Spring than ever, will be the'result.of Gov. Geary’s antiring exertions to maintain peace and a friend ly feeling among the people. > ,Our,-produce., market ia active, and the demand for all artinleß is good. The receipts of grain are heavy, and prices have advanced.- . ) The city is very healthy at present—the number of deaths during the past week sums up some sixty-four; of these 31 were adults, and S 3 children of the age of 5 years and under. There were 38 commitments to our county jail for the' month of February—3 of which number were for murder, and 2 for assault .with intent to kill. The number of prisoners now confined is seventy. Our Legislature adjourned on Thursday last. The Know-Nothlngß—about a dozen—met in Conven tion, or caucus, ratber, and named Jas. S. Rollins as their candidate for Governor, but whether he will consent to run is not yet determined. Mr. Wilson still insists thathe is an 1 independent candidate, and says h e will take the stump t with the “ Constitution in one band and the Whig banner in the other.” The Democracy of this city met at the Court House ou Saturday evening last, to ratify the nomination made at Jefforson.clty by the Democratic State Convection, of R. M. Stewart, for Governor. The plan for the campaign is not yet fixed upon, and the Demacracy await the move ment of the enemy. At the municipal election in Chicago a riot occurred at one of the polls, and one or two men were killed—the Ger mans were fighting the Irish. John Wentworth—better known as “ Long John”—was elected Mayor on the Repub lican ticket, without opposition—the Democrat!* candidate withdrawing. This, no doubt, will be heralded as a great Republican victory. Dr. Chas. Leib, Clerk of the Illinois House of Representatives, was recently presented by a number of Chicago gentlemen with a magnificent gold watch and chain, os a token of their approbation of the kindness and urbanity manifested during the recent ses sion of the Legislature. The gift was well merited, not only for the gentlemanly beariug of the Doctor, but for his untiring advocacy of Democrats men and measures—and particularly the strenuous exertions made during the re cent Presidential campaign. Tho Doctor was deserving this from bis political friends and more too, and we hope Mr. Buchanan In tho.dispensation of his favors will not overlook the claims ofsuch a fust friend as Dr. Chos Lelb. The remains of ffm. T. Sherrard, (whowas shot in Kan sas during a quarrel) by a man named Jones)—passed through this city accompanied by several friends, on their way to Virginia. Sherrard Is the man who undertook to spit in Gov. Geary’s face, and from all accounts was rather obnoxious to the quiet and peaceful citizeris of Kansas— always Inclined to quarrel, and ever ready to agitate ex citement and turmoil. Tho affairs of Kansas are now in a state of quietude,and no apprehensions of anymore dis turbances. Gov. Geary and hiß whole courso of action since he entered tho territory, has bean sustained, and biv popularity is dally spreading to all sections. He has done more for tbe good of Kansas during his brief sojurn there than did either Gov. Reeder or Gov. Shannon. At the time Shannon was first put there, we then took occasion to say—“ho was not the man.” Rut with Gov. Geary in Kansas and Mr. Buchanan in the Presidency, we aro in clined to believe that no more *‘civll war .will reign In that unfortunate country ; emigrants will find upon their arri val there, laws, and a determination to carry them into effect, for tbu protection of life and property. Kyerythlng will now work as smoothly there as in tbe sister territory of Nebraska. We think we hazard nothing in inviting emigration to Kansas, where good land can b 9 bought at moderato prices. The Pacific Railroad has been greatly obstructed for the pastthreo weeks by land slides, caused by the frost com ing out of the ground. This will always be the case on this road after every heavy rain, and will be a serious drawback to tbe operations of the road. The city of Quincy, Ills., a population of 17,000. Qnincy is a flourishing place, and has a railroad connection witn Chicago. Our citizens wore somewhat startled on Saturday mor* ning by the announcement of a defalcation at the Mutual Savings Institution. It appears tbat Adolph ;Nohl,—who previously sustained an untainted character for honesty— Treasurer of the Institution, had absconded with a large amount of the funds. A week or two sinco Mr. Nohl coin : plained about being sick, and sont for the President of the Institution, and informed him that his illness was not of the body but the mind—that he had defrauded the Insti tution, and his conscience would give him no peace until he should make all tbe reparation in his power. He con: fessad that he was a defaulter to a large amount. On {his same day, Nohl executed two deeds of trust to the Institution, to securo the payment of two certain pro missory notes, and making Nathaniel Holfbei,-trustee. The notes wore for $30,000 each, and on the 4th of March he made a third note for $30,000 moro.' Nohl has some real estate property here, all of which, with bis household furniture, he assigned to the Institution. The amount embezzled is not yet known, but is supposed to bo large.