They are fully established as the most universal family medicine now in use, and they will maintain their pre-eminent renown by the intrinsic and comprehensive virtues which acquired it.

What Italy is la Arras Against. Ihe Ujiiniom Xalionale, a liberal Italian journal, s.iy - ; W c receive from Rome numerous ]< tiers, which all agree in contradicting the news | circulated by several journals, that all the I political prisoners Lfdoiigmg to llie I'uiiii'g l nas have Loeii released. j'hc fact is that ; they all, without a single exception, remain in irmis. Fome few prisoners (the Opio i ione gives their names) were set at liberty I on June 24, ! uf nunc of them were the • Roj)i:igiias. Of ih. se very few, almost all, had Lot :t few weeks i r iays to remain in prison before the u rm ol their sentences would expire, an 1 the majority returned to their families afflicted with incurable dis eases contracted during tlu-ir confinement. 'What matter? said the priest,'we have done our best to save their souls!' A fa vorite device of the Roman Government, v. lien it wishes to gain clemency, is to re mit an illusory j M'tionoi a heavy sentence, particularly in nscs where the recipient of the favor has already suffered so much that he is not likely to Live to t njoy it. For ex ample, four years Lave Leen struck off the sentence of haid labor to which young Mez zopreli, of Tocli was condemed. Rut he is now nothing but a living skeleton, stretch, d :;p(.,t a K iof suffering. He was otiee a rich tuorchauL f iioa. his irupris >u ment lie lias learnt the death of his lather (who died < f grief.'; of hi. two sons, and the utter ruin of his h OUFO. Ilis young and beautiful wife had been obliged to go out to service to provide for the sustcr.an.ee of his of y remaining child. Here 40 years of the ga eys is quite a com mon thing. Rut this is not all; political vengeance inflicts a sentence of fifteen or twenty t ears in irons even after death.— In these cases the skeleton ol the prisoner, when he dies, is kept uuburied and in irons. \ hen the l'opo thinks it desirable time to show mercy, the number of years of imprisonment remitted is deducted, in the first instance, from those to he suffered after death, so that, v ,n v w hose name? are paraded as instance oi his Iloimt ss' eiein cncy have no hope but to die in the galleys, and have no other ground for rejoicing than this—that the tetters will be removed from their bones while their rottenness is in somewhat less advanced state than they were originally led to anticipate. There is no country in the world hut Koine where these refinements of cruelty are indulged in. To conclude with an individual case —Giovanni Lucenti, a Roman, now lies in prison, working out a sentence of otj years in irons. He was a prosperous tradesman, and the father of a large family, whom he had brought up in the enjoyment of ease and comfoit. The Pope has just granted him a remission of 2;> months out of his 30 years! \\ hat a mockery! Lucenti,since he has been in prison, has lost a leg and an eye, has become deaf in one ear, Las a tu mor in his liver, a chronic disease of the chest, and a squamose affection of the epigastrium. Js not this killing by slow torture. famous case of the two mothers and one baby, wherein Solomon displayed his sagacity, has been matched in Rutland, Vt, where a woman charged another with stealing her child for a baby, and the magistrate, after hearing a good deal of con flicting testimony, decided in favor of the woman who cried the most. That was sub stantially the judgement of Solomon in the other case, and is probably correct. ifcyAccording to the Cincinnati Gazette, there has been a rumor current in Brook lyn, Ohio, that a resident of that place had been latley buried alive. The deceased was quite advanced in years, and was bur ied the third day after he was taken sick. A minister, a friend of tire family, who saw the body after it was laid out i'or the grave, said that if it wuc a friend of his he should not be buried. lie said this because the body was still warm, and by presMnga lin ger upon the skin the color would come and go, as it will upon the skin of a person alive. Several persons witnessed this, and others declared they saw a twitching of the mus- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1360. cles oI t:ie face. One of his sons married within a week after the funeral, and the deceased, it is said, was net on the Lest j terms with his children. )n Wednesday morning, September 5, on Mrs. Curry's plantation, in Wilkinson . county, Miss., a steam engine had been erec ted. Mrs. Curry, and some ladies with her, were anxious to see the engine in motion, ! and a negro was ordered to fire up and put on steam. The steam made the engine re volve very slowly; more steam was ordered on, when the motion ol the engine was fu i rious and appalling. The overseer called to the negro to shut oil" steam, but he had I lost his senses by fright, and fled, together : with the ladies. Mr. Floyd ran to stop the ! engine, but just as lie reached it, met an i explosion which tore his body into f'rag -1 ments, scattering them far and near. Half of his head, inelu ling one eye, could not bo found for burial. j Sharking Ex! raord inory. —The sloop j "Kmma," formerly the "Splendid,'' had ! returned from a cruise around French Fri l gate iMioal, where she had been to obtain shark's fins and seal oil. During her cruise she has taken about 800 sharks, some of monstrous size, with jaws large enough to swallow an ox whole. Several encounters were had with their savage shark-ships, j during one of which a shark hit a piece out of the sloop's side larger than a man's head. < )n another occasion, two sharks which had been caught actually towed tlie sloop seve al miles to leeward, though she had both of her anchors down at the time. These ; tins which the sloop has been in search of, ; are eaten by the Chinese, with whom they | are considered a choice delicacy.