The above report shows a larger figure paid for Missouri Tobacco than ever realized, either here or elsewhere in this country, for any package of similar weight.

The health of the city continues fair. The funeral obsequies of Mr. Joseph Charless, who was murdered in our city last week, took place on MondayJast It was the largest fnneral since the burial of Col. BentoD. Thornton, tbo murderer, is still securely bound down in his cell. His trial will probably came up £t the July term. Thero Is scarcely a probability of his escaping the halter, which he so richly merits. Mrs. Chrlßtina Foster, wife of Robt. It. Foster, died in this city on the oth Inst. Williamsport (Pa.) papers will please notice. We have conversed with several gentlemen who have just returned from Pike’s Peak, and they unite in the most gloomy aspects of affairs thero. They say we will Dever know how many men have perished oa the plaios from starvation, and that the greatest suffering is daily experi. enced by the emigrants. It is said that the earth will probably yield $lOO to the acre, and that It will cost fully $5OO per acre to obtain it! As to the agricultural prospects of that country, they entertain a very poor opinion—it is decidedly the worst for such purposes that they have ever seen. All that can be grown there, is what is called the wire-graBß,and which is so tough that a mulo must make three bites at It, before he can pull it apart! There is a state of affairs existing there, and the worst is proba bly not known. Pike’s Peakors are still returning in greaf numbers, and some venturing out, not satisfied until they see for them selves. The reports received by express at Loaveuworth, so encouraging, are not believed here by those who have re turned. ' The election in Kansas for Delegates to the Constitu tional Convention came off last week, but not enough is known to decide which party have the control of the Con vention. The following couuties have b c oo beard from : Leavenworth 450 Dem. majority ; Lawrence, 400 Republican majority. Douglas elected seven Republican delegates. Bourbon, one Republican, and one Democrat. Sikios, one Republican, one Democrat. Atchison, sunll Republican majority. Riley, Republican majority. Johnson and Wyuudott. small Democratic majorities. Another letter received in this city from Mr. John Wise, states that bo will be here next week, and that Messrs. Gager and La Mountaine will oceompany him; so you must soon be on the look-out for tho jcrinl ship.