-r He has left for parts unknown, and some aro inclined to the belief that he has committed suicide. This defalcation, It is said, will net interfere with the business of the Insti tution, for it is fally able to stand up under this heavy shock. A very ingenious swindle took place in onr city a few days since. A man calling himself John Dorsey went to several of our business houses and selected stocks for Kan sas. He called .upon A. P Ladew <6 Co., type founders, and presented a letter of introduction from Conner & Son, of New York, and requested that they would accompany him to the Banking houso of Lucas, Simonds & Co., to Identify him bo as to enable him to draw acheok. One of the firm accompanied Dorsey, and endorsed a draft for $l5OO. This drattnfterwards proved to be a forgery. The same evening Ladew, Peers A Co. received a letter from Conner A Son Informing them that their book keeper had absconded with leveral hundred dollars, and gave his name as John Cho* pat, and the description answered that of John Dorsey.—- The rascal has made good his escape, but officers are upon his tracks, and it Is to be hoped they may succeed in bring ing him to justice. Ladrew, Peers & Co., are responsible for the $1,500, as they endorsed the draft. * On the morning of the sth of March, everybody was ea gerly awaiting tbo Inaugural of President Buchanan, but the telegraph only brought us a meagre synopsis, from which nothing definite could be arrived atj but on Sunday morning the Republican contained'it entire, and we have the first man to meet that does not endorse every word of of it. It Is universally acknowledged as a staunch state document, and has given entire satisfaction to all parties, I so far as we are informed, and should Mr. Buchanan carry ont the policy there laid down—of which we have not a doubt—his administration will bo one worthy of example, and shine out upon the pages of the history of our country as the administration of the affairs of the American Conti nent. Upon the Kansas question, no one can utter a word against bis inaugural, if he believes in the policy of the people arranging their own domestic affairs, and calmly s übmitting to the majority—the will of the people—so ex pressed by their voices. In this, Mr. Buchanan will be sustained both in the North and the South. And the gen oral'policy laid down in his Inaugural Address, will like wise receive the sanction and aid of all conservative and Union men in upholding that policy, which tends to strengthen and bind together in one common bond all the States of tho Union. So far as we are concerned, wo appre hend no danger of the dissolution the States, under the administration of Mr. Buchanan, and all we ask is a fair and honorable expression of the people—the aid and servi cep of those desirous of seolng the Uniou maintained—di rected for that common good,and our new Piosidont will not bo found wanting. Wo have always said Mr. Buchan an would not be a President to favor this, that, oi another section, but that he would administer the affairs of the Government for the benefit opthe people—/or the. benefit of the country. His first step has shown him such a man, and 'should the “responsibility” alone rest upon him, he, alone, then, will maintain the rights of the States. As for his cabinet, there is not a dissenting voice; they are men, statesmen of acknowledged ability, and we have no donbt acceptable to all, unless it be some who are never satisfied. With such n President and such a Cabinet, the country will flourish and prosper, and the people have no cause of complaint for their elevation to the first and high est office in their gift, of such a statesman 1 as James Bu chanan. We must, however, expect to hear of complaints coming from men of the opposition, but those complaints will be looked upou by moa of sonse, as being predicated upon political jealousy and prejudice, and will result in little or no avail. We anticipate a prosperous and brilliant administration under the supervision of Mr. Buchanan. Col. Hostetter and Ben. F. Herr were In our city last week. L. M. Kennett, M. C. of this district, returned on Saturday to the city. The Hon. Edward Everett, Ib to visit, . our city next month. Serious Aceident on tlie Pennsylvania Railroad. Harrisburg, March 12.— An acoident of a very serious character occurred upon the Pennsylvania Railroad, westward of this place. In one of the tunnels an emigrant train was run into, this morning, by a freight train.— Five persons were killed and six injured. Those wounded are not severely injured.— There was a great deal of anxiety prevailing relative to this matter anterior to the receipt of the true account, for the first rumor was that the p&ssengeh train hadbeemrun into.

