THE GAZETTE. LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday, March 4, 1858. TO OUR PATRONS. ANNUAL AND ONLY PUN THE GAZETTE MAKES. The most important question to us in these hard times is, " Shall we lie able to pay our bond, or even a part of it, this spring 1 ?!' The principal and interest am ount to 8265, and being the last we must confess we bad lived in hopes that the present spring would release us from this incubus, but thus far the prospect is poor. However our patrons some years ago once took a whim to furnish us with the amount needed in a little over a month, and we don't know but they may do so again.— Certain it is, if every one will but get the idea in his or her head that what he or she owes will make it up, and pay over accord ingly, the thing's done. We shall there fore, like Patfcnce on a monument, wait for the wagon, and if it comes, we'll pay j up—if it don't, we rather think we won't, because we can't. Notices of New Advertisements.

A convention of delegates representing the city of Philadelphia, and many of the coun ties of this Commonwealth, assembled at Ilerr's Hotel, Harrisburg, on Monday 22d j ult. The Convention was organized by appoint ing John Adams Fisher, Esq., of Dauphin county as Chairman, and Geo. S. King, Esq., of Cambria county, as secretary. After such organization, and a full and free interchange of opinions among the dele gates, the following Preamble and Resolutions j were introduced, read, fully discussed, adopt ed and ordered to he published. WHEREAS, It is desirable that all those op posed to the misrule of the National Admin istration, and especially to its atrocious at tempt to force Slavery upon Kansas against the will of the people, should unite at the en suing election on the State and County tickets, without regard to differences of opinion on other subjects, and without regard to the mode or form of effecting said object: therefore Resolved, That the State Committee, of which Lemuel Todd, Esq., is Chairman, be requested to call a Convention of all those willing to unite to effect the above object, to j be held at Harrisburg, on some day not ear- . Her than the first of July next. Resoled, That such call should distinctly ; state that, in thus inviting, no individual or party is expected to sacrifice any principle, nor to approve of any principle of those with whom he act 9, saving only earnest and j tract i cdlopposition to despotism, and the extension if human slavery over the free territories of this Republic. Resolved, That the proceedings of this Convention be signed by the Chairman and Secretary thereof, and that the same be pub lished in all the journals of this State friend- ; ly to the cause of freedom, justice and fight. JOHN A. FISHER, Chairman. Goo. S. KING, Secretary. We publish the above proceedings, with out however saying at this time thaj we j will embark in the scheme. With the gambling politicians (and we say this with no reference to the above meeting) who j during the past few years have ruled the j opposition in this State—who received thousands in money collected for political purposes, squandered some, but I'UT THE GREATER PART IN THEIR OWN POCKETS, J and then charged others with receiving if, we are done. I nder their lead, whether American or Republican, we will engage in no contest, for we would ten times soon- • er support Douglas or anv anti-Lecompton democrat for President, and a similar one j for Governor of this State, than any tool whom such mountebanks might bring in ! the field for their own selfish purposes. i That there is at the present time a large j majority of the people of Pennsylvania opposed to the doctrine of Mr. Buchanan's 1 cabinet, so far as relates to the admission of! Kansas, there can be no doubt; that these j elements, it combined, could overthrow all opposition, there 'can be no doubt—but j being comjosed of democrats, old line tvhigs, Americans, and Republicans, any 1 attempt to consolidate tliem under either of' the above names, we venture to say, would prove a signal failure. Let it be borne in mind that there is at present no important: election before us in this State, except 1 members of Congress, and unless a judi ! eious choice is made in each district the supporters of the President will again tri- ! umph. The only way to attain that choice ! is for the people, regardless of politicians, to bury the past and go into the contest solely on the great principle of free gov ernment now at issue. On that they can triumph; but if Americans and Republi cans will continue to fight each other as factions, as they are now doing in several counties, they cannot expect aid from the anti-Lecompton democrats, who however willing to administer a rebuke to the Na tional Administration, are not ready to de sert their old political friends and associates and engage in such petty squabbles as were witnessed last year. Pennsylvania Legislature. A proposition has been introduced into the Legislature to abolish the 13th judicial ; district, when the present Commission of Judge Wilmot expires, which will be in December next. On the 26th, in the House, the Dank committee reported the bill to incorporate the Mifflin County Bank with a negative recommendation. Some of the majority of the committee we believe were willing to report the bill with a clause requiring State stocks as security for the five dollar notes, i which proposition will probably be accept ed by the parties interested, and another attempt made to pass it. The bill has since been re-committed. A bill, of forty-seven