[From tho N. Y. Ilorald.] Naturalized Americans lu Europe. Washington, June 15. The following important letter was to day communicated to A. V. Hofer, of Cincinnati, by Secretary Cass. It needs no comment: Department of State, : ) Washington, June 14, 1859. j Sir: In answer to your letter of the Gth inst., I have to inform you that the brief letter from this Department, to which you refer, dated the 17th of May last, and addressed to Mr. Felix Leclerc, was in reply to an applica tion for information, and was principally intended to recommend caution to our natur alized fellow-citizens, natives of France, in returning to that country, as the operations of the French conscription law were not precisely known hero, and might boar injuri ously upon that class of American citizens.— Most of the Continental European nations have a syßtem of military organization by which their citizens are compelled to serve in the army by conscription, as in France, where the duty is designated by lot, or by draft, as in Prussia, where every person is required to take his turn as a soldier. The condition of American naturalized citizens returning to their native country where the system of compulsory service pre vails, and who had left before performing such service, has frequently been the subject of discussion with some of the European Powers. Quite recently it has arisen between the United States and Prussia, and the representa tive of this country at the Court of Berlin has brought the matter to the attention of the Prussian government. In the instructions which were sent to him, dated May 12, 1859, it was explicitly stated that this government is opposed to the doctrine of perpetual allegi ance, and maintains the right of expatriation and the right to form new political ties else where. Upon this subject it is observed, that in this age of the world the idea of controlling the citizen in the choice of a home and binding him by a mere political theory to inhabit for his lifetime a oountry which he desires to leave, can hardly be entertained by any government whatever. The position of the United States as com municated to the Minister at Berlin for the information of the Prussian government, is that native born Prussians naturalized in the United States and returning to the country of their birth, are not liable to any duties or penalties, except such as were existing at the period of their emigration. If at that time they were in the army or actually called into it, such emigration and naturalization do not exempt them from thelegal penalty which they incurred by their desertion, but this penalty may be enforced against them whenever they shall voluntarily place themselves within the local jurisdiction of their native country and shall proceeded against according to law.— But when no present liabilities exist against them at the period of their emigration, the law of nations, in the opinion of this govern ment, gives no.'right to any country to interfere with naturalized American citizens, and the attempt to do so would be considered an act unjust in itself and unfriendly towards the United States. This question cannot, of course, arise in the case of a naturalized citizen who remains in the United States. It is only when he voluntarily returns to his native country that its local laws can be enforced against him. I am, sir, your obedient servant, LEWIS CASS. Forgot his Own Name. —A resident ofCol lubia township, who returns a considerable Bum upon the tax duplicate, recently forgot his own name ! He was looking for a letter, and called almost daily at the Post Office, and inquired for a certain name. The Postmaster several times informed him that he had a let ter with the superscription of his own name, except that there was a middle name , spelled in full. The applicant declined to receive the epistle, as it must be for some one else, but said he didn't know any such man in the town. One day, after a month had passed, he told hig wife, there was such a letter, and wondered who it could be for, and why the the owner never called for it! After a good laugh at her liege, she convinced him that the name on the letter was his own ! He had for gotten his middle cognomen, but ventured to claim the letter, and found that it was the very document that he had been looking for so long! —Cincinnati Commercial. •California Wines.— The San Francisco Herald states that the present stock of Cali fornia vines now under cultivation will yield $50,000,000 of wines and brandies in twenty years from the present day. The wine pro duct of the Golden State increases at the rate of 50 per cent annually, and the quality of these is equal to the best imported. In all wine growing countries, where the people use wine at their tables and where a bottle of it can be ■obtained for three or four cents, drunkenness and bar-rooms are unknown. X&* The Emperor of Russia haß presented to Mrs.. Hudson a diamond brooch, valued at $5OOO, in acknowledgement of the courtesies extended by Captain Hndßon when in com znapd of the Niagara to some Russian officers while he was engaged in laying the Atlantio cable; BEORBTART OF THE ■ NAVY. We make the following extraot from an able letter, bearing date Washington,. May 31, whioh we find in the Daily Star, of New London, Conn. It contains facts which will prove interesting to all who love the truth:— “ This, too, is the class of correspondents who have said so many absurd things and made so many unprincipled charges against the Secretary of the Navy and the Paraguay expedition; and, among ethers, endeavored to convey the impression that the Secretary, through motives of self-interest, had shipped and concentrated a very large surplus of coal in Paraguay, which the necessity of the service did not require ; when the fact is, that the Government wants more coal than the surplus which is left there for the use of our steamers and naval vessels which continually stop or oruise upon that coast. Moreover, it should be considered that it is solely from a fortuitous circumstance in the immediate termination of the commission sent by the present Administration to Paraguay that any coal was left iu that locality for future use, for any rational person will at once see and understand that had the Paraguay squadron remained a month longer, still further supplies of coal would have had to be provided and sent forward. Another ridiculous assertion of these Black Republican correspondents seems to have been caught up with remarkable avidity by the journals who can Bee nothing but evil, and that continually, in everything done by a Democratic administration. It was stated in connection with the same subject, that through some complicity between Gov. Toucey and the agent of the Cromwell line of steamers which were chartered for the Paraguay service, an undue amount of money was to be paid for the charter or purchase, when the facts are, the said Cromwell Company want to get the steamers back again 4nto their own hands, and are willing to pay the government a bonus if it will give them up. This certainly does i not look as if the Cromwell Company were ; getting paid too high a price for these steamers, : or that the Secretary of the Navy lacked I shrewdness in making the bargain for them. | Thus one by one these absurdities are scattered ; to the winds, and the Black Republican agita i tors left high and dry upon the wreck of their 1 own folly. | But this is only a part of the system of 1 tactics of the Black Republican press at the j North, and in referring to it now we do not ! think it at all necessary as a defence of the administration or of the Secretary of the Navy, but we were led into the remarks we ' have made from circumstantial happenings; and we challenge comparison of Mr. Buchan i an's administration with any that has preceded ! it, for clearness of judgment, weight of talent, [ or frugality of expenditures in the manage [ ment of government.” A Horrible Confession—The Case of Cannibalism on the Plains.