike their names oft' the books. A large number of subscriptions tn the Western States, Ac. will expire during the months of February. March and April, and as these arc discontinued at tho expiration of the time paid for, (except in a few sp.-ctal oaeos.i those wishing the paper continued will please remit a gold dol lar, wapped in a piece of paper an 1 enclosed in a letter.— No western small notes will be taken in payment.

We shall give a notice of this excellent ma chine in our next. Win. I'. Elliott. Esq., lias been appointed Agent for this county for the Continental Insurance Company, of Phila delphia.

Republican State Convention. The Republican statc Convention, fyr the nomination of candidates for Governor and ether State I ifficer?, will be held at Harrisburg, on \\ EDNESDAY, the 25th of March, 1857. Each District will elect Delegates in the usu al manner, equal in number to its represen tation in the two Houses of the Legislature; and no person will be entitled by substitution, to represent a district in which he does not reside. CIIAULES GIBBUNS, Chairman of the State Executive Committee. The above notice is perhaps somewhat pre mature, but having been called by the regu larly constituted authority of the Republican party, it is due that representatives from tho several districts should be elected, and we would accordingly suggest that a meeting be held at the Town Hall, in Lewistown, on Mon day evening, March oth, for the purpose of electing Delegates. It does not necessarily follow that because a convention is called a nomination must be made, fr circumstances may arise to render a postponement both proper and judicious; but if the foolish advice of some to altogether disregard this call be taken those who meet may do that which will be bard to undo. Besides such a course would bo an insulting one towards the val iant voters of the northern counties who in tho fall elections piled up majorities for the Union ticket sufficient, had other parts of the State not proved recreant, to turn Pennsylva nia from the infamous platform laid down for her by slavery propagandists. Let each dis trict then elect its delegate?, selecting men of sound judgment and conciliatory views—let these men assemble and calmly deliberate, and our word for it their action will be such as to command a ready response. While, like others, we have our preferences fur a candidate in the person of Judge Hale, that preference will not prevent us from giving a cheerful support to any one on whom the opposition to tho National Administration may unite, whether it be that sterling Repub lican and able statesman, David Wilmot, or any good American Republican. sfL.Our space is at present somewhat limi ted for news, but as this week concludes the publication of the Poor House Statement, and next week the Cmnty Accounts, wc shall be enabled to give our customary variety, unless the Sheriff should levy on half the county, or the Kegistcr furnish a list of several hundred administrators, executors, and guardian ac counts .taat ought to be fiied in his office, but are not. 3*3?"