The Central American Treaty. Washington, March'l4.—The amendments to the Dallas Clareaeon treaty, are, in addi tion to numerous TOrtml amendments, intro duced; in render themeaning of certain passa ges mure, clear. The first amendment, moved by Mr. Seward, asserts that the sovereignty of the Bay Islands is vested exclusively in Honduras. Tbe second, moved by Mr. Rusk, declares th&t the sovereignty of the Mosquito coast belongs to Nicaragua, the Indians having n.poseessary right to it only as onr Indiana here have a right to their lands. The third, by Jeff. Davis, that this country does not in any way guarantee any grants of lands made to any. parties by the .Mosquito Indians. This is to prevent English colonists from settling there. - The Sandwich Islands treaty was killed for the present by Senator Benjamin, on account ot its anticipated effect upon the eager inter ests of the country. For the Intelligencer. To the Memory of Wahlon Klnaey. Art not thon gone unto tbat bourne. Ne’er to return again; Whilst in distress I here do mourn, Till grief my'heart doth pain. Like as the sparks, my hopes do fiy, And all my joys depart— Save that one spark which cannot die, Thy mem’ry In my heart. Although no more I see thy face, No more thy voice I ffear, 1 I’ll strew with flowers tby resting place, And shed for thee a tear. Though in the shades at New West Grove, The clods have hidden thee. Those very clods for thee I love, They still seem dear to me. Across my path no more thine eye Doth beam with friendship bright, Which once did glow in sympathy, So precious to my sight. Yet that kind voice, of which I sing, Which was to mo so dear, Doth still around my spirit cling, My aching heart to cheer. Thy likeness fills my ev’ry thought, Id silent midnight hours, And sheds fresh hope around my heart, My soul with joy inspires ; As ere I’d known the cares of earth, ’ When tears could bring relief, • As when my songs wore all of mirth, And wore not ting’d with grief. Thy image in my dreams at night, (As in past days of thine,) I do behold in living light, With features all divine. I awake, in sorrow keen, I bear Ihy cheerful tone, But soon I find those hours are gone, No more forever to return. Thy sacred form mine eyes doth greet, And as long years do roll, Those visions bright auto my sight Still binds thee to my soul; Whilst recollections of the past, So truly dear to mo. Shall cherish’d be until tbe last, In all my dreams of thee. Frightful Railroad Accident—A Train Plunged Into the River—Sixty or Eigh ty Persona Killed. Toronto, March 12.— The train which left this city this afternoon.for Hamilton, ran off the bridge above Hamilton, precipitatiing the engine, baggage car and two passenger cats into the water. The locomotive and baggage car passed over the bridge in safety, but the two rear cars, containing 120 passengers, fell through. Between sixty and eighty persons are supposed to have been killed on the spot. Among the killed are: ’ - Samuel Zimmerman, the- well known ban ker and contractor. He was a native of Pena*, syfvania. Mr. Street, a millionaire, of Niagara Falls, together with his sister and mother-indaw.' Thomas C. Mackin Is also reported as killed. The passengers who escaped;death are all more or less mangled, and most are injured beyond all hopes of reecovery. The doctors are leaving Toronto and Hamilton to render services te the wounded. The bridge is partially broken down, and the cars falling one on top of the other a dis tance of forty feet. The excitement caused by this terrible catastrophe is. beyond precedent. The Parliament adjourned immediately on learning the tidings. Nothing that has here tofore occurred in this vicinity has created such profound grief. £S*We would call the attention of our readers to the card of Messrs Tyndale AMitchell, No. 219 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, who offer very great advantages to persons visiting the city in want of Fine or Staple China, Glass, and Common Ware , which they will sell in large or small quantities, to suit the wants of families, at greatly reduced prices.