— "We have published the particulars of a case of can nibalism on the Plains, among a company of Pike's Peak emigrants. Daniel Blue, one of the survivors of the party, has arrived at Denver City, Kansas, and has furnished a complete account of the affair. Blue went from Clyde, 111., to Pike's Peak, with his brothers. He writes the horrible confession: “ After a short effort to continue our jour ney, we were again compelled to lay up, and the next day Soleg died from exhaustion and want of food. Before he breathed his last, he authorized and requested us to make use of his mortal remains in the way of nourishment. We, from necessity, did so, although it went very hard againstour feelings, lived and onhis body-for about eight days. We then I afterwards learned, on Beaver Creek, wfleh empties into the Bijou, one of the tributaries of the South Platte, and about 75 miles east of Denver City. After the<consumption ofSoleg's body, Al exander, my eldest brother, died, and at his own last request, we used a portion of his body as food on the spot, and with the balance re sumfrd our journey, towards the gold regions Wo succeeded in traveling but ten miles, when my youngest brother, Charles, gave out, we were obliged to stop. For ten days wo subsisted on what remained of our brother's body, when Charles expired from the same cause as the others. I also consumed the greater portion of his remains, when I was found by an Aparahoe Indian, and treated with great kindness, and a day and a half thereafter (this is on Wednesday, the 4th of May), brought to tho encampment of the Leavenworth and Pike's Peak Express Com pany's train. OLD GUARD. A Frog in the Stomach Three Years#— A son of Mr. Charles Davis residing in Gould's Court, leading to Montgomery, near Light says the Baltimore Sun on Friday last, has caused the family great uneasiness for three years past in consequence of his being subject at times, for hours together, to spasms and terrible fits. Physicians were consulted, but all their investigations failed to reveal the cause that produced the malady. Yester day afternoon, about three o'clock, when entering the house, the lad was seized with the symptoms of his malady, and in a fit of retching, threw up upon the floor a living frog, about two inches in length. The frog hopped gaily about the floor until secured by the family. His name is William Davis, and he is about ten years of age. He has no recol lection of the time the frog was taken into his stomach, but his father thinks it was swallowed with his drink about three years ago, when he was afflicted with fits. Farming in the^NVest—Scarcity of Food. —A writer says, the country was never so bare of food for man and beast. Flour is higher, and wheat and corn scarcely lower than in New York or Liverpool. Oats are nearly the same. Thousands of cattle through the prairie States have died this spring. Minnesota is buying flour in Chicago by the thousand barrels. In Illinois, lowa and Missouri whole neighborhoods are destitute of bread, and of the means to purchase it. At Quincy, however, 268 miles from Chicago, the iarmereare resolved to look starvation in the face, and are busy putting in all sorts of grainr In Illinois and lowa they are doing their utmost to grow more grain than ever. They are, however, out of money, out of credit, and in debt, and hardly able to keep the sheriff from the door. Despite the hard times Illinois is growing. New blocks are being erected in her cities, and new buildings in the villages. Cultivation is generally extended—a great deal of work being done by oxen. The State iB rich in coal—far more so than any other State, but she lacks timber, which is obtained ohiefly from Michigan and Wisconsin. The Frost and the Crops. —Efforts are made by certain interested parties to pfoduce a wheat and flour panic, by the inculcation of false and greatly exaggerated reports of disastrous effects from the late June frosts.— There is no cause, however, for any serious alarm. It is true that in some sections the blighting influence of the frost was felt, but anything like a calamity in this way has not befallen the country. The prospect is that the wheat, grain, and corn crops, will be more than usually abundant, so that we shall be able to fill the vacuum in Europe, caused by the withdrawal of a million or more of men from purely agricultural employment. The crops in Europe, too, will not be much shortened this year, as a harvest has been prepared, and should the wheat of Northern Europe be abundant, no great advance in prices can be rationally expected during the coming year. What another year will bring about will depend upon the vigor and extent of the war in Europe. The crops in this county were by no means extensively touched by the frost. In the Western part of this State there were some injuries inflicted, and so there were in some of the Central and Western States. Detailed accounts, however, represent that the crops will not be affected by the frost, which seems to have traveled in a kind of narrow path that was belted on either side by temperate air. Those who purchase flour and wheat, or hold it back for high panic rates, will probably have ample cause to regret the step before October next ßeading Journal. Sentence of a Mail Robber. —Levi £ong, the late postmaster at Pleasant Union, Somer set county, Pa., convicted at Pittsburg of stealing a letter from the. mails, has been sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years. Mr. Long, previous to the commission of the crime of which he was convicted, Btood very high in the community in which he lived, and it is said it was with much difficulty his neighbors could persuade him to accept the office of postmaster# for which they thought him peculiarly qualified. The Great Breach of Promise Case at St. Louis. —One of the jurors at St. Loois who rendered the verdict of $lOO,OOO damages for the breach of promise of marriage, baa made an affidavit before a magistrate, to the effect that before being empanneled on the jury he statedv'that he did not understand English sufficiently to try the matter; be never agreed to the verdiot giving the plaintiff $lOO,OOO, but thought that the majority ruled, and consequently did not object; and that be now believes that the verdict was unjust and the damages excessive. Another member of the jury publishes a card stating that he regrets be assented to the verdict, and still another is out defending the verdict as alto gether right and proper. Letters from South America state that a most fearful storm swept the southern coast of Brazil on the 13 th of April. It is repre sented to have been terrible in the extreme.— The whole coast, from Bahia southward, is lined with wrecks. The damage is enormous. The loss of life is frightful. A Brasilian frig ate went down with over 400 souls on board; only forty were saved.

