" Williams !—Mason !—quick 1" I was thrust aside, and two men pressed past me. I saw their entrance, aud I saw no more. A gentle hand was on my arm, and I j was taken kindly from the room. " You ought not to have seen this,'' Dr. ( Kane said. "I am very sorry, Miss King, I ; am very soriy. But there was nothing else we couid do. Yon would not have been safe iu the house with him for another hour."

" Dr. Kane, tell me !—I do not understand !" i It was not Dr. Kane who answered me, but the stranger who had come with him. He had joined us in the hall, and it was he who spoke. ] " You have not heard, perhaps, that Mr. j Hallam was under my charge some years ago. | From the report Dr. Kane brought me this morning, I felt sure that there was no time to be lost iu seeing him. lam only amazed that an outbreak has been delayed so long." I burst into tears. " Is it only that ?" " Only that !" he repeated. " Why, what did you think it was ? What has he been say ing to you ?"

He is in the same i asylum where he was formerly confined, and, ill though he yet remains, they give us some : faint hopes of his ultimate recovery.

Great care Las been taken to select persons to act upon the Judging Committees, who will be most likely to attend to the duty to which they have been chosen. Gentlemen who have been appointed as Judges will please be prompt in their attend ance at the Grand Jury ltoom in the Court House at 2 o'clock P. M., on Thursday the loth ot Oct., the first day of the Fair. La dies who have been chosen Judges, will attend at the same place on the same day at 3 o'clock P. M., at which place and hours the different duties of the Judging Committees will be an nounced. NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS AND COMPETITORS. The attention of the Farmers, Mechanics, aud others of our county is called to the LARGELY INCREASED PREMICMS which are offered in the HORSE, CATTLE, DAIRY, FIELD CROPS, FARM ING and MECHANICAL implements, and many other Departments of the Society's believed that the Premium List of the Socie ty is upon a more liberal scale than that of any other County Society in the State. The Committee ask that there may be a correspon- ding effort on the part of, our Farmers, Me chanics and Producers to make this Exhibi- tion of the Society one that will do honor to the County of Bradford. There is no lack of means in their hands to do this. We have Horses, Cattle, Field and Garden Products, Dairy Products, Fruits, Products of the Shop, Loom, Dwelling House, in great variety, and number, and in quality second to that of no County in the State. Shall we see samples of these products at our Exhibition?—not in a single lone animal ! not in half pecks and half bushels ! Let us have them by the dozens! by the wagon loads ! Let our Fair grounds be filled to overflowing that we may be proud of our County, and proud of the evidence of her industry and improvement to the many strangers who will visit ns upon this occasion. Past experience has led the Committee to adopt more perfect securities for all articles placed on the grounds for exhibition, and also improved facilities and accommodations in the arrangements of the grounds. THE BRIDGE WILL BE PASSABLE ! It affords the Committee no ordinary pleas ure, to be able to announce to the people on the east side of the river, that the enterprising and gentlemanly contractors and builders of the Towanda Bridge. Messrs, HA HTM AN and LAWSHE, have assured them that the Bridge will be passable by the time of the Fair.— Messrs. IIARTMAN and LAWSHE have the Com mittee's warmest thanks for their exertions in this behalf. Persons having animals to exhibit may pass to the grounds free of cost and without danger, under an arrangement with these Gentlemen. Exhibitors and Judges will readily see the importance, in order to avoid mistakes and de lays, of following closely the published rules and regulations of the Society. E. W. HALE, J. C. R IDG WAY, J.