pages, called an act for the "Regulation of the Militia," rc ' ported in the house, makes every citizen between 18 and 45, with a few special ex ceptions, liable to miltia duty. If he does not arm and equip himself with a musket and bayonet, a knapsack and pouch, and twenty-four cartridges, he must pay one dollar to the County Commissioners it he live in the country, but if he live in the city one dollar and fifty cents. The fund created from these fines is to go to the sup port of the uniformed militia. AVe hope that the Legislature will give the quietus to this humbug. If men want to play sol dier in our streets, strutting in costly uni form-, let tliem do so at their own expense; • 1 I there is no reason why the mechanic and laborer, who are handling the impcinents of their trade in useful employment, should be taxed that others may handle a gun. The militia system wa> always a humbug, and will always be so. A bill to increase the rate of interest to 7 per cent., and legalize as much more as can be got, has been reported in the Leg- j islature. It comprises only two sections, in the following words : SECTION 1. That from and after the 4th day of July next, the legal rate of interest in all cases, where no express contract shall have been made for a greater or less rate shall be 7 per cent., instead of 0 per cent. SEC. 2. That from and after the said day, it shall be lawful for parties to contract fur the payment of interest at a rate higher or lower than 7 per cent, yearly, as they may think proper, and to take and receive interest : so contracted for. PUBLISHING THE LAWS. —The Harris burg Herald understands that a bill is soon to be introduced into the Legislature, by a gentleman of influence and ability, to pro vide for the publication of the Laws of the State, in the papers of the Common wealth. The provisions of the bill, we are not informed of, other than it purposes that the laws relating to different counties shall be published in the papers of those counties, and the general laws in papers of Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Harrisburg, so as to give tliem the widest circulation. If this understanding of the bill be correct, we give it our earnest approval. If to such a bill a provision was added requiring notice to be given in two .r more county papers of all intended applications for private, special and other local laws, at least three weeks before application is made, another highly important feature would be added to legislation, and a great deal less trickery imposed on the people, who sel dom see more than the title of a bill until it has passed both houses and received the signature of the governor. Roads, wheth er new or for change in location, ought al so to be published before application is made to court. *V ASH I \(.T()\ A Fl<-AIKS. In the United States Senate on the 23d, Mr. Hell read the resolutions passed by the Ten nessee Legislature endorsing the Lecompton Constitution and intimating that he ought to resign, and gave his reasons for disregarding that attempt to legislate him out of the Sen ate. The Secretary of War and the General-in- Chief are diligently engaged in arranging the spring campaign against the Mormons. It has been decided not to wait the action of Congress upon the various propositions for increasing the military force, hut to withdraw troops from the frontier posts and concentrate them upon Utah. Orders in accordance with this design have been already issued. The call upon the President for information as to whether the people of Utah are in rebellion against the federal authorities has been re sponded to. The documents however contain nothing of importance on the subject that is not familiar to the public. It is also stated that the Secretary has decided to convene a court at Washington for the purpose of trying Col. Sumner on charges preferred against him by General Harney. Horace Greeley, of the New l'ork Tribune, was examined before the Tariff Investigating Committee on Saturday, and the examination was concluded in some forty minutes. Mr. Creeley ♦hanked the committee for calling him before them, and testified, we understand, that no person ever proposed to put any money in his hands to influence the action of Con gress on the tariff or on any other question, and that within his knowledge nothing of the kind was ever suggested. Until the late ex pose in Boston he never knew or heard that any money was paid or promised by Law rence, Stone & Co., or any one else, to mem bers or others to influence the action of the last Cangrcss on the tariff. LOCAL AFFAIRS. DEATH OF BRUCB MCNITT. — We an nounced in a brief paragraph two weeks ago the destruction of the Pacific Hotel at St. Louis and the loss of many lives, but it was not then known or suspected that an estimable young man, formerly of this county, was among the unfortunate victims of that horrible catastrophe. The burning of the hotel is thus described : " It appears that the entire building was enveloped in the raging element before scarce ly any of the lodgers were fully awakened to the full sense of their danger. And when the inmates were finally aroused it was only to find all opportunities of egress closed to theui, for the staircases in front and behind were already gone, or so nearly so that an attempt to escape by these means would be only rush ing into the arms of inevitable death. | " The scene that ensued baffles any effort at description. The rushing of men, women and children to and fro to avoid the blistering heat, and to search for ways to