The Lezisleture of - P.ennsyltrania aajonme,l on
Tuesday last, after a session of ninety-eight clays.
Among the more. important measnres to the pen.
ple of linulford,.passed by the Legislature, are the
change in our manner of voting, and the alSpmpria
tirm to the North Branch.
By the proceedings which we publish in full, it
will be seen that an appropriation of $175.00 has
been Made, with a provision that one-half the-sur
plus shall be applicable to the work. This result
was produced after a Conn:nide of confereneve had
failed to agree upon any bill, by the • ailotuicru of a
new bill in the House and its immediate passage
in the Senate. -
The Free Banking Bill was killed in the House,
by ti relusid to consider it, by a vote of 45 yeas r to
51 nays.
The bill providing for the election of Judges, and
changing some - of the irstries in the North, being
vetoed by the Governor on account of gross inaccu
saciesi was'amended and passed. It forms a new
district nut of the counties of Bradford, Susgnehanna

—Our Representatives, 11Iessnt. M'Kess and
Gums have returned to their homes, and we cannot
dhow this occasion to pass without bearing Witness
to the fidelity and ability with which they have dis
ehaiged their duties. Bradford has never been
better represented, nor her in'erests been more care
fully guarded. Punctual hi their attendance upon
the daily sessions of the body, their uniform and
upright conduct gained them an enviable reputation
and influence amongst their fellow members. They
have been emphatically 'working-members, not tir
ing the House with long and:Windy speeches, which
!tonne wouhllisten to, impeding the transaction of
busineis, but have confined - ihemselves to their le
gitimat&duties, that of forwarding the progress 'of
matters of public utility.. By their votes they have
truly represented sound and radical constituen
cy, and that constituency in return say to them ;
'ef Well done thou pied and faithful servants."
Agricultural Journals.
In these days of progress and intelligence, every
new science which has birth, rind almost everi new
idea which is conceived, of public importance,
brings into being some periodical as a channel tor
its disiemtnation to the world. Almost every dif.,
fereit branch el science, of literature, of the arts,
I'lmM:dun:was and commerce, has its journal dove.
ted toils interests, and patronized by its votaries.
A,gricUltare—the most ancient and honored and
useful ot all these callings—has particular need of
the aid which the Press has the power so generally
sad cheaply to (liaise: %The growl progress which

and impravements which have boon made.
The farmer who doe's not avail himaelf of the be.
peals to be derived from the perusal of a good Ag
ricultaml journal, will find himself far behind the
me in his manner of arming. There are at the pre
sent day, a large number' of leaoed and scientific
men, who delight in pursuing th4se investigations
which point out to the tiller of the soil, the best me
thods by which to makAis land productive. And
'if there be truth in the saying that he is a public be
nefactor who causes two blades of grass to grow
where but one was prodnced before, these men are
doing a work for which they should be remember
ed ind honored by theinblio. The result of these va
luable labors, as well as the practical, every-day ex
perience of the bast farmers of the country, can be
procured at a cheap rate,-and 'the farmer veho neg,-
feels to avail himself of the labiws and experience
of the most enlightened of' his Iclais, is sadly neg
lecting his best interests. := • •
While Pennsylvania is celebrated for the fertility
of her soil, and the extent of her productions—while
the beauty of her broad acres : and the industry of her
• farmers are subjec:s of pride,' it is humiliating to
reflect that in all this noble CoMmonwealth, there
is not published a single , exclusively Agricultural
paper, devoted teihe interests of farmers, and wor
thy of• their support. That noble employment;
which is at once the source of our country's gram
ma, and servee,despite of luxury-, to keep bright a
nation's' virtue, is without a single vehicle by which
the intellect may be ministered to, and the spirit of
pisgrese st:teervid. -Despite this shameful truth,
Pennsylvania has been enabled, through the rich.
nets of her natural resources, to keep her position
'newt nobly, in the Union. Who can tell what
strides she might not have taken in Agricultnre,bad
there been `published in her borders, as in her sus
ter.Stste ,liew York ; four or five excellent pe
flailed', devoted to the improvement of the mind
and , the soil I It has perhaps been owingto the dia.
meter of the journals which have hitherto been pre
jeeted, that they were unsuccessful. They have
hardly some up to the requisite standard, and from
that they bare retrograded instead of advancing.
To supply the great• want udder which Pennsyl
vania 'agriculturists now labor, A. M. SPANGLER,
of tic:master, has issued the first number of a new
periodioaicalled the "Farm Journal," di which S.

End of the Fugitive Slave Case.