— f/ouo | hda paper. Death <>f the Aotonou* " AW Toicn send:' —Mrs. Mofiatt, of Castleton, once notorious as Rosin a Townsend, the keeper | of the house of ili-iamc in Thomas street, New York, where Helen Jewettwas mur dered, nearly a quarter of a century since, died at Castleton, below this city, on Sat i urday last. She lias resided in that village i lor nearly twenty years, and was a very ex emplary member or the Methodist Church. Bhe was a woman of active benevolence, j and was foremost in every movement to ! ameliorate the condition of the poor. It was supposed by many that when she died she might throw some additional light upon ; the murder of Helen Jewett, which caused such intense excitement throughout the ! country at the time of the trial, hut she never revealed it. What little property she had she bequeathed to her husband, ! with whom she had lived contented and happy for many years.— Albany Knicker bocker-, 21 st. Henry Winter Davis cn the Present C nvass. BALTIMORE, Sept, 27. —Hon. Henry \\ inter Davis, member of Congress from the Fourth Congressional district of Mary land, made a speech to-night, at the New Assembly Ilooms. He satisfied the general anxiety to know exactly the position he occupied in refer ence to the pending Presidential canvass. iL- speech occupied two hours and twenty minute- 1 . While he supported Boll,yet he denounc ed all coalition with Democrats, whether of the Breckinridge or Douglas school. IJ is review of the advocates and professions of the Disuionists of the South was merci less. What Lincoln, he said, thinks, is what Jay thought in reference to the condition of the Territory. That it is now free, and it is therefore unjust to pass any law on the subject. The Republican party was not an Aboli tion party, and had, in all its acts, shown, so far as the record would show, only en deavored to bring back legislation on the subject of slavery where it was before the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. He was for silence; for doing away with agita tion on the slavery question. Douglas had done one good to the country. lie had been an advocate for free speech and the right to think as our fathers thought on the Constitution, though lie does not think with them. Douglas, in his opinion, was the true ex ponent of the Democratic creed, and not Breckinridge. The South had used him, expecting to find a tool and found a master. He had Breckinridge upon the hip when he quoted the language of the Kansas bill, and Buchanan when he referred to the lan guage ot his letter of acceptance, that a Territory, like a State, had the right to determine its own domestic institutions. The infallibility of the Democratic party was destroyed. They pilfered amongst themselves, and he was glad of the pros pect that it was about to be turned out to 1 V . get an airing. !lr insisted that the dangers of allowing the election of President to go to the House ought to be avoided. It was a question that ought to be settled by the people. In case of Lincoln's election he did not be lieve the Disuniouists could get a regiment in the field. He objected to the timidity of the can vass, and urged every man to utter to the people what he believed. Ho thought with Mr. Millson, of Vir ginia. while it was his duty to warn his people of danger, it was his dutv also to tell them when there was none, and lie de clared there was no danger of a dissolution of the 1 nicn ;f the Republican or any other party were successful. Resolutions of the Wide Awake Club. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopter, at an adjourned meeting of the Wide Awake Club of Lcv is town, Monday night, September 17th, 16G0, i vlz WHEREAS, the approaching contest in No vember for President is, in the deliberate opinion of this meeting, depend at on sue cess in part n the result of the election in October lor Governor; and believing as we do, "asgoes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union" —and as the hopeful issue of tne campaign in the State ol New York has been abandon ed by the friends and supporters respectively of Douglas, Breckenridgo and Bell—who have been a!i equally the opponents of a protective tariff—thus making the Keystone State, the great battle 11. Id of the campaign ; and learning from reliable sources, that the proposition has been made to transfer to this State all the money, raised in the city of New Y'ork, to aid in carrying the election in October as the prestige of success