Rt•Oulon of the Party. The nomination of Fraykly Pierce seems to have effected a perfect re•nnign of the Democratic part) in the great State of New York. The nominee of the Convention was_ a particular favorite with The New York poli'iMans, and all divisions of the party there are well satisfied. %lie may therefore calcu late with some degree of certainly on carrying that State in November next So also in Mississippi.

Flee In Tunkttannock A destructive fire occurred in the Borough of Turiklzonock, Wyoming County on the 24th ult.— About 12 o'clock on Thursday evening a fire was discovered in a barn in the rear Of Almond Stark's,. and spread with great rapidity on both Tiog,a and Turnpike Streets. The Hotel at the corner of these streets 'was somewhat injured. On Tinge street the store of Samuel Stark, the grocery and dwelling of A. Stark, the ilvvelling and law alive of W. M att,a watch-maker shop and the North Branch Ca nal Engineers office were all destroyed. A large barn belonging to the Hotel, and some dwellings belonging to:Henry Stark on Turnpike Street were all burned. Many other Itil,lings were also saved with difficulty. Messrs. A. Stark, and W. M. Pratt are the heaviest sufferers: All the papers of any imporiancer in the Engineers office were saved The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendia ry .71 RETIAING TILE LAW.9.—On the 4.h of May, last, the LPgi-/ature of this Sure passed a resolution au thorizing the Goverrineto appoint three Commissibn ers, two of whom to be " learned in the • law," to digest and 6117 plify the general tax laws of the State, and to 'prepare drafts of generai laws, to be submit ted to the next Legislature, oo the snt;lct ofselling real estate by Guardians, Execu:ors, Adn inistrators and others acting in an a.lministrative character; on the creation of Corporations; the payment of claims against the Commonwealth, and to divorces, in order to lessen the necessity of special legisla tion. In pursuance of this resolu' ion, we • understand the Governor has selected the Hon. Jas. M. Poe- TER, of Northampton, J. ELLIS BOND of Cumber land, and EDWARD A.

Scott litoorN Tachsuttns.—Under thliead of the Dai Iy Press of Poughkeepsie gives :the remarkable story of the discovery, by two Railroad laborers, sometime since, of many thousand donors in gold, upon the li le of t he Hudson River Rail:arid. Says the Press : " From what we have gatheted, we may a<scit that the two men were digging together, aside from auy other of their vomprpons, late in the a ftern o o n tivhen one of them struek an earthen jrr wiqf his pick'; not thearning of what it con'aincil, he gave another thrust nito the earth, when several pieces ufgold revealed themselves: to his a=tonished his companion also caught sight of them, when a hearty-and rimmul bond of secrecy was exchanged they immediately c..arged their position, after eon. c ealth the coin, mid tit - shot:nutting their woi k .uind nightfall, wheel titer all v as still, they'-opined the earth around and discovered three small earthen j If* fitted with the precious metal. They removed them to this village. The next day one of them re• turned for his wife and wife el the other ;..and in a few days they divided their spoil. With which they lett lor the; Kest; aml are nor wealthy farmers. From what we could gather, there is, no (look that the treasures amounted :o from forty to fifty thoosznd dollars, and it is likely than more remains bitlilen in the very same place, for the men were no oveljored with their success, after they had re• moved their three jars, that they obliterated all tra ces of their work, gathered up the coin vs Inch had seanered from the broken j ir, put it in a sack and earth carrying a whole one, and !eft the place . DUST EXCLeMIID FROM - RAILROAD CARS —Every i body tsho has travelled by Railroad knows how great an annoyance is caused by the dust which contaminates the atmosphere in the cars, ruining not mily the elrelies but the Inngs ol travellers. The Bar ford Times has a long ae.cle in, praise of a new invention, which is intended or retied th e ev il The Times says :—We are glad ti-. -- , able to stare, from our own observation and aduai - ttial of the new invcu ion, that the long sought fur method of excluding dust from railroad cars has at last been attained, and put into practical operairre with very Complete Success. Thus remedy emp,i;s—firsi, Hi a tow ei three large circular venni:oars placed in the top of the car, at an equal distance apart, and flaring open so as to each a great deal of air horn the rapid motion •of the ca - . At the I e . ght of the ventilators there is not much dust, as it does not generally rise so r ld.:h in any considerable quantity, ,but what little enters them is caught and deposited ih a reservoi, partly tilled.widi water arid ingenious ly attached to the brtutom of the ventilator. The ai r thus purified from dust and cinder, rushes into the car Wrought the ventilator, in consequence of the rapid motion This current above would, in ° R IM ary cases, suffice to keep the cars free from dust, by redwing a strong pressure outward, provided the windows were kept closed, since this pressure would always be sufficient to counteract and over power the weaker currents and eddies of air which tend to force the dust inward. But to make tbv ar rangements still more effectual, the, windows of the car have been alien], so that instead of opening perpendicularly. they open sideways like a door.— Each window cm.sists of two par's, shutting togeth er at an obtuse angle, which projects a lew niches Mitward from the CMS de of the car. O n e part of each window is -d r and deflects the pas. sift dust from rite car, 'e the other part is slight ly opened inward, so alto permit a coostant current of air received (tom the' ventilators, to pass out - and repel the external duet. The connivance is arranged throughout on is.genions, simple and phut• osophical principles, and works exceedingly well in practice. Ir 7 IXPORTiTIT DECISION.—A mons the decisions by the Supreme Coon of Pennsylvania sitting at Harrisburg is the following: The declarations of an insolvant husband cannot, under any circum stances - be 'evidence for the.wife as to her owner ship of property. When property is claimed by a married woman, she must show by etllklence which does not admit of a reasonable doubt, either that she owned it at the time of marriage or acquired it afterwards by gift, bequest or purchase. If the hus band could create-title to personal property it. the wife by merely saying it is hers no creditor would be safe for a single moment. It is not easy to con ceive how a higher premium for dishonesty could be offered. The relation of husband and wife is so intimate, and the indentity of their interests so ab solute that even the oath of either is not and ought not to be taken iu favor of the other. A multi fur the naked declaration should be rejected.

Henry Clay died at Washington, on Tuesday, the 29th of June at 17 minutes past 11 o'clock, A. M., in the 76th year I his age, having been born on the 12th of April 1777. In announcing this sail event, the Pennsvivanim truly and appro priately remarks that •' his death has surprised no one ; his countrymen have been looking for rt for weeks past, and now that he rests from his labors, the tale of his demise is -told with sadness to those ho were prepared for the news. It is useless to recount the numerous positions occupied by this eminent man, during his lite-time ; every body knave,- who Henry Clay was; there is Hot a man. woman or child in this broad land, whose lips have not uttered she name of Henry Clay. His history t: his emintry's, and while a page is left on which is r , •• 'i , '4sl the actiens of America's great one.;, his na , :• there will be found. Like . 4ur own im moruJ Jackson, lie was the man to make a' deep impress on the times on which lie lit - ed. Ile differ ed with us in politics , but no more of that—let his faults he buried in the earth which-will soon cover his remains, anti his virtues only be remembered.— Clay hail warm friends and bitter foes ; his friends clung to hint with a love passing strong, while his foes struck him wherever an opportunity offered ; few men were more loved or more hated. But lien ry Clay is dead : those lips which gave utterance to magic sounds, from which words flowed that en tranced thousands by their eloquence, are now in animate and cold ; those eyes that spardled and al most spoke while the orator enchained listening crowd'', are now dint in death." . The New York Evening Post says : " Of all the great political leaders_ in the United States, belonging to his generation, he enjoyed with the exception of General Jackson the high est dt. gree of Rersppal popularity.