Pigs, cither two legged or four-legged, that frequent tav erns, aro very apt to tumble on even spots, and of course more so on a roof—hence the pig-astrophe. 1 ALL SHOOTING.— Ihe match for the mam moth hog, weighing 1000 pounds, which fin ished in Altouna last week, was won by Col. Joseph Kacy, one of the mail agents on the Pennsylvania liailroad, between Pittsburg and Ilarrisburg, on a string throe-sixteenths of on inch in length. The Altoona Tribune states that Col. Kacy drove IS centres nut of 45 shots, while ly of his shots measured only 9 inches, and 22 shots measured 1S inches. Mr. Ifollan drove quite a number of centres, j At one time he drove some seven or eight in succession, in different boards, and made quite a numbor of strings which measured between % and i of an inch. PORTAGE RAILROAD AVAR. The Ilollidaysburg Staadard of last week contains a defence of the late officers of tlio Portage Railroad, from which we extract the following ; " When Gen. Calolian took charge of the road, every thing was new. The caving in , at deep cuts, the erection of bridges, and the laying of a new track from (Jaysport to the Portage Iron Works, were extraordinary and i unavoidable expenses incurred in order to keep the road in order. Notwithstanding this, Arnold Plumer, in order to found a pre text to have Calohan supplanted last fall, urged upon the Legislature in May, after I most of the extraordinary debt was contract ed, the passage of a law making the sureties of officers responsible for any debts contract ed over and above the appropriation for the fiscal year. The law was passed, when every one knew that Gen. Calohan must exceed the appropriation, or the road would cease opera tions. It was the entering wedge to serve Arnold Pluiner's purpose—notwithstanding the absurdity of the intimation in the report that Calohan'a sureties of 1855 should be held amenable to a law passed in 1856. "The appointment of Mr. Bryden was re ceived with disgust by the Democrats here. Ist—Because they deemed him unqualified to fill the office, as time will amply prove. 2dly —Because he never was a Democrat until within the last year or two—and lastly be cause he was appointed over the heads of re liable Democrats and men of known integrity. The deep indignation bf the people had to he met by Plumer—and he endeavors to shield himself behind implied corruption on the part of Gen. Calohan. The report alleges that Gen. Calohan new certificates for wood to the amount of $13,000, said to have been on the road when he came into office, making them payable out of his appropria tion—thus attempting to make the State pay twice for the same wuod—a moral impossi bility, as the Auditor General could hardly be entrapped to credit such an account twice. It is very true that Gen. Calohan did cancel the old certificates, and issue new ones for the payment of $13,000 worth of wood. lie done so with a written guarantee from A. M. White in his pocket that lip would in demnify him against all loss. Calohan had no right to know what amount of wool was on the road. The Wood Inspector appointed by the Canal Commissioners reported that amount, and he was hound to take his state ment —and yet in the face of all this, the Honorable Board charges Gen. II jss first with $13,000 for the old certificates cancelled, and $13,000 for the new ones issued—making S26,(XX) 1 They <io not explain by what means the men interested were to make the Auditor General pay this claim twice—but they saddle tiie whole charge upon Gen. Cal ohan, who had no more to do with it than the Commissioners themselves. "in the bill of charges against Calohan, we find S2OOO due from J. S. Hemphill for nine stationary engines. Col. U. M. Lemon offered fur these nine engines SII.OUO, but by some unexplained hocuspocus James S. Hemphill A COMPANY bought them from the Canal Board for S2C>OO, and the balance owing upon them is now charged te Gen. Calohan! "Want of time, as well as a want of room, compels us to close with this brief notice, merely informing our readers that before an investigation committee in tho House, it will be satisfactorily proven that a man high in the confidence of Plumer, made overtures to both Ross and Calohan—to the effect that for SISOO in hand paid to certain parties, that part of the report relative to tho t poor} shout d be omitteil! —but both spurned the offer of these pure and immaculate patriots, and are willing to let the Legislature pass judgment upon their official accounts." So far as relates to the last charge, Gen. Calohan has published a card in which he say? he was never approached by any one with a "proposition of so dishonorable a na ture." We have thus given both tides of this bu siness, and we suspect must of readers, after perusing it, will come to the conclusion that the Canal Commissioners gave pretty strung I evidence of corruption among their officers, and that their officers have furnished equally conclusive evidence that the Canal Cousinis siuners are no hotter than themselves. The whole thing in fact seems to be a mere quar rel as to which party defrauded the State of tiie greatest amount, reminding one strongly of the old saw "\\ ben rogues fall out," Ac.

Hick man vn a Char ye, of Hinbezzleiug the Finals of in- Jsineaster Hank—longenecker held in £24,00" to answer at Court. bast evening we noticed briefly the arrest of B. C. Bachman, late President of the Lan caster Bank, on a charge of embezzlement preferred by stockholders of the Lancaster Bank, and his being held in $12,000 for a hearing on Wednesday next. We knew of the intended arrest the previous day, and that a warrant was eut 1 r .Mr. Longenecker, but as he had not been arrested at the time we •went to press, we did not think it proper to refer to that matter. It was understood that Mr. L. was in the city, and would return in the evening train, which we presume he did —lit leat he appeared at the office of Alder niau Prick about seven o'clock, and entered bail in £24,000 to answer at court, Henry Longenecker and Thomas Baumgardner be- ; coming his sureties in $12,000 each, besides recognizing personally in the same amount. The complaint charges that some time in the month of March, 1855, David Longeneck er, then President of the Lancaster Bank, and B. C. Bach man, Cashier of said Bank, ' paid fifty thousand dollars of the money of tho Bank to the Lancaster Savings Institution, on the notes of W. L. Ilelfeiistein, which j notes were endorsed either by the President or Cashier of said Bank, in their individual name or names, and other Directors of said j Bank; that at the maturity of these notes they were presented at the Bank for payment, and were direetcd by the Cashier to be paid, : although at the time, Mr. Ilelfeustcin had no funds in that Bank to his credit to meet them —thus appropriating the funds of the Bank to their own private indebtedness to an am- , ount exceeding $50,000. The complaint further charges that the said David Longenecker, as President of the Lancaster Bank, did at various times appro priate the funds of said Bank to his own in dividual use and benefit, arid also that he loaned out sums of money, the property of said Bank, without the knowledge or consent of the Directors, to individuals without secu rity, and which have been since lost to the bank. We understand that the prosecutors in these cases, have retained Messrs. Kline A Brown, as speci.ll Counsel; Mr. Dickey prosecuting the case in his official capacity, as District Attorney.

GARROTIXG. —The first attempt at introduc ing this species of robbery was tried last week by a woman inveigling a man into a house, and as soon as he entered it had him knocked down by a man in waiting, and rob bed of a watch.

