THE GAZETTE AND ITS FUTURE.
The last No. completed the eleventh year
since we became editor aud proprietor of
the Gazette, during which time, with the
exception of 4th of July and Christmas
weeks, (when we do not profess to publish
a paper) it has appeared regularly every
week. This, as our readers know, is a long
time for any one to be connected with a
paper here, but unless some unforeseen cir
cumstance occurs, and life and health re
main, we may continue its publication until
another decade rolls round. Although of
a partizan character, our paper has steadily
increased in circulation both among politi
cal friends and opponents, and secured a
list of steadfast patrons, who, although not
always agreeing with its editor, yield him
the right of expressing his opinions on all
subjects without flying into a passion at his
course. The}- do this, we think, because
they know that we are in reality " indepen
dent'' of party trammels, of factions, and
of cliques—that we can and dare exercise
the right of thinking, acting, and speaking
for ourselves—and that gross wrong will
be as readily opposed in friend as in foe. j
This course we have found to be the true i
one in publishing a p>aper, and until we see j
good reason for changing it, we shall con
tinue in it.
Tn a pecuniary point, during the past
few years, we have not much to boast of.
With articles of general household use at
almost double price, and no increase in our
rates, any one can cypher out that the dif
ference was taken altogether from the profits
of the establishment. At this we do not
complain, being content to take the world
as it is; and so long as our patrons will con
tinue to furnish us with enough to pay
all expenses, economically incurred, and
thus keep us out of debt, we shall not.
CEREDO CRESCENT. —We have received
two numbers of a new paper published at
Ceredo, Wayne eo., Virginia, by W. Boyd
Wilson, formerly of this place. It is of
large size, well printed, and ably edited.
Ceredo Is located on the Ohio river, below
Parkersburg, and is the point selected bv
Thayer's Land Company for inducing north
ern emigration to Virginia instead of the
west. Our opinion always has been that
"V irginia presents extraordinary induce
ments for those desiring new homes, the
land being equally productive with the
west, and the climate far more salubrious.
The only drawback thus far has been the
absurd sensitiveness of the native popula
tion in settingdown the "freedom of speech"'
of northern men as abolitionism, when not
one in a hundred would disturb the pecu-
Jiar institution beyond "opinion," even if
they bad the opportunity. In the region
alluded to, lands can be bought at from a
nominal price to $8 per acre. Should we
ever pull up stakes at all, our course would
probably be towards Ceredo or some other
inviting point in the Old Dominion.
KANSAS. —Advices from Kansas, receiv
ed by telegraph from St. Louis, tate that
the Con-titutional Convention adjourned on
the 7th inst., having provided that the
"slavery section" only of the Constitution
shall be submitted to the people. A pro
visional .State government, with Gen. Cal
houn as Governor, was fom A to go into
operation immediately, an enterprise that
copies too closely after the Topeka scheme
ol the Free State men to receive the ap
proval of those who denounced that effort
as treasonable. Gov. Walker has been in
voked to call an extra session of the re
cently elected Legislature to meet the
emergency.
The Fall Of Delhi. —After a siege un
surpas.e< in recent times by any except
that of Sebastopol, Delhi has fallen, and
British arms may be considered as once
more in the ascendant in India. The siege
was begun early in May and lasted till the
20th of £epte-ro'.er, when, alter a fight of
six days, the British gained complete pos
session of the whole city. The loss of the
British in the final attack, does not appear
to have been very heavy, and as it is stated
that the King of Delhi and great numbers
of the rebels escaped, it is presumed that
their garrison also did not suffer to any
very greet extent. But "no "juarter" to
the men was the order given by the Brit
ish commander, and, we may fairly con
clude that when the captors entered the
city there was fearful slaughter.

Child Killed ly a Bear. —The National
Democrat, of Johnstown, says that a small
child was attacked and destroyed by a bear,
in the woods about two miles from Summit
ville, Cambria county, last week.
" llalf a Loaf is Better than no Bread."—
The Irish laborers on the railroad, in Hart

we hope he'll remember us.
Thursday of last week, one million
of dollars in specie, belonging to the L'uited

Nicholson, Esq.
Sosf-An association, headed by Mrs. Sarah
J. Hale, has been formed in Philadelphia for
the purpose of procuring places for females
throughout the country. Qsod bouse servants
can find ready employment, but girls
and women are here in abundance already.
IfluThe democratic papers have much fault
to find with the votes of some colored men in
Ohio who voved for Chase, but not a word of
condemnation against some hundreds of sav
age, half naked and ignerant Indians, who
aided the democracy in Minnesota in electing
a number of their candidates.
e learn from the Harrisburg Tele
graph that GOT. Pollock has appointed Hen-
James T. llale, of Centre county, Hon. Eli
Slifer, of Union couDty, and Jacob C. Bam
berger, of Dauphin county, to b Commis
sioners to investigate the condition of the
Bank of PennsylTania.
Damages for Slander.— ln the District
Court at Pittsburgh, Pa., a day or two since,
a young lady of that city obtained a verdict
of $l,lOO against a well known dry gooda
merchant, for having falsely accused her of
defrauding him of a pair of corsets, and pub
licly insulting her in consequence.
ISa-A great hunt came off near Browns
ville, last week. The huntsmen divided into