This fireparation,: although less than two years before the pub ic, owing to! its wonderful affects upon the human hairand scalp, has already obtained a celebrity and sale perfectly unparallelled. It has without the ordinary appliance used for such purposes, won its way, and been heartily welcom ed to most of the cities and towns in the United States the Canadas, and the West India Islands. Nor is this result surprising, when it is remembered that its popularity is based upon its merits, solely as established by actual tests. That this preparation will actually RESTORE GRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL COLOR, produce a luxuriant growth upon the beads of the bald, prevent the hair from falling off, and when used as a toilet article, produce a continual flow of the natural fluids, and thus render the hair soft, glossy and wavy, destroy diseases of the scalp, and expel dandruff, the certificates of distinguished gentlemen and ladies, in every partof the country who hsve tried it, and therefore speak what they know, most fully attest. Milford, Worcester Co., Mass., Nov. 13th, 1855. Prof. 0. J. Wood—Dear Sir; I take pleasure in bearing voluntary testimony to the magic effects of your wonderful Hair Restorative. -As far back as 1836 my hair commenced falling off, until the top of my scalp became bald and smooth as glass, and it has continued to fell for a great many years, notwithstanding I have used many celebrated preparations for its restoration. Seeing your advertisement, I was in duced to give your article a trial, and to my utter astonish ment, I found after a few applications that my hair became firmly set and assumed a very glossy and beautiful appear ance: and, by the time I had used a quart bottle full, my bald head was covered over with a young and vigrrous growth of hair, which is now from one to two inches in leugth, and growing very fast. Yours truly, Henry Goodrich. From the Boston Herald. Something Worth Knowing! —By using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray Hair can be permanently restored to tsoriglnal color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson A Stone, Gardener, Me., and is but one of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no longer problematic, but a self-evident truth, as hundreds can testify. Gardiner, Me., Jnne 22d, 1855. Mr. n. Dyes —Dear Sir: I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s nair Restorative, and can truly say it is the great est discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Hair. Before using it I was a man of seventy. My hair has now attained its original color. You can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind. Yours, respectfully. DANIEL N MURPHY. Carlyle, 111., June 27 I have need Prof. 0. J. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming os I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his Restora tive it has resumed its original color, and I have no doubt permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, ’ Ex-Senator United States. OLD GUABD. The Greatest Discovery of the Age.—lt seldom occurs, that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restorativet, or anything of the kind, for we have a preju dice against meat of them. But candor compels ns to in vite attention to the advertisement of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative. We are too juvenile to require anything of the kind, but some instances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost assure us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematurely gray. It is not a “ Hair Dye;” but upon its application as directed, the effect is produced on the skin, which brings out the origin nal native colored hair, without stiffness, and gives it a glos syand natural appearance. We have seen* persons who have used it, and they are much pleased with it.— Missouri Re publican. » O. J. Wood A Co., 316 Broadway, New York, and 114 Market St Louis, Mo., Proprietors. ' x. W.