Ono of the peculiarities of this case was that ouc of the party was implicated iu a robbery cu Thursday, committed to jail on Friday, bailed out on Saturday, and married on Sunday. EFFECTS OF TUE FLOOD.— The Newton Ham ilton dam we learn has been swept away be tween tho piers, so that it will require rebuil ding: the Jack's creek aqueduct has been somewhat stove at the aide, the piers under the tow path bridge knocked down, and tho wing walls slightly shattered. The tow path is badly washed in many places. The cul vert at Mayes, at which some work had been done, is in a worse state tlian ever, the banks daiiv caving in as the frost leaves the ground. A friend who has somo idea of the damage sustained on this division, estimates that with the Newton dam it will cost the State $40,000 to put all in good order. The Lewistown bridge, as anticipated, was j rendered passable on Saturday morning for medium loads, and will soon be in a condi tion littlo the worse for the hard knocks it sustained. i Everhart and John Shanlope were arrested the other day for breaking open the corn crib of Ceo. Trioster, residing near Jack's crock, and taking therefrom a quanti , ty of corn.

For the Lewistown Gazette. j GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKENING. There is at present great interest felt on the subject of religion in the Lutheran Church of this place, of which Rev. C. M. Klink is Pastor. There has been preaching every night for more than two weeks past. The Church is crowded every evening, and with the exception of three days by Rev. Weiting, and one sermon by Rev. H. Baker, Mr. Klink has dono all the preaching himself. There are numbers forward at the altar every night seeking an interest in that Saviour who died for them on Calvary, and many have found him precious to their souls. But great as ' had been the interest manifested by the pub i lie in thesa meetings the culminating point j was on Sabbath. At an early hour the Church \ was literally crowded, and many could not ;be accommodated with seats. The sermon was one that roused up the dormant faculties i of the soul, and forced every one to think se ! riously of making preparation for that long • home which lies beyond the grave. Thecon- I gregation were wrapped in silent attention, and hung with rapture upon the words of the ! speaker as they fell from his lips. It was a j solemn scene and wiil not soon be forgotten i by the writer of these lines, and it is to be hoped it will long be remembered by many others to the good of their souls. In the evening there was a still greater press for seats, long before the time of ser j vice the people having crowded in;—it seemed ' as if the whole population were on the move ! for the Lutheran Church. The crowd pressed | around the altar and in the aisles, and many j remained standing during the service, and at ; the close of a powerful and evangelical ser mon, quite a number presented themselves at the Altar of Prayer. These meetings are con ' ducted in a very orderly and scriptural man ' ner. No undue excitement or noisy confu -1 sion by the members of the church, and save j the pleadings of some who feel the burden of | sin, and an occasional cry of some penitent ! as the soul emerges from a state of darkness < to the marvelluus light, there is but little j heard beyond the voice of prayer. The sing ing is go*d, and the members of the church ! work with their Pastor as men who feel a ; great anxiety fur the salvation of their fel ; iow beings. Last winter there was a meeting j carried on in this Church for five weeks in j succession, which resulted in the addition to ! it of about one hundred members, nearly all of whom have held out faithful, and many of ! them have become ornaments to the Church and good members of society, j During this meeting many have manifested j a disposition to cut loose from their sinful ways, and lead lives of virtue and holiness, and from all appearances quite a large num ber will be added to the Church. There is something about the manner in which the preacher presents the truth that takes hold on the hearts o f the people and draws out of them the cry "What shall I do to be saved?" after which in most cases thev resolve to give their hearts to the Saviour. Should not therefore a work of grace which promises so much good to our cumuiunitv have the good wishes of all, and the prayers of every lover of Jesus in particular? A SPECTATOR. i Hullotray's Medicines. —We are not in the j habit generally of noticing the tliou>und and i one medicines of the day, but when a really meritorious one is before the public, we think : it due to the afflicted that the fact should he j made known. We have used ILdlowaj's j Pills and Ointment in cases of humors, bruis j es and scalds, with beneficial effects, and there are cases within our knowledge of extraordi nary cures performed in diseases of long standing.

Last summer we had hundreds o! testimonials and official reports, vouching tb superiority of this machine over all others not in use. This machine excels all other? in tin following points, viz: Its easy convcrtibiht, from a .Mower to a Reaper and rice rrrta; construction for adaptation to uneven surfacs the ease with which it can be raised or lowers, | for cutting from two inches to eighteen inehe I from the ground, which is done by means of; lever controlled by the driver while in hissen its ease of draft, portability, and cleanness aw ease of cut. Many of these features are pa;. I ented anil cannot be embodied in any other mi dline, and ail will admit how essential and in j dispensable they are to a complete combing I machine. With each machine will be furnish ed two scythes, two extra guards, two extr, j sections, one extra pinion and wrench. ! They are warranted to t,-ive satisfaction, citi j er as a Mower or Reaper, or no sale. Price $l4O, delivered in Lewistown. All ! communications directed to F. G.