Saowden, and the other under A. 11. Shaw.
The game bagged reached within a fraction

pheasants, 4c.
DEATH BV LIGHTS IVR?— Singular Coinci
dence.—On Friday last, a woman in Corydon,
(Ind.) wlnse name we did not learn, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed. At
the same instant, just as the lightning flashed,
her sister, who wag lying on a sick bed, expi
red. I his is certainly one of the most sin
gular fatalities of which we have ever heard.
Shower of Lizard*.— The Le Roy (N. Y.)
Gazette say that during the heavy rain on
Sunday night last, live lizards, tome of them
measuring four inches in length, came from
the clouds like manna, though neither as
plenty nor half a3 welcome. They were
found crawling on the sidewalks and in the
streets like fugitive infantile alligators, in
places far removed frora localities where they
inhabit.
Laughable—The Philadelphia Ledger's ev
ery other day commonts on the solvency of
the city and the insolvency af the country
banks. Its editor no doubt has worked him
self up to the firm belief that the country
banks first suspended, and that, instead of the
Batik of Pennsylvania and some of its kin
dred in the city, they are all broke. So far
as we have advice to give to our readers, wa
would say keep clear of city bank notes when
the day of resumption comes.

and Mr. Quacken ,usb was very seriously in
jured The widow of Mr. A. and Mr Q
have both instituted suits for damage* the
former laying her damages at $25,000.
LOCAIi AFFAIRS.
TEMTERAXCE MOVEMENT. —A meeting
j was held the Town Hall on Monday
evening, called at the instance of the cler
'' gy, for the purpose of devising ways and
■ means to stay the progress of intemperance,
j James McCord, Esq., was appointed Pres
ident, and Captain T. F. McCoy Secretary.
Some remarks, explanatory of the objects
of the meeting, were made by Rev. Dr.
Woods, Rev. Mr. Bowers, David Candor.
Esq., Mr. Warner and Mr. Clark, when a
committee of eleven was appointed to re
port a plan of organization at a meeting to
be held on Monday evening, 30th instant
So many organizations having in view
the benefit of the liquor drinker, after a
short period of usefulness, have degenera
ted into empty declamation and show, that
it is a very difficult matter at this day to
say what course ought to be pursued. All
know and acknowledge that the intemper
ate use of liquors of all kinds is a great
evil, and many firmly believe that its use
at all is not onlj- no benefit but a positive
injury. The world however cannot be re
formed in a day, or a custom of years erad
icated in an hour or by the mere declara
tion that it ought to be done away with;
hence the question naturally arises WHAT
■ CAN BE DONE ? In our opinion, the best
measures that can be adopted will be to
induce drinking men themselves to take
hold of the matter, and like the glorious
old Washingtonians, tvho thirty years ago
thrilled many a heart with fheir eloquent
descriptions of the scenes of miser}- and
degradation in which they had been chief
actors, form an association to be composed
exclusively of drinking men, who will
pledge themselves to each other that hence
forward they will abstain from the use of
all implicating drinks, and use their best
efforts to induce all who frequent the haunts
of liquor dealers to do the same. Such an
association would do more towards reform
ing the intemperate in a single year than
ten years labor of temperate men. We
have a number of young, middle acred, and
even aged men in our midst, who almost
daily meet together and indulge in drink
ing to the detriment of both health and
pocket. They know and feel it, yet habit
and want of resolution keep them in the
downhill track. Now, why not turn from
this and become a band of brethren in a
more noble work—one that will give them
a sweeter sleep and far more pleasant
dreams than the best wine or brandy they I
ever drank? Let no false pride deter thiem,
for the community, both male and female,
will give the leaders in such a work a
countenance and support beyond their an
ticipations.
As for the temperate men, they too can
form an association, but to be of utility, it
must be one with moral courage enough to
uphold the laws and to bring to summary
punishment all who violate them. lAt
them see that the drunkard, be he high or
low, who staggers through the streets out
raging all propriety by his profane and in
decent language, is arrested and properly j
dealt with—let them see fc that those who
sell liquors to notoriously intr u.perate men
are prosecuted and punished—let them sec
that " inns and taverns" arc kept for the
purpose intended, and the drinking man
will then see that those who profess to be
his friends are in earnest. We want no
j
new laws on this subject at this time, but •
a rigid enforcement of those in existence,
which are at present unfortunately almost
a dead letter.
PUBLIC OFFICERS. —During the Nov em-,
ber court, William Creighton, Esq., was
sworn in as Commissioner, and took his
seat at the Board, which now consists of
the following: JacobLinthurst, President,
Wm. Wilson, and Win. Creighton, Esqrs
Jacob Hoover, Esq., is the retiring member.
Elected at a time when partisan feeling ran
high, and subsequently connected with the
letting and building of the new jail, he
had of course many difficulties to eontend
with, which however he met with promp
ness and fidelity.
The new sheriff, T. E. Williams, Esq.,
took possession of the "jail and office last
week. He has appointed Wm. Shimp, Esq.,
formerly Sheriff of this county, his Depu
ty -
The new Register and Recorder will en
ter upon his duties on the Ist December,
and the Treasurer on the Ist January.
iguThere are two dogtype establish
ments in full blast at present, one of John
son's wagons at the hay scales, and Smith's
old established gallery across from the Ga
zette office. Just now pictures are taken
as low as 25 cents, but next week they will
probably come down to nothing and a plate
of oysters or soma other gift furnished the
sitter. A young lady who has had herself
taken at both places says she would like to
see the stores following, suit, as she is in
want of two or three dresses; and thinks it
would be delightful to buy levy calico for
three or four cents.
MOLASSES FROMJCITINEHE SUGAR CAXE.
—We have had samples of molasses from
John R. Weekes, Esq., from the Farmer's
High School, and oae or two others, bt
by far the best article we have yet seen was
manufactured by Richard Morrison, year
Newton Hamilton. The syrup is almost
transparent, and in taste approaches the
best southern syrups. These are all first
experiments, but are ample evidence that
even fanner in our county can, with a lit
tle effort at learning the mode of boiling,
manufacture an abundant supply of molaa
ses fox his own use, if not for sale. An
article on this subject will be found under
our agricultural head in to-day's paper.
GAME AS IS GAME.—The fojlowincr ac
count of a hunter's doings in Armagh
towaship, we copy from the Democrat, as
furnished by a correspondent at Miiroy:
About the first of September last, John
Treaster, of Armagh township, commenced
to trap at a deer lick, not far from bis res
idence, and had caught some in this way,
but he soon discovered that he had a part
ner in the business of taking them from
the trap, which, on strict observation he
discovered to be a panther, which relieved
him of two or three of his deer, without
bis consent. He, however, continued his
trapping operation, the result of which was,
the capture of six deer, two bear, and final
ly, on the 10th inst., the capture of his
panther-ship. Mr. Treaster fired three
shots into the panther before he became
docile, although fast in the trap. The
length of the panther was nine feet, and
the weight of the entire carcass, 155
pounds.
P. 8. Since the above was in type a cor
respondent has also given us the above par
ticulars, with the additional intelligence
that by the signs three more panthers are
about! The one caught can be seen at the
slaughter house of A. Swartaell in Miiroy.
The trap used by Treaster is a common
wolf, weighing 14 pounds, and was set
about 4 miles northeast of Locke's Mills.
SAD ACCIDENT.—John H., a son of
John Ruble, of Granville township, some
ten or eleven years of age. fell from the
lft of his father s barn to the floor on
Tuesday of last week, receiving some severe
internal and external injuries. He linger
ed until Friday morning, when death put
an end to his sufferings.