reach the streets—the shrieks of the terror-stricken and the groans of those bound to their rooms by walls of scorching fire —the shouts of those who had been called to the spot from thesur rounding neighborhood—the clambering over swaying and reeling joists—the falling floors with their loads of heavy furniture and their dearer burden of human lives—all this and more that was intensely terrible and fearful it is not given to our pen to adequatly de scribe. " The stairs gone, the roof and floors inch by inch giving way, and the lurid llauies shooting up momentarily thicker and hotter, many sought to escape the impending hazard wf being burned to death through the scarce ly less dangerous prospect of jumping to the ground from the windows. Of those who en deavored to save their lives in this way, we saw six at the Sisters' Hospital yesterday. Mr. 11. Hubbard, who arrived in St. Louis from Boston about eight weeks since, was oc copying, with his lady, a room on the third floor. Mrs. 11. was first aroused and awaken ed her husband. Hardly had he come to be conscious of the cause of the surrounding confusion, before he saw his wife leap head long out of the window on Poplar street. Seeing no other visible means of saving him self he followed her, and both fell, not fat apart, upon the pavement. Mrs. Hubbard lUMI one of her legs fractured in two places, and had the knee cap of the other dislocated. Besides this, her lower jaw was broken in two places. It is not expected she will survive. Mr. Hubbard had the ankle joint anil hip of his left leg displaced, and received a severe contusion on the forehead. lie is not thought to be in a dangerous condition. "Miss 11. Hunter endeavored to leave the building, after having been badly burned, bv jumping from the second story. In the fail one of her legs was broken and her head sc verely cut. She was placed in a furniture car, to he taken to the Sisters' Hospital, hut before arriving there she was a corpse." Numbers followed the alxive, in a lew eases escaping with mutilated limbs, but mostly ending in death. Mr. McNitt also attempted to save himself by jumping from th e window, but fell among the ruins, from which he was subsequently taken, and only recognized by two peculiar artificial teeth. " The hotel was comparatively a new one. It was erected to meet the necessities of per sons traveling on the lino of the Pacific Kail road, completed in January, ISoT, l>eir g owned by George 11. Field, who estimated its value at ?20,000. It was originally leased to Daniel W. Strader : he subsequently opened the place in the month of June, when Jacob Lyons entered into partnership with him. "The building was three stories high, hav ing a front on Seventh street f over eighty feet. The basements werj used as liquor sa loons ; the ground floor was divided off into stores. "The second story contained the office, la dies' parlor, dining room and some sleeping apartments. The third story was divid d off into small rooms, separated by lath and plas ter partitions. The capacity of the house was such as to accommodate from 100 to 12a guests. "The house was most unfortunately con structed as to safety in the event of circuni stances such as last night caused such wail ing around the neighborhood. There was but a narrow entrance on Seventh street, appro printed to ladies' use, and a public entrance. To attain egress by the former, visitors, of necessity, hud to cross many rooms and to open many doors. The main entrance was so constructed that it burned early, and cut off the *nly available chance of safety. In one other respect this house was particularly unsafe. The hack premises were, i-f we are correctly informed, merely planked in, while columns, steps, floorings, and everything ex cepting the walls wore of wood." Mr. John P. Taylor left this place on Saturday last for the purpose of bringing home the remains of Mr. McNitt. He was a soil of Francis McNitt, of Armagh, was about 25 years of age, and had been in the southwest some two years, princi pally employed as a steamboat clerk. The estimation in which the deceased was held was shown by the fact that his personal friends in St. Louis had Mr. Mc- Nitt's remains enclosed in a metallic coffin, with a silver plate thereon, and in addition paid Mr. Taylor's expenses in bringing the corps home. Two of these gentlemen also accompanied the remains about 200 miles. Mr. Taylor, with the corps in charge, reached here yesterday afternoon. A HIT OF fnoN.—We noticed a casting on a forge wagon Last week, intended we believe for an anvil at the new works at Freedom Forge, which weighed 16,175 pounds. Could Sampson have toted it out. meeting of the Lcwistown Tem perance Society will be held in the Town Hall, on Friday evening, March sth. Several distinguished speakers from abroad will address the meeting. SSfThe members of the Juniata Fire Company are requested to meet at their hall this evening, when officers will be elected and other important business trans acted. MARCH. — With the pleasant weather we | have had this winter, it is difficult (except with those perhaps who have notes, bonds, rents, or other debts to pay on the Ist April,) to realize the fact that we arc now in March, one of the spring months, most ly rough and stormy it is true, but never i theless a harbinger of sunshine, birds, flow i ers and unfolding leaves. To us at least, ' like to one of our sweetest poets, it is ever a welcome month, for we like neither the colds nor winds of winter. " l'lie stormy March Is come at. last, With wluil and cloud an changing skies; I bear Ihe rushing of the blast. That through the snowy valley flies. Ah, passing few arc they who speak. Wild stormy month, In praise of tliro; Yet though thy winds are loud and bleak Thou art a welcome month to me. For thou to Northern lands again The glad and glorious suu dost bring. And thou hast Joined the gentle train. And wear'sl the gentle nume of Spring." TOWN COUNCIL.