Slave Case
Alter - the decision of Judge Woodbury Jot night,
that there was hn ground to interfere with the c 0..,
tificate of Mr. Curtis, remanding Sums, prepara
tions'began id be made to convey him brck: The
brig Acorn had been hauled to the and. of fing
Wharf having been previously fitted up for an ex.
tra number of passengers. During the night the
Court Hone 'square was filled with a crowd who
were collected in knots, discussing the matter, and
occasionally hooting at the officers. There were a
.number of females among-them.
The proceedings in and about the Court House,
were closely watched by the Abolitionists. At•
about three o'clock. detachments of the city watch
to the number of 150, armed withclabs and hooks,
were brought into the neighborhood of the Coon
Square. The police force under the command of
Marshal Tuley, armed with short swords, assem
bled in the Square, went through some evolutions,
and finally formed in a hollow square in front of
the side entrance of the Court House.
Mier alt was ie.*, word was given to the U. S.
Marshal, and Sims was bronchi down and placed
in the centre of the Square. Ile appeared to be in
good spirits, his limbs. being free from irons or
handcuffs of any description The procession was
led by the U.S. Marshal and hisideputies, followed
by the armed police, they proceeded through Court
and State Streets, and down Long Wharf, followed
by about 100 Abolitionists, among whom was the
Uev. Mr. Colvisr.
Not the least attempt at violence was made. Mr.
Calvet and cithei persons in the crowd occasionally
denounced the pr ectedings, and called for the then
derbolis of Heaven to be poured down upon them.
lVhen the procession reached - the wharf, the brig
was found to be alt ready, with the steamer Hornet
alongside, with the steatn up Sims was taken int.'
mcd lately into the cabin. The Acorn had twc. can
non on board to protect her from any assault on the
passage. The•word was given to let go the fasten
ing: and she was soon underway.
About : 3o police officers acedmpanied the vessel
as far as the steamer went, as a protection; Several
officers of this city inclucing U. S. Deputy Mar
shots Savin and Byrne, accomputied the fugitive
in the vessel to Savannah. But as the vessel : was
atiout to leave the wharf, some of the crowd sang
several hynys. ;•1
One man, jest as SIMS was going below, called
out to him to preach libeity to the slave—and as
the brig was departing, the Rev. Mr. Foster. ortho
dox minister of Concord, made the !allowing
prayei:—
" Almighty Pod ! Thou seestAis poor man, one
of thy children, born away by oppressors. Thou
art the' "friend of all Who suffer wrong,—and we
have now. no hope, but in Thee; that hope is still
unshaken; Thy promises embus:, forever, anti now
we beseech Thee to show Thy power and love in
blessing this dear brother, who is carried into the
land of whips and chains—oh, God, make him a
missionary of power to awaken a love of justice
and liberty that shall end in the speedy overthrow
of the accursed system which now causes millions
of bleeding hearts. In mercy, Heavenly Father, do
Thou destroy the wicked power which rues us—
give us righteous men to administer just laws, for
give the wiekednesi of our rulers' and lead them to
woe and lasting . repentance—pity the wretched man
ho n w g oes into fetters over the waves—pity and
h is b rethren in chains,—Ksten the day when
all men shall be tree, and thine shall be the glory.
Amen. .
It was just five when we left; the Abolitionist
Vigilance Comminte met at f,3, and passed a reso
lution respectfully asking the people of bhasachn
setts to toll the bells in the several towns, as the in
telligence reached them of the return of the fugi
are slave from the Commonwealth. They have also
appointed a meeting for public and religions servi
ces on the occasion. A . persou with rather loud
lungs, as Th e procession passed down State street,
recited tho events of the. Boston massacre that oc
curred in that street before the revolution.
The fugitive was warmly and comfortably clad
in garments provided by the U. S. Marshal. lie
stated that he was willing to go daring the even.
ing,—he refused to sign any , more papers ilmwn.np
'by the Abolitionists, saying that he was tired of the
business.
The military, in considerable numbers, were at
their armories, and Fanueil Hall, but there was,_no
causal* call Upon.jhem to act in the matter,"Mul
this rimming they were dismissed from further duty.
The chains have been taken down dram Abe Court
House, and it has resumed its usual aspect. Din.
ing the night, Abbey•Folsum was !amid lying in
the street, near the Teipple, and refusing to go
hcime, was , taken to the watch house.

"A deed should always be recorded; but a deed
tiot recorded is still valid, provided the same pro:

it occasions to ohtaii"nother title, which, if the
deed had been recorded, could have all been sa- -

for a , copy at the Recorder's office. Another
great reason why deeds should be recorded, is, that
persons often pretend to hold property, for-which
they bold no title, and defraud holiest persons by
giving judgment. It has happened' heretofore. that
persons held litles.for properties, anti the strength
thereof obtained money, for which Mortgages and
judgments were given, the bottlers of which ; thought
themselves perfectly safe; yet upon a thorough in
vestigation, no title could be stoned, and the per
sons who had advanced the money wete detrautled
out of the same. Had the title been recorded, this
could not have happened. All bond titles should,
by all means be, recorded; it secures the purcha--

Naw AND DANGEROUS colL7NTEarlCfr.—An °dna
rably execnted counterfeit bilrof the denomination
of five dollars on the Bank of Middletown—a re.
issue of the Belief notes—has just made its appea
rance, and unless great care is observed, will be
widely circulated. The general appearance of the
bill, when compared with the gentrme note of the
bank, would probably detect its spurious character.
The signatineamt the figures et:unpitteing the num.

the getniine. The faint lining in the'medalion head
on the right end of the bill is up and down "theface,
while on the counterfeit it is nearly across the face.
More certain marks of detection, however, with
those who may not have a genuine bill at hand . to
compare with, may be
,found in the word " five"
in the bottom lining of the bill. In the genuine it