THE RECENT STORM A\D FLOfiD.
(Frorci U>e JvjtkaS, JW. 11.}
During the past week there bare been hea
vy rain* throughout the counties on the line
of the Erie Canal and Central Railroad *re?t
|of Syracuse. On Monday came the ro t ter
rific storm of all. It began early in the
I morning. The rain fell in torrents, accompa
nied by a violent gale, rooting up tree*, blow
ing down chimneys, destroying fences and
sheds, and in some instances unroafing hou
ses.
The storm was immediately followed by the
heavy freshets and floods. IliTer* and creeks
bum their usual boundaries, submerged the
adjoining fields, and swept away bridges, mijl
dams, and whatever opposed their resistless
coarse. Canal embankment* and railroad
culverts shared in the common ruin, leading
again to new disasters. Mail communication
was completely cut off yesterday in that sec
tion, and is even yet so much interrupted that
the full extent of damage done cannot be as
certained.
East of Palmyra and east of Newark sev
. eral breaks in the Canal occurred. The dam
age can hardly be repaired in less than five
days. >cx
The present flood is the greatest knswn in
forty years, the high water reaching houses
and barns never before touched by it. Near
ly the whole track of the railroad from Weeds
port (Cayuga county) to a mile this side of
Newark, (Wayne county.) a distance of 25
miles, was at one time under water. In some
places the water st.osd at the depth of four
feet. This was caused by the giving way of
the banks wf the Canal, submerging every
thing in the neighborhood.
HoUvway's Ointment and Fills. —Cough,
B>re threat, bronchitis, asthma, tightness of
the chest and pain in the left side, the pre
cursors and accompaniments of consumption,
are rapidly subdued by the regular application
of the Ointm> nt after warm fomentation of
the throat, chest and side. There is no prep
aration in existence whieh passe* so quieklv
from the surface to the diseased and irritated
membranes employed in the office of respira
tion. 0..e or two application* will sometimes
restore the voio* which has been reduced tea
husky whisper by cold, and enable the gain
ing victim of asthma to respire freely, regu
larly, and withi-ut pain. A few dose* of the
Pills, by promoting the general health of the
system, minister to the perfection and perma