in Novem ber, thus overslaughing the friends of a pro tective tariff, of the homestead Lilt, and those who would reserve, and keep sacred the ter ritorial domain of (he nation as a home for the homeless—as the land of the free, Therefore, Ecsolecd, as freemen of the Keystone State, determined to be free, amid our own native mountains, hills, valleys and plains, that we stand where we have stood, pledged with unwavering firmness to the cause of freedom, battling for th > right in j the great contest for human liberty— With Freedom's burner streaming o'er as, And Slavery's cohorts fierce bef.ir.,- us. Pcsolved, that liberty is national, now and forever; and that the territories by every role of right, should be and remain free forever j to white labor. Resolved, that protection to American la- - bor and a home for the homeless, be inserib- j e.l on our bannc-rs, as the cardinal principles I uf our party and its creed. Resolved, that we advocate no principles, i cherish no doctrines, and occupy no ground j which was not occupied by " the fathers of the Republic" for which we cannot find a I warrant in the writings of Washington, Jef- j ferson, Patrick Henry, William Wirt and j Henry Clay. Resolved, that we will battle for the imraor- j tal principles erabodie-d in the Declaration of | Independence, and only yield, when there is j no longer a heart to pulsate, and au arm to | strike. Resolved, in view of the conflict, now rag ing fiercely and strongly around us, that we will advance with fearless step to the combat, and neither shrink nor falter, before the ser ried cohorts of a corrupt administration, or of the linked batallions of the pro slavery ! factions, contending for a sectional institution j against the friends of national liberty. Resolved, that the " woolly heads of 'SG," . have turned up the uncompromising and bold | Republicans of 'GO, with one ground to stand ; on—one object to roach—and one country to ' serve. Resolved , that tlie glorious Constitution i cemented by the blood of our fathers, tread- ; ing the snows of winter with naked and bleed- i ing feet, rightly interpreted means liberty, not slavery, and that we hurl back with con- j tempt the opprobrious epithet, on its authors j everywhere, who, bowing before the aggres sive pretensions of a Slave Oligarchy, would i make slavery national, and reduce the inde | pendent sons of labor, the bone and sinew of j the land, to a common level with the degra- \ ded slave who hugs his chains and trembles j at the lash of the ins lent and imperious J task master. Resolved, that the only hope, which dawns on the permanence of our free institutions, ' majestically, like the God of day over our ! own Kastern hills, rests on the election of him, who, at once a nation's pride, we hope I also a nation's choice, one of nature's no blemen, bonest Abraham Lincoln. The be- 1 lief, while his administration of public affairs i would be marked by equal and exact justice ! to all the members of the confederacy with ' out distinction north, south, east and west, j his measures and 1 is counsels would be so j taken and regulated, as at last not to bring I down the lofty position of the government to j the ends, aims and purposes cf slavery: hut , give it, what the fathers of the Republic iu- ■ tended, a tendency and inclination to free- I dom. The aristocracy of slavery, ever sec | tional and sectional only, has perverted or ! assayed to pervert, tins holy end, aim and object, by a strife for thirty years, to engraft j the blight and the curse of slavery on our ! glorious and free institutions, at once the : mark and model of the times, and the wonder and admiration of the world. Resolved, that the satellites of the govern ment, the anti-tariff advocates and pro slavery factions, striving to steal our thunder, have seen, like impious Belsliazzar at the feast, the ominous " hand writing on the wall," but we cannot forget that therighteous verdict of a betrayed people will be "weighed in the balances and found wanting" in the earth quake voice of victory and rejoicing. Resolved, that we laugh to scorn the idle threats of disunion, believing that this glor ious Union was not made to be dissolved, such threats are only appeals for mercy. Resolved, that we can elect Old Abe. Resolved, we will elect him, and never doubted for a moment, that the majority which elects, has power to inaugurate. Resolved , that ttie number of idle furnaces, unemployed workmen, tenantless houses, to gethr with the exodus of our citizens to other States for the means whereby to live within the ancient Commonwealth, sufficient ly bespeak our poverty and distress, aud at test the great truth, constantly advocated by our party for forty years, with Clay at its head, that our great staples, coal aud iron, require protection. WUi> il, we prosper and flourish. WUhout it, we suffer, languish, and decay. Resolved , dwelling in our own beautiful mountain homes, and fertile valleys, we will struggle on for the great principle of protec tion, and the cause of human rights, and un- til we repose beneath their bosom we will nev er cease to ttiive or else achieve the object of our present end and aim /.•;/ ,r .7- •/ and ,:'J rious fir,';,, !/.

