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.

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.

The following statement of the condition

that the only safety for a bill holder is in
the bills discounted, of which the public

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.

ROADS.
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.

ScKPßisr. VISIT.— The friends of the Kev. G. W. Cooper,
pastor of the M. E. 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.
Oxygenated Bitters,
A Sure Cure for Dyspepsia. —The history
cf this remarkable medicine, and its astonish
ittg success in obstinate cases of Dyspepsia,
Asthma, and General Debility of the System,
places it among the most wonderful discover
ies in medical science, and has given it a rep
utation far beyond any remedy known for j
these complaints, in all their various forms. [
The Oxygenated Bitters contain nothing which j
can intoxicate, and the medicine has no eimi j
larity whatever to the various alcoholic mix- j
tares disguised as "Bitters," being purely a
medicinal compound, in which are combined
the most valuable remedial agents aud ape
culiar oxygenated property hitherto unknown,
but highly efficacious in all complaints arising
from weakness and derangement, or prostra
tion of tho stomach and system generally. It
is a mild and agreeable tonic, removing all
disagreeable symptoms, and assisting nature
in her efforts to restore the impaired powers
of the system.

Holloway's Pills. —There is a disease which
has no name, yet is exceedingly common. It I
consists in a relaxation cf the whole vital
system. The appetite is poor, the spirit. 1 ? low,
the body feeble, the nerves unstrung, the eyes
lustreless, the cheek wan and pale, the whole
physique in a 6tate of prostration. The suf
ferer, though perhaps in the morning or me
ridian of life, is feeble almost to decrepitude.
To rouse the system from this syncope there
is no medicine comparable to Holloway's
Pills. They recruit the appetite, the strength,
the nerves. la fine, they , rejuvenate, so to
speak, the entire corporal system, and as a
natural consequence improve the condition of
the mental energies.
Cholic and Croup in the Stom
ach can be relieved in teu minutes, in every
case, by using from five to thirty drops of
Du Vall's Galvanic Oil.
