ed by J. G. Boyd and T. Deer. as Cashier and Presi
dent of the Towanda Bank, which aro alleged by the
Commonwealth to be fraudulent and void. The act of
1841, commonly called the Relief Law was read io the
jury.' Documents to show that the Towanda Bank,ec
" ceps] of its provisions, and issued notes under it. were
also read. The defendant's counsel then proved that
notes tendered by . his client to the County Treasurer
were from the genuine plate, and also that a debt due to
the Idandfacturers and Meehaniod Bank, of this city. by
the Towanda Bank, had been paid in those mites, from
ill of which the inference was to be drawn, that they
were E( genuine issue. On their being! offered in esi.

they had not been sufficiently proved, that the were not
shown to be money, which was necessary, ii i pole. to
make them receivable for taxes, and if, under the act,
the State was obliged to receive the genuine Relief

The Auditor General and State Treasurer have brought
nearly 200 'suite against defaulters and their turnips, in
the Dauphin County Common Pleas, as they were au
thorized to do by an act passed at the last session of the
Legislature. The number is large, but there are more
yet to be brought, which will be done in due time.--
Thews officers deserve great credit in this matter, it being
a way laborious undertaking, but one that will bring a
large amount of money into the treasury of the State.
Col. Snowden says that he will be abundantly able to I
meet the interest that shall fall duo ou the Ist of rebut-
a ry i which is truly gratifying.

Mysterious Discovery.
We learri from the Carbon county Gazette,
thai great excitement prevails in that Village,
in consequence of the recent discovery of a ho-
Man skeleton, buried under a pile of atones,
about two miles from the river up. the Bear
Creek Valley. A large pilestif stones, brought
near the vision of man by the improvements
of the Lehigh, was observed in a condition
supposed not to be natural. Several citizens
recently made an examination, an,: had not re
moved many of the stones before they drew
forth human bones, Pieces of cloth, and bind
ing trimmings.
The Gazette explains the mystery, by re
citing the circumstance of the sudden disap
pearance, in 1829 or 30, of a Philadelphian,
named SELIGSON. between Matich Chunk and
Wilkesbarre. He was a traveling Pedler, and
his brother came twice from the city to meet
him in Mauch Chunk, but without success.—
He tvas last seen at Barber's Hotel, on the
„Broad ht l intain, late one Cold winter night,
with Ina horse. and wagon, wending his way
through the snow fur Mauch Chunk. Suspis
Non. it is said.ested on one Albeiteen, the
keeper of a disreputable tavern, and his son-in
law, Morrison. who were examined at the
tone. One of tvlonn moved West and died,
and the ow resides in New York.
I , up the transaction, the Gazette,
a at this eonclusion. Taking into con.
si on all the circumstances attendant upon
taappearance ollirhe Pedlar, and the can
ton whteli those who murdered him—for there
is no doubt that he was assnesinated—must
have used to remove every evidence of the
crime, in connection with the appearance of
the r, mains. and the situation in which they
were found it leaves little doubt nit the minds
of our citizens, that they are the remains of the
Pedlar. and that whoever were the perpetra
tors of the murder, were men—well acquainted
with the glens and vallies of the Lehigh,—
Who they were, will probably forever remain
a mystery.

The sheriff advanced and read the order for
the execution ; after wlitat'lie remarked, that
if the prisoners wished to - Say anythin Oppor

(the sheriff haVing . unbittind the ;owls from his

frequent, repetitions and correcting his lan
guage, which was sometimes ungrarttatical,and
otherwise incorrect:
[We omit the speeches. John Long eon.
leased that. he was.guilty of killing Col. Da
venport; bill said he wished thoie present to
receive. as the declaration of a dying man. his
assertion that his brother ,Aaron and Graniille
Young, were innocent of that crime. , Hobert
Birch, %V [Main F..x; Theodore- Brown and
himself. he said, kilted Davenport. but did it
unintentionally. : He then.; called upon one
Bonny to step forward, hilt being told Bonny
was not in the crowd, he said it • knocked out
650 pages from his speech." This Bonny he
declared was the. chief among thieves and rob
bers. Aaron Long and 'Granville Young then
severally. prntested, that they. were innocent.—
When they had done. John Lung again made
a speech., detailing some events in his life. and
railed upon all to take warning by his fate.—
Up to 184 b, he had never wronged a mad, but
In that year he was persuaded to engage in
counterfeiting, and from that he was led to the
commission of robbery and murder. A full
_confession of his acts and associates he said
would'implicate two hundred men in Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri and the Territory, but he
withheld the confession from regard to their
families.]
After he had closed, he returned to his seat,
and after-consulting the other prisoners, said it
was their dying request that their bodies be giv
en to their friends, and not to the physicians.
Mr. Gatchell now stepped forward and offered
up a short and appropttate prayer; after which
Mr. Hany read a psalm. The ptisoners now
severally shook hands - with those on the scaf
fold, and with each •other. Aaron Long &
Young were nearly metro , e with emotion—
John quite calm and collected. The sheriff
bound "heir arms, put the rope around their
necks, drew die-caps over their fares, and led
forward upon the drop. Taking hhe axe, he
severed the rope, at one blow, letting them fall
a distance of about four feet.
But now remained a scene most .revolting to
behold, and most horrible to describe. The
middle rope broke, letting Aaron -Long fall, stri-
king his hark Amon the beam.below, and lying

and crying 11111, .• rhe Lord have merry on me,
The Lord have mercy on me !, You are hang
ing an innocent man. And (pointing to his bro
ther) there hangs my poor. pour brother." But
alas ! he heeded him not.
I shall never forget the appearance of that man
as he set upon the bench. u large bloody streak
above his neck. his body trembled all over, while
preparations were making for his final fall. But
there was another act to this drama. As he was
ascending the gallows, signs of an outbreak in
the. crowd were evident.. Smite cried, • that
enough, let him go ;" while others gave ex pr e ,
sion to their horror. Just at this moment stone
cry was raised 'in a remote part of the crowd ;
no one knew what it was; sonic were frighten
ed—one wing of the guard retreatedlowarlls the
gallows—the tumult increased—a sudden panic
seized the immense crowd, and they all fled pre
cipitately from the place.
If the earth under the gallows had opened. and
Pluto himself had atisen from the infernal re
gions with his horses and chariot, ircould not
have caused greater consternation, or niore hasty
flight. The guard . were with much di ffi culty
kept in their places, the crowd returned, and
coon all was quiet ; every one ashamed of him
having been frightened at nothing One
wagon was found Upset. hut it was supposed to
be the effect, slid not the cause of the panic.
The wretched victim of the law was at length
despatched, and the crowd dispersed.