ARE YOU ASSESSED? -Vest Saturday is the last day ; see that your oicn name is upon the list, and then that not a Republican vote is lost. OUR PROSPECTS IN THE STATE. It must be apparent to every one that a certain degree of apathy prevails throughout the State in regard to the pending election, so soon to be determined. There may, however, be a great degree of interest really felt, but it does not display itself in that tumultuous and public manner, which last fall, caused public attention almost ei tirely to be absorbed in the issues involved. The result is to be a great decrease in the vote of the State. Which party is to be most affected by it ? In our judgment, the Buchanan party, for various i reasons, uot the least prominent of which is ! the fact, to which wc have heretofore adverted, j that many of the active men are not only in j different, but would actually rejoice in the re j buke which the defeat of Packer would ad minister to the National Administration.— Last fall, frauds of startling magnitude were perpetrated, and money scattered like water to defeat the Union State Ticket. Neithe r | of which operate to any great extent now.— But what will contribute more than anything else, to lessen the Democratic vote, is the feel ing of an easy victory the leaders have been inspiring their voters with. They have been so extravagant iu their boasts, as to make some of the credulous and less informed really believe that PACKER was certain of having scarcely less than 100,000 majority. This great mistake the leaders have already dis covered, and are endeavoring to counteract, but they have played the game too strong for their own benefit. We have every reason for believing that there is a determination and quiet activity on the part of the friends of Freedom which will only be fully shown at the polls. The hearts of the people are with Mr. WII.MOT and the noulc cause he advocates, as demonstrated by the enthusiasm his presence everywhere cre ates. There is hardly a township in this broad Commonwealth that does not contain at least one man who feels a personal and intense de sire to see Mr. WII.MOT and his principles tri umphant. Such men are not idle, as will be shown after the second Tuesday of October. We would not excite any hopes for the pur pose of having them disappointed, for we know that in this locality our friends would face de feat in defence of their principles with the same alacrity and undaunted bearing, that they would if certain of victory. But if our advi ces are at all reliable, and they are from sour ces entitled to the highest credit, the sun of the Second Tuesday of October sets upon the triumph of DAVID WII.MOT. To bring about this glorious result, much can yet be done in Bradford. The majority for the successful candidate will be small, who ever may win. The Pennsylvanian has drop ped its figures to 10,000 majority for PACKER. A few hundred voters staying at home in Brad, ford may hazard the success of our candidate. There is no Republican in Bradford who would not go ten miles to deposit his ballot, if there by he could secure the success of the State Ticket. We entreat every voter to consider the election as depending upon his own vote, and particularly upon his efforts to sec t/uit every vote is polled. fcg*" A man named Clark, belonging to Spauiding & Roger's circus committed suicide at Uniontown, Pa. AST" PennSjlvania, Ohio and California hold their elections on the second Tuesday of Oc tober next. ONLY ONE VOTE ! We are surprised to meet, now and flien, an individual who professes to feel no interest of any kind iu the approaching election ; a stoic in politics, who cares nothing for any man, or any principle involved in the great struggle that is now agitating the people of this coun try, as they never were agitated before ; a roan who considers his own vote of no consequence, and who flatters himself that the country will take care of itself, in any event. That man is deluded. It is his nrrr to inte rest himself in the great principles that are now at stake, in this struggle between Free dom and Slavery. It will be his DUTY to vote at the approaching election ; when, if he con sult the honor of his race and of his coufitry, he will vote for the REPUBLICAN- candidate, and will induce others to do likewise It is folly for anybody to believe that ONE VOTE is of no consequence. It was by ONE VOTE only, that MARCUS MORTON, after failing many vears, finally succeeded in obtaininfi the election as Governor of the State of Massa chusetts. It was by ONE VOTE ONLY, that Tex as was annexed to the Uuited States, and the Mexican War was provoked—which cacrificed fifty thousand lives, and saddled the country with a debt of one hunndred million dollars. THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. The present pressure iu monetary affairs reached its climax last week, when very unex pectedly, the Bank of Pennsylvania determin ed, after a short run, upon suspending specie payments, and its example was necessarily fol lowed by the other Philadelphia Banks, some of thein holding out for a few days, but finally succumbing to the pressure in justice to them selves and their customers. The suspension is not, however, total, for the Banks, most of them, continue to pay spe cie for tens and fives, and to pay cheeks in their own and the notes of other banks. Tiie announcement of this step produced the greatest astonishment and excitement through out the country. The Banks of llarrisburg, Reading, Lancaster and Pittsburg, upon its receipt, suspended specie payments, though otherwise conducting their business as for merly. In Baltimore, Washington and Wheeling, a similar course has been pursued. Iu New York the suspension of the banks is not expected.— In New Jersey, they continue to pay specie, and the New England banks are said to be in no danger. The Pennsylvania banks generally will un doubtedly follow the example of Philadelphia, aud partially and temporarily suspend. By so doing, most of them forfeit their charters.— Gov. POI. LOCK was in Philadelphia on Monday, and a strong effort was made to persuade him to call an extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of relieving the banks from the penalty of their suspension, and to provide measures for their ultimate resumption. At our latest accounts the Governor had not con cluded to call an extra Session. We trust he will not put the Commonwealth to that ex pense. for the purpose of transacting business which will not suffer from postponement until the usual time for the meeting of the Legisla ture. lii regard to the bills of the Philadelphia and State banks, we hardly know how to ad vise our readers. The brokers themselves are as yet unable to Ox any rate of discount, and do not buy. Our belief is that the suspension is a prudential measure, which was inevitable, and will do much towards bringing about a better state of public feeling. That it will be temporary, there can be no question, especial ly if the banks north and east of Pennsylvania, are not affected. The " Pennsylvanian " of the 25th ult.. in an article haded " Our Prospects in the State," makes the following assestions which look very much as if the friends of PACKER were discouraged, and were " whistling to keep their courage up." If the Pennsylran ian's statements are no more reliable than those contained in this paragraph, PACKER docs not stand the " ghost of a chance " of an election : " The prospects in the infected district, along the Xew York line, are far more encouraging than at this time last year. Tioga and Bradford will not give as heavy a ma- J ority for WILMOT as they did for the Fusion candidate for Canal Commissioner in 1556. The fire is burning it self out, the funds are not forthcoming to pay the sche mers, and, therefore, the vote will fall off—the majority be reduced." Republicans of Bradford ! what answer will you make to this prediction ? Are you wil ling to see it verified ; are you ready to per mit the pro slavery party to exult in a dimin ished majority in Bradford ? Are you ready to inflict upon our friends abroad such a mor tification and disappointment ? We will not believe it. But to avert such a disgrace, we must have work done. One man must not wait for his neighbor, but let every one go to work as if the result depended upon his individual effort. Let the Republicans in every town ship determine that I heir full vote shall be foil ed, and set about making the arrangements necessary to have every voter at the polls. If this is done, the Fennsylvanian aud kin dred prints will not have the satisfaction after the election, of poiuting to a diminished vote in Bradford, as evidence of Mr. WILMOT'S want of popularity at home. REMEMBER. That ILI.TAM F. PACKER is the recreant Pennsylvanian who moved, in the Cincinatti Convention, to adopt the notorious Buchauan Platform, " without dotting an i or crossing a t," — a platform, infamous alike in the sight of God aud man ! Keep it before the People, that he who votes for William F. Packer votes to sustain the odious principles embodied in (hat Platform ! LET EVEHY MAN DO HIS DUTY. We enjoiu upon every Freeman the immense responsibility that rests ujon him, in view of the present contest, and its pending issues.— Their magnitude should arouse every citizen to renewed and vigorous exertions. Let every man do his duty in the sight of his God and his couutry, and all will be well. And even though the cause of Freedom might be tem porarily prostrated yet all who have put forth the best exertions, will have the proud con sciousness of having performed their duty. A Teachers' Institute has been in session at East Smithfield, during the last and present weeks. We understand that the attendance is quite large ; and the best feeling manifested for the cause of Education. Our County Su perintendent has much reason to congratulate himself upon the general interest shown by the teachers of the County, in his laudable and and laborious efforts to elevate the condition of the Commou Sehools of the County. The evidences of his practical ability and experience are already leiug exhibited in a universal awakening of public interest, and in the pros perity and advancement of the schools. A llose Company, to be called " Lis- TA IIOSE CO., NO. 3," was organized on Mon day night by the electiou of the following offi cers : Foreman —F. D. MONTANYE. Ist Assistant — FED.