BUFFER WOT, WHEN A PERMANENT cure is guarauteed In all stages of SECRET DISEASES, Self-abuse, Nervous Debility, Strictures, Gleets, Gravel, Mercurial Rheumatism. Scrofula, Pains in the Ankles and BoneSr-DiseMKee of the Throat. Nose and Eyes, Ulcers upon the Body, Female Irregularities, and all improper dis charges, no matter of how long standing, or obstinato the case, recovery is certain. aDd in a shorter time than a per manent cure could be effected by any other treatment, even after the fkill of the most eminent physicians had failed, and the disease resisted all other means of cure. The rem edies are free from odor, cansing neither sickness nor in convenience, and without mercury or balsam. During twenty years’ practice, I have restored to health over sev enteen thousand.patients, who were suffering under the worst forms of all the above mentioned diseases, which guarantees me in promising a perfect and most speedy cure. Secret diseases are the greatest enemies to health and happiness, as they are the first cause of consumption, scrofula, Ac., and should be a terror to all nations on earth; for the disease is becoming so common, and treatment so little understood, that a permanent cure is sr.vrcely ever effected, as a majority of the cases fall into the hands of Incompetent persons, who not only foil to cure the malady, but ruin the constitution with corrosivo sublimate—a dangerous poison, a preparation of mercury—which, with the remains of disease in the system, produces maoyofthe above named affections, which finally terminate in con, sumption, aud frequently a rapid one; but should it not cause death speedily, and the victim to disease marries, the disease is then conveyed from the parent to the children, causing them to come Into the world with scrofula, affec lions of the skin, eyes, throat, Ac., and again terminates in consumption, and consigns its victim to an untimely grave, between the ages of six months and thirty-five years.— Self-abuse is another formidable enemy to health; it de stroys the nervous system, rapidly wasting away the ener gies of life, causing' mental derangement, preventing a proper development of the system, and disqualifying its victim for marriage, society, business, and all earthly hap piness.

To be able to state confidently that Consumption is curable by inhalation, Is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much under the control of medical treatment as any other formidable disease; ninety out of every hundred cases can be cured iu the first stages, and fifty-per cent, in the second; but 1q the third 6tage it Is Impossible to 6&ve more than five per cent., for the lungs are so cut up by the disease as to bid defiance to medical skill. Even, however, iii the last stages, inhalation affords extraordinary relief to the suffering attending this fearful scourge which annu ally destroys ninety-five thousand persons in the United States alone; and a correct calculation shows that of the present population of the earth, eighty millions are des lined to till the Consumptive’s grave. Truly the quiver of death has no arrow* so fatal as Con sumption. In all ages it has been the great enemy of lilo, for it spares neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the graceful, aud the gifted. By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom comefh every good and perfect gift, I am enabled to offer to the afflicted a per manent and speedy cure iu Consumption. - The first cause of tubercles is from impure blood, and the Immediate effect, produced by their deposition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of air into the aircclis, which causes a weak ened vitality through the entire system. Then surely it is more rational to expect greater good from medicines enter Ing the cavities of the lungs than from those administered through the stomach; the patient will always find the lungs free and the breathing easy after InhaliDg remedies. True, inhalation Is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally,and with more power and certainty than remedies administered by the stomach. To prove the pow erful and direct influence of this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility In a few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous system, so that a limb may be amputated without the slightest pain ; in haling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life iu a few hours. Tbo inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when fainting or apparently dead. The odor of many of the medicines is perceptible In the skin a few minutes after being inhaled, and may be immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional effects of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always produced by breathing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, should produce the most happy results? During eighteen years’ practice, many thousands, suffering from diseases of the lungs and throat, have been under my care, anrfl have effected many remarkable cures, even after the sufferers had been pronounced in the last stages, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a fatal diaeaso. My treatment of consumption is original, and founded on long experience and a thorough investiga tion. My perfect acquaintance with the nature of tuber-* cles, Ac., enables me to distinguish, readily, the various forms of disease that simulate consumption, aod apply the proper remedies, rarely being mistakeu even iu a single case, This familiarity in connection with certain patho logical and microscopic discoveries, enables mo to relieve the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the chest, purify the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone to the entire system.

Therefore we confidently recommend our Skirts to be the least objectionable now In use; possessing many advantages found in no other Skirt, tho most important of which is out series of elastic Cbrtfa at the bottom, made from the only material that can be used, that will recover Its place when pressed out of shape, will not roll or curl, is not affected by heat or cold, and be washed without injury. These cords at the bottom, in stead of bones, which are exceedingly awkward and Incon venient, with onr own prepared bones above and a fabrio manufactured by ourselves expressly for our goods, in onr estimation and the estimation of thousands who have used them, produces a Skirt and the only Skirt equally adapted to the parlor, the street, and the crowd, giving a proper, graceful and elegant form to a Ladles ’ dress, light, plia ble, easily adjusted and in every respect a complete article. The public are cautioned against all imitations or other goods called Seamless Skirts. Every genuine article Is stamped E. A J.
