extent of my ability, to promote the interests and honor of the Commonwealth, and the virtue, the happiness and prosperity of her citizens. If not successful, I have at least labored to deserve success ; and in surrend ering ihe trust committed to me, by a gener ous people, my only regret will be, that I have not been able to serve our noble Com monwealth with a zeal and ability equal to the interest I feel in her progress and web fare. Whatever of merit, or demerit may attach to my administration, whatever may be the opinions entertained of my conduct of the affairs of State, I can at least claim from my fellow citizens, with a full consciousness of its right, the award of good intention ; and will enjoy, in my retirement, the proud satisfaction of knowing that no act of mine, or of my administration, in tendency or fact, injured or corrupted the public morals. re> tarded the prosperity, or tarnished the fair fame of my native State. I will surrender to my successor the cares and responsibili ties of the office I now hold, with greater cheerfulness than I assumed them ; and will return, without a murmur, to the society and companionship of those who can approve without selfishness, and cenure o*>ly at the bidding of truth and friendship. To the judgment of impartial history I commit my administration and its acts, without a fear ef the result; and when time shall have softened the asperity of partizan feeling— healed the bitterness of disappointment and corrected the errors of prejudioo, truth will sustain the judgment and justice approve the record. _ j Our beloved Commonwealth, rich in all the material greatness, her broad and fertile fields—her lofty mountains, filled with inex. ha'.stible mineral wealth —her rivers and her streams—her internal improvements — her furnaces, rolling-mills and factories— j her colleges, academies, and her noble sy6- j tem of common schools—her churches and charitable institutions—her population, en terprising, energetic, intelligent and pros, perous—all these are justly the pride of every truebearted Pennsylvanian. Our mighty republic, "the free heart's hope and home" —the Constitution and the Union of the States—the civil and religious privileges of the people—the right of conscience and freedom of worship—the great and essential principles of liberty and free government, , here enjoyed, aDd our American Nationality, j founded in a true and single devotion to j home and country, are objects that fill with patriotic emotion, the heart of every Ameri can citizen. May they be cherished and de fended until patriotism ceases to be a virtue and liberty be known only as a name. The true glory and greatness of a nation consist, not alone in the number, privileges or intellectual superiority of her people, her material wealth or physical strength, her political position or form of government. "Righteousness exalteth a nation," and "happy is that people whose God is the Lord." Our fathers trusted in Him, and were not disappointed. Recognizing Him as the Sovereign Ruler of nations and men ; j invoking a continuance of Hiß watchful care over the interests of the Commonwealth, and His blessing upon your official labors—may your acts and the acts of those who may succeed us iu the administration of the gov ernment, in their character and results, be such as patriotism demands, and honor, truth and conscience can sanction and ap prove. JAMES POLLOCK. EXECCTIVE CHAMBER, Harritburg, January 6, 1858. J A Husband "Cut to Pieces" by his Wife, j —lt does not seem to satisfy brutality at present merely to kill , but there must be ; an extra horror, to create a sensation. A j correspondent of the Petersburg, (Va.) j Express writes from Sussex county in that : State: Our community has been startled by one j of the most revolting and cold-blooded murders that has ever been committed in this section. It occurred Christmas morn ing—the victim was a husband, and the perpetrator his own wife. From her con fession the particulars seem to be briefly these :—On Christmas morning, Josiah Freeman, the husband of the woman, threatened to kill her; so, afler reflection, she thought she would get the better of it and kill him. While he was asleep she seized a gun, and fearing the springing of the hammer would arouse him she opened the pan, and applying a coal of fire the powder exploded, the whole charge grazing j his forehead. He raised up and remarked that she had done wrong, when 9he instant ly struck him over the head with the gun, knocking him senseless. The blow was given with such force that the barrel of the gun was badly bent. While in this insensible condition she seized a knife and cut his throat. Still fearing, as she says, " that the wind might again blow breath in his body," she took an axe and butch ered the body in a shocking manner. She has been duly committed to jail for trial. DEATH FftOM THE BITE OF A CAT. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Jeanesville, Luzerne county, December 27th, says : Mr. John Abel, clerk in the employ of J. B. McCreary & Co., at Lewis Audenreid's colliery, died on the morning of the 27th from the bite of a cat. The circumstances arc very singular. About ten weeks since, he was walking from the dwelling house to the store, when he met the cat in the path. He put out his hands to play with her, when she instantly flew at him and bit him. 1 He complained a little at the time, but it passed away and no more was thought of it. He had at times, however, a great re pugnance to water, and the mere sight of it caused a shuddering sensation. On Christmas day he dined at the hotel of Mr. David Martz, at Jeanesville, and appeared in usual health. On the morning of the 27th he complained of being sick, and at last took to his bed. He suffered intense agony, trying to bite the hand which the cat had bitten ten weeks previous, and exclaiming that the eight of water made him mad—a raving maniac. His friends had to hold him to prevent his tearing his breast. Medical skill proved of no avail, and at 8 o'clock on the 27th, Sunday morning, he breathed his last.

