1 here is but little of interest doing by
our legislators at Harrisburg, most of the
bills thus far reported being of a local char
acter. Mr. Buckalew. who had heretofore
enjoyed a high character, lately introduced
a bill re-annexing the Sehool to the State
Department—a political trick entirely un
worth}- of him—as the sole object must
have been to legislate Mr. Iliekok, the
present able Superintendent, out of office.
Mr. Straub read a resolution requesting
the committee on Vice and Immorality to
inquire into the expediency o£ amending
the Liquor laws, which was briefly debated
and negatived—yeas 12, nays 15, on the
ground mainly that there was no necessity
for the resolution, as the subject was before
the committee by petitions referred to it.
The resignation of John R. Maffit as Su
perintendent of the North Branch Canal
was received.
The Aansas Election. —The official re
turns of the Kansas election, held on the
4th of January, confirm the triumph of
the Free State party, they having elected
all their candidates by an average majority
of 415. The Seriate stands Id Free State
men to G Democrats, and the House 29
Free State men to 15 Democrats. The
majority against the Constitution on the
4th of January was 10,226 —the alleged
frauds committed in (Oxford, Shawnee,
Kickapoo and other places, being counted.'
Notwithstanding this general expression
against the Lecompton Constitution, it is
alleged that .Mr. Buchanan's administration
will use all its influence to admit Kansas
under it
is confidently stated in the diplo
matic circles that a war between Mexico
and Spain is inevitable. The latest advices
from Mr. Dodge, our Minister to Spain,
state that it is the generally received opin
ion at Madrid that Spain will shortly make
a demonstration on Mexico, England and
France to the contrary notwithstanding,
and that active preparations to that end are
now in progress. Intimations of Santa
Anna's complicity in the contemplated in
vasion are also mooted. The government
has sent stringent orders to the Captain
General of Cuba to have the Spanish naval
forces in America put at once in the high
est state of efficiency.

requested Rev. Mr. Roes to preach a ser
mon M without a hell or devil in it," that

perhaps hope there is no such place as the

S
MIFFLIN COUNTY BAN&. —A till has
been reported in the Senate, and ordered
to be printed, incorporating this institution,
which is to be based upon real estate to Le
mortgaged for the benefit of noteholders.
It is entirely different from ordinary bank
charters, but whether it will meet with
favor at the hands of our legislators and
executive remains to be seen. In this
county the expression in its favor is strong.
THE WEATHER continues to puzzle all
classes, the oldest inhabitant included, the
temperature of some days being nearly the
same we had in June last. Fanners have
been plowing in all directions, and more
ground has probably been turned up in this
•juarter than ever before in the same month.
Thus far this state of things has been ex
tremely favorable to the poor, both on ac
count of out-door labor and consumption of
fuel, though it can hardly be considered as
favorable to the grain crop.
4*22' A correspondent calls our attention
to the fact that on several occasions person
alities have been indulged in at the Wash
ingtouian meetings in the Town Hall,
which to say the least were entirely out of
place, and certainly not necessary to the
cause advocated. All speakers can illus
trate the subject of temperance without
traveling beyond the record and introducing
the names of persons who are neither in
antagonism to the cay.-e, ir at variance
with the society. All men It.rv-e their
faults, and it will be time enough to throw
stones when one can be found who i.-
without them. So saith one present.
RELIGIOUS. —Fifty *ix persons, a portion
ol those who professed the faith during the
present revival in the Lutheran C'hnrch,
became members on Sunday last, and with
a large number of others partook of the
holy sacrament. The meetings still con
tinue to he held every evening, the peop!
being evidently unwilling to bring them to
a c!o>e. in the meantime we would call
the attention of the Trustees to the gangs
of boys and young men who nightly con
gregate on the pavement in front of the
church, behaving as only blackguards will
behave, and at the e!o>e of the meetings
obstructing people coining out of church
and passing sneering remark* to females
without protection. l air words having
failed in abating thi- scandalous conduct,
it is time other measures should be taken.

MIFFLIN COUNTY TEACHERS ASSO- i
CJATION.
Mr. Editor—Permit me through jour col
umns to make some mention of this orgaui
j zation, which held its second meeting at Mil
! Roy last week. We have attended several
j Teacher*' meetings in this county before, but
j none which equalled this either in the nuru
j ber of teachers, the attendance of the citizens,
ior general interest. Besides, the most un
( bounded hospitality was manifested by the
people of the town and vicinity towards the
| Teachers. They not only delighted them bv
their music and cheered them by their atten
dance at the meetings, but welcomed them to
their homes and presented them with the best
of fare. For taese favors they shall ever be
gratefully remembered by us.' On tho other
hand we hope that our meeting mav be the I
means of increasing the zeal of that generous
people in the cause of popular education ;
and that ere long we may see a good Union
school building in that town, wefi furnished
arid filled with competent Teachers, who shall
impart to rich and poor alike a sound practi
cal education. By this means they would not
only decrease the expense of instruction hut
increase the efficiency of their teachers. We
would earnestly recommend to them a fair
and honest investigation of the merits of
union Graded Schools. We also hope that
the Teachers by this meeting may be filled
with a stronger love of order, a more intense
desire of improvement, and a greatfr interest
in and a higher appreciation of their work.
Then when wo meet again we can witness
with pleasure the fruits of our mutual labors.
We cannot close this article without saying
a word in regard U the article of " Sigma"
in last week's paper. We agree with him
Want ." Professional Teachers;" we
- men tram ed both in the theory and
practice of teaching; we need men from s-ur
midst, acquainted with our wants, yet skilled
in the remedy Lntil the State Normal Schools
are opened this want of trained teachers must
be supplied by Associations, Institutes and
Normal Glasses. Let us ha T e these in our
midst, and do our best with them till our State
System gives us something better.