How many suffer with it and its attendant symp toms of low spirits, bad lasts, coated tongue, obstupified head, and attacks of headache ! Yet how few know how to cure it!

SUFFERING HUMANITY READ THIS The undersigned takes this method of informing the public generally that there is no medicine now offered to the public that is equal to DUVALL’S GALVANIC OIL in relieving suffering humanity. I was an observer of its effects in a friend of mine, who suffered almost everything from a neuralgic affection which resisted the best medical treatment in Centre county. We applied freely the Galvanic Oil to the painful part, and gave some inwardly, and in 20 minutes the patient was asleep, and when awakened was free from pain, and con tinued so. This is a positive fact which I am willing to make good at any time. A case of Felon was cured in nearly the same length of time. J. 11. HANN, Centre Hill, Centre county, Pa.

A Mr. S., a man the “ boys ” Have emptied many a cup to, Was up to 6omethiog—S. for snuff, And that’s what he was up to. He was'resolved that he would wed A girl with piles of money, For in the moon of love, he said. There is no sweeter honey. A friend had named a maiden fair, Who filled the right position, As 6he an uncle had, with wealth To meet his heart’s ambition. The girl in all his means possessed An int’rest undivided— With many cautions from his friend, This secret was confided. Such news as this, with all his hopes, Fonnd intimate communion— The wealth was houses, stores and land, All o’er the blessed Union. He won the girl, and fonnd, alas! That she would wear the breeches; But to himself he slyly laughed While thinking of her riches. He waited calmly for a month, With thoughts of wealth and station, And then about his wife’s estate, He sought for information. He hap’d to meet, by lucky chance His friend, so well intention’d, Who had, with facts about her wealth, His lady to him mentioned. “ Come, Bob!” said he, “ and take a drink, And then, with no digressions, Please name the uncle of my wife, And some of his possessions!” “Friend 8.,” said Bob, “you shall be kept No longer on probation— Her uncle is oar Uncle Sam, The head of all the Nation! “ He owns a very large estate— That secret I confided— In which your wife, Rosantha, has An int’rest undivided!” 8. puckered up his mouth to speak, Alas! he could but whistle— He writhed about as if he sat Upon a thorn or thistle. But gaining breath to speak, he said, “ Oh! what’s the use of sighing ! The proverb says, ‘ for milk that’s spilt There is no use a-crying.’ “ I have been 60ld, and cheap the price, But vain will be repining— The poet says, ‘to ev’ry cloud There is a silver lining.’ “Then, as Rosantha is my wife, ADd has, alas! no riches; But has outvowed her bridal vows, With vows to wear the breeches. “ The cload on manhood’s sky will have A silver lining when it Is bright with thoughts, that wifey wears The breeches bought of Bennett.” Estate of Joseph fiskebtoH) DECT).—Letters Testamentary on the estate of Joseph Pinkerton, lato of East Donegal towushlp, dec'd, having been granted to the rabecrlbera residing in East Donegal township; All persons Indebted to eal-i estate are request* ed to make immediate payment, and thoee having claims will present them, without delay, properly authenticated for settlement.

Dr. Leavitt, Editor of H. Y. Independent “I am delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has been in my family for many months. It has always been ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and is easily adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply changing the spools of thread.”— Mrs. Elisabeth Strickland, wife of Ren: Dr. Strickland, Editor Hew Fork Christian Advocate. “After trying several differentgood machines, I preferred yours, on account of Its simplicity, and the perfect ease with which it is managed, as well as the strength and du rability of the seam. After long experience, I feel compe tent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recommend it for every variety of family sewing.”— Mrs. E. B. Spooner, wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star. “I have used a Grover A Baker Sewing Machine for two years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of family sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth, g Garments have been worn out without the giving way of a stitch. The Machine is easily kept in order, and easily used.”— Mrs. A. B. Whip • pie, wife of Rev. Geo.

He wonld denounce midnight shirt-making as ‘the direful spring of woes unnumbered.’”— Prof, north. “I take pleasure iu sayiQg that the Grover A Baker Sew ing Machines have more than sustained my expectation.— After trying and returning others, I have three of them In operation in my different places, and, after four years’ trial, have no fault to find.”— J.

WILLIAM DARLING. BECBETART AND TREASURER. JAMES WRIGHT. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may burst out m disease on any part of it. No organ is free' from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously f caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. ’What* ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con stitution, descending 11 from parents to children unto the third and fourth generation;” indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, “ I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children.” Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, whiob, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in tile glands; swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofhlouß ‘com plaints, but they have far less power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vast numbers perish bv disorders which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system we must renovate the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER’S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remedials that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should be employed for the cure of not only scrofula, but also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as Eruptive 1 and Skin Diseases, Sr. Anthony's Firs, Rose, or Erysipelas, Pimples, Pubtulbs, Blotches, Blains and Boils, Tumors, Tetter and. Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Rheumatism, Syphilitic and Mbrourial Dis eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Debility, and, ihdeed, all Complaints arising from Vitia ted or Impure Blood. The popular belief in ‘ ‘ impurity of the blood " is founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer’s Cathartic Fills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYSIO, are so composed that disease within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive ness, Heartburn, Headache arisingfrom, disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Bowels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice , and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, FOR THE RAPID CURE OP Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump tion, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidoteto employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on tne afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too'numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