THE POLITICAL FUTURE. A number of would-be democratic papers | are chuckling over the supposed fact that j the opponents of the National Administra ' tion have committed themselves in favor of I Mr. Douglas, by endorsing his views on the Kansas question. This is rather an illogical conclusion at present, though it may yet prove true, as it is not at all un likely there may be two democratic nomi nees for the next presidency, one of whom may be Mr. Douglas, the other a fire-eating slavery and filibuster propagandist, and be tween two such we certainly should not hesitate to support the former in preference to the latter, as the least of two evils. In part the question of slavery is settled by the decision of the Supreme Court., and so lonsr as that decision stands all good citi zens, without regard to their own opinions, must abide by it; hut side issues have sprung up, the most important of which are the right of the people of a territory to form ail their domestic institutions ac cording to their wishes, and the carrying of slave property into free states. Bigler and a few other satellites, who profess to speak for the administration, have already taken the ground that a convention, such as lately assembled in Kansas, could fonn and put in operation a constitution without submitting it to the people, and a Wash ington administration paper has already construed the Dred Scott decision to mean that slaveholders can carry slave property into free states and hold it there. Filibus terism, the tariff, a bank of issue by the government, and other important matters will probably come up, and we shall uot he surprised to see a new division of parties in which all others will be as effectually scattered as was the whig party a few years ago. Time alone however can determine this, and until it does so we shall give credit to Douglas, Buchanan, Packer, and all others, when right, and condemn them when we think them wrong. Bank Statement.

Protracted Meeting. The meeting in the Lutheran Church, under the new Pastor Rev. 11. Baker, is still contin ued with good success. There have been a large number forward at the anxious bench, and many have feund peace in believing in Christ. The meetings have been very inter esting from the beginning, and a good spirit seems to pervade the minds of the anxious auditors, who crowd the house from evening to evening, to hear the preached word, and catch up its seul inspiring flame.— The meeting was favnrod four evenings last week by the services ef Rev. Cyrus Right meycr from Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county. He is a young man, and it is exceed ingly dangerous to make young preachers the subjects of newspaper notice. If you criti cise them unfavorably, it may do them great injury, and to praise their efforts too highly is apt to excite thoir vanity, and thsreby tbey become killed with conceit. In this case, however, I think there is little danger of do ing harm either way. Mr. R, seems to carry his abilities so lightly that no one would sus pect him of having any, and whether he has made the discovery himself yet, that ho is possessed of great tact and skill, is unknown to the writer. The large congregations of people who heard him preach in Lewistown, have made the discovery that he is a workman that need not be ashamed, and is destined to make his mark in the world as a preacher of righteousness. He throws the network of th 6 G-.spel around the hearts of sinners so skil fully that they cannot escape its meshes. He strips sin of all its apparent honor and glory, disrobes it ef all its borrowed drapery and tinseled show, and holds it up to the gaze of the audience in all its naked deformity, turn ing its pretended sweets into wormwood and gall. Ho shows the people the black side of sin and contends that it has no other, and then shows by overpewering arguments, backed by scripture and experience, the emp tiness of all earthly preteneions to happiness, and their utter insufficiency to satisfy the longings of an immortaloraind. I£e then turns the attention of his hearers to the Lamb of God who takcth away the sins of the world, and represents him as the fairest among ten thousand, and the one altogether lovoly, as tho sinner's only safety ami sura refuge, in the day of bis trial. And thus he goes on from on# stream of impassioned elo quence to another until the whole audience are forced to an inward, or audible ejaculation, Amun—even so—come Lord Jesus.