R solved, that the thanks of every mem ber of the \\ iile Awake Club of Lewistown he tendered by the president, pro form a, cor dially and truly, to the Hon. Horace Greely, of New York, in his fearl :sg and a! e advocacy of the cause and principles ot the great Republican party. R esoictd, that Senator Seward's rule of in terpreting the Constitution is at once sublime in conception, pure in sentiment, liberal in principle, and magnanimous in aim, and stands for beauty and simplicity of doctrine .anil elevated political wisdom unsurpassed : n the annals of literature and the history of governments. Resolved, that an extract of Senator Sew ard's Madison Speech embracing this rule be framed and hung behind the Pro.--:dent's chair. Resolved, as the New York Tribune circu lates freely in this, and the adjoining coun ties, that a copy of the foregoing resolutions, signed by the officers of the club, be forward ed to lion. Horace Greely, and be pub lished in the Weekly Tribune, and also to the Lewistown Gazette. T. A. WOIIRALL, Pres. 'J iios. E. Shutl, John Muser,, Col. John Hamilton, John Ivnisely, Vice Pres. George W. Soult. J. M. Stauber, Secty's. A Word Introductory. By the kindness of the editors of the Gazette and Democrat, the teachers of Mif flin c-ounty have the privilege of using one column of those papers weekly tor the pur pose of advancing the general cause of Ed ucation, and promoting inquiry and more intelligent interest in teachers. The ob ject of this educational column is throe fold : First, to excite more general sympa thy for the objects and means ot acquiring a good common school education, in the patrons of schools and those who desire to see intelligence and honesty prevail in so- j ciety, second, to awaken a spirit of greater earnestness and wiser effort in teachers; i and, third, to afford teachers an opportuni- ' ty to give others the result of their experi- i enee, to enlighten their fellow teachers on j points of dubious clearness. It is not expected that this column will render useless for teachers all other educa- j tional publications, but will rather increase j their desire to see what others have suc cessfully accomplished, or gain new inspi- i ration to effort from the lofty purpose and j generous aims of their coadjutors in other ! fields. Yet, the teachers of .Mifflin county ! need not look wholly abroad for examples : and incentives to action. There are among them not a few who, by virtue of fine at- 1 tammcnts and most successful experience ; in teaching, arc well qualified to write what can hardly fail to be of much benefit to less experienced teachers, and of interest • to citizens generally. While all will ex- ; pect to find whatever this contains relative I to education, still, it will not be wholly or | mainly occupied with technical details, j school room exercises, or other matters of j little general interest. One object of this ; column is to give more just views of the i liberalizing character of education, its healthful and elevating influence upon in dividuals and communities, its claims upon the support and be c t wishes of all who love their kind. Teachers of Mifflin county, it rests with you whether this column shall be a source of much interest and benefit to all who may read it; whether it shall be eagerly looked for as a means of information and of cheer by the youthful teacher; whether it shall fitly represent the intelligence and activity of this county in educational efforts, as to do what lies in your power to promote it, either by writing for this column, or by giving publicity to what is written for it. All articles intended for this column should be sent to Geo. W. Soult, Lewistown, by whom they will be transmitted, (with out the names of the writers) to the Editor of the Educational Department. The Curiosity of Childhood. Curiosity is that quality of mind which i renders its possessor observant and inquis ! itive. Childhood and youth can exhibit no trait of character more promising than this. Nor need we be surprised at the constant and insatiable curiosity of child ! hood, if we bear in raind that it has every ! thing to learn; knowledge does not unfold i her ample page to view at this early period of life. Childhood merely plays upon life's sea slioro, gathering the little grains of sand; it is in after years that it learns to pick up the pebbles of the J'hilosopher. Many regard curiosity as a verv trouble some, undesirable, and even ummiallc fea ture of youthful character, but a careful second thought will convince such that this is a mistake. Parents and teachers seem to bo quite New Series—Vol, XIV, No. 47. too unmindful of the importance of pro perly cultivating and quieting the spirit of inquiry in those entrusted to their care.— Many of those who speak MI the most glow ing terms of the benefits of education, do yet most effectually crush the germs of curiosity which foim so important and promising an element in the youthful mind In order that we may the more clearly see the benefits which curiosity confers, let us | suppose two youths of like advancement and mental capacity,—with only this dif ference, that one belongs to the inquisitive and the other non-inquisitive class, —to be placed under the care of the same instruc tor. and it is not difficult to foresee which of the two will advance the more rapidly. While the one is learning facts —which, by the way, is a very desirable accomplish ment —the other will be led by curiosity not only to learn facts, hut he will thoroughly think them over; lie will seek for "the why and wherefore;" he will in vestigate and reflect for himself, and thus will he sensibly acquire comprehensive ness, clearness and freedom of thought.— In this working over, arranging, and classi fying his mental stores, he will so lock them up in the chambers of his mind, that his must he a treacherous memory indeed if it he able to lose his treasures. AY hen once thus fixed in his mind, they will be come almost part of himself. From these facts we draw the inference that curiosity, either directly or indirectly, greatly aid in developing the power of conceiving, com prehending, reasoning, and remembering; hence, it is a most effective means of "awak ening mind," and, it should, therefore, be assiduously guided and cultivated in the young. The teacher has excellent opportunities for cultivating this spirit of inquiry in his pupils, and if he fail to do so, lie is recre ant to his duty. A question kindly an swered will encourage the asking of other questions, and this will result in a three fold advantage; the desired information will be imparted, curiosity will be gratified and encouraged, and the pupil's love, res pect, and confidence will be secured.