- —The council met on Monday evening last, and among other bu siness authorized the Chief Burgess to have spouting put in front of the Hender son Hose House, a bridge over the gutter, and have the passage way properly graded. Also a new bridge over the gutter in front of the Juniata llosc House. A resolution was also adopted appropriating 9100, pay able Ist May, towards procuring a two wheeled hose carriage. The proposition of the Chief Burgess to give the \\ asbingtonians the use of the Town Hall at To cents per night for coal and gas, coupled with the condition that the offieers or members shall eall to order, or in some other mode show their disap probation of uncalled for and ill timed per sonal remarks, should any one hereafter see proper to indulge in such, was approved. As the conditions on which tliev occupy the hall are now distinctly understood, it is to be hoped no further difficulties will oc cur. ftsSL,. Scarlet fever, though mostly in a mild form, lias prevailed in parts of Brown and Derry townships, and in other parts of the county. Thus far we have heard of but one ease in town. The changeable weather at this season requires more than ordina y care to preserve health, and we would especially enjoin on all parents not to suffer their children to expose themselves to the damps of thawing weather, or hasti ly change winter for spring cloth i ng. Colds, inflammations, and frequently fatal diseases, can generally be traced to such causes. JOB F poii.

Holloway's Ointment ami I'M*. —lt is said that all productions of human skill have their day, and are superseded by new inventions or discoveries. Not so with tlnsc remedies.— "They are not for a day, but for till time." And why ? Because they strike at the gen eric root of all diseases in the blood, and med ical art can accomplish nothing beyond that. The Ointment, penetrating through flesh and iibre, like water through a porous substance, reaches the germ or radix of scrofula, salt rheum, erysipelas, cancer, tumor and all erup ti\e and ulcerous distempers, in the circula tion, and erases tlie taint at once and forever. There can be no improvement upon such a preparation, and the inward action of the Fills is equally prompt and thorough. Counterfeit IVistar's Italsaiu. We would caution the purchasers of the Balsam of Wild Cherry against an imitation article which has made itsappearancc in many places, and which might deceive the unwary by its resemblance to the genuine bottle. Of the mixture we need not speak. Unprinci pled scoundrels can always be found ready to counterfeit anything, by which they ean put money in their pockets, and they are sure to choose tlie most popular and well known a tide on which to practice their villainies. It is a lamentable fact that there are also iltalers in medicines who are willing to lend themselves to carry out this imposition, by selling such trash as genuine, because they can buy it for less than half the cost of the real article—Avoid such a man as you would a dealer in counterfeit money, for he is the greater scamp of the two. They have never dared to forge the written signature of I.

Obituary Notice of my little friend, I.Kox vKn P. son of Henry ami Ktizabeth itavlce, of Kishacmiuitlas \ alley. With this little boy I was intimately ac quainted. Although but twelve years and a few short months old, he was. I have no doubt nt all, an experienced Christian. His mind had early been directed to the Irord Jesus Christ, and he had found by sweet experience that those that seek the Savior early shall find llirn. I saw in this dear little boy so much piety, and such an anxiety to do what was pleasing to his Heavenly Father, and also, so much of promise, that I felt an unusual interest in him, and conversed with him, in the last interview I had, on a subject of great importance—whether he would not desire, if God spared him, to study for the ministry. He frankly told me he would. Taking him by the hand, I guve him my parting advice, and promised when a few years more would pass away that I would see him educated. But now, Leonard, with all his piety, with all his promise for future usefulness, has passed away—God has taken him to himself. He, but young, was a shock prepared for the granary ol Heaven. No longer will Leonard mingle with you on earth in the family circle he has gone to join the society of the re deemed in lleaven. It would have rejoiced my poor heart could I have stwnd by his bed side when his spirit took its flight ;"but this I know, though this privilege I had not, that I shall meet him ag' in. To his kind parents, brothers, and sisteis I would say, weep not — dry your tears—Leonard is not dead, but sleepeth. lie will soon rise again—yes, yes, and you, his dear friends, will meet him in the havea of eternal repose. Ho has only •rossed the swelling Jordan of death a little before you. llis little bark, though tossed upon the billaws of the dark river of death, is now safely anchored in the port called lleaven. By and by you too must cross this river. Then take Leonard's pilot, and all will b" w"! ! God bless you all, is tho prayer of > • • ' - 'i. C. M. K. Miuuiotuwn, Feb. 22, 1858.