A petition was presented for an alley in the borough of Lewistown, beginning at or near the southeast corner of a stable on the land of James Parker, now iu the occupancy of James Dolby, thence to run in a northwester ly direction on land of F. G. Franciscus, E. L. Benedict and others, until it intersect the public alley running parallel with Mill street, at the corner of lot of John Hamilton in the East Ward. The road cases reported at last court were either confirmed nisi or finally. The following report of the Grand Jury was unanimously concurred in : REPORT OF GRAND JURY. To the Honorable, the Judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions. The Grand Inquest, in and for the County of .Mifflin, beg leave to report, that in pursu ance of the in-tractions of the Court, they examined the Court House and visited the Jail and Poor House. As suggested by the Court, they found the rear of the Court House in bad condition, caused by a sunken pavement which leads the water towards the foundation. The Com missioners stated to the inquest that a con tract bad been made for relaying the pave ment, but had not as yet been complied with. As the walls are already somewhat injured, the Inquest would recommend the filling up of the part referred to, so as to drain away the water from the building. From an examination of the Jail they con sider the building well adapted for the pur pose intended. In the prisoner's department, the cells appear to be kept in good condition. Some of the locks on the doors, the bannis ters of the stair case and the railing of the upper tier of cells appear to he loose or bro ken, apparently done by force, and ought to be repaired before sustaining further injury. One of the pipes loading from the western cells to the main pipe, appears to be clogged by paper or some other obstruction, rendering the use of the privies at that part very offen sive. This ought to be removed, both for the health and the comfort of the inmates. The Poer House was visited without any notice to the Manager, and they found it in a highly creditable condition. The inmates, most of whom are debilitated or crippled, ap peared to be well provided for with comforta ble beds, clothing, &c.; their rooms are clean; and in all other respects every thing supplied calculated to make them comfortable in their dependent state. In conclusien, the inquest would respect fully represent to the Court that in their opinion a benefit would be conferred upon the community by gradually lessening the num ber of houses licensed for the sale of liquors, and in all cases refusing license for new ones. They conscientiously believe that where hou ses of entertainment are necessary for the accommodation of the public and entertain ment of strangers and travelers, the sale of liquor is not necessary for their support, or if so, the injury inflicted is far greater than th accommodation afforded. It is to such hou ses we must look for the source of riotous and disorderly conduot—for profanity and vul garity, which toe many iguorantly utter while under the baneful influenco of this curse of our country—and for throe-fourths of the petty criminal cases which consume the time of t;ie court and entail a heavy expense on the taxpayers.

Church in Hollidaysburg, we barn by the Standard, played hint a " Yankee trick," by calling at his residence on New Year's day, lit his absence, and ob taining an entrance through the window, spread a table with a bountiful supply of the necessaries of life and in Its centre placed a handsome purse of gold. The trick was done up in real Y'ankee style, as the Rev. gentleman had no previous notice, until his return to his home. On open ing his door his first Impression was that there were burg lars about, but on entering the room and seeing the display his fears wore most agreeably dissolved. We presume he would have no objection to having a similar trick played on hint every New Year's day, nor would we, particularly to the purse part.