" Lint a"— (the interpretation of which is the " River born") —was a beautiful Indian nmiden known in a legend of the lowas, the story of which is exceedingly beautiful. ACTION !—lf those who profess an earnest iuterest in the cause of Freedom wish to prove their fidelity to principles, now is the time.— The facts are to be got before the people now. Every Republican vote in Tioga must be out next October. Begin note —let the organiza tion be perfected now, not the day before tbe election. Work to-day—this week—every day —all the time. One hour's preparation to-day is worth a month of " going to do it nest week." Friends, let us up be doing ! Let us rally for Wilmot and Freedom. Every man has a work to do. Every man is responsible for the re sult in October. We have to compete with glorious old Tioga for the banner. Forward to win ! The Ticket—from Governor to Auditor ! That is the way "to strike down the Allies !" THE WAY TIIEY TALKED. —The following is the way the Locofoco I'ress talked before Packer ran away : " ALL A MISTAKE. —Some of the Republi can prints are stating that Judge Wilmot has challenged Gen. Packer to meet him upon the stamp during the Gubernatorial campaign.— The whole story is a fabrication. Wilmot is not notorious for back-bone, as all will know who remember his declining to meet Mr. Schna ble last fall, upon the stump. Gen. Packer's his man whenever he feels like " pitchiu' iu.— Democratic Review. The same paper is now busy explaining to its readers that stumping is all wrong, and that Packer could not properly do anything but show a clean pair of heels when challenged to confront his opponent. The Juniata Sentinel, in view of Packer's back out, is tempted to indite the following verse : " O, Packer is the candidate— So eloquent and witty, He'll make a " bostin'' Governor, With help of a Committee."' DEATH OF JOHN B. KINGSLEY. —During the National Agricultural and Mechanical Fair, at Elinira, Mr. Kingsley made a visit thither, and, as he was returning, fell from the cars, by which his foot was severely injured. He received medical aid at Elinira, aud returned home, as was supposed, entirely free from dan ger. His foot was prescribed for by emi nent physicians, Dr. Churchill, of our village, among the number ; but, being seized with lockjaw, and mortification having set in, the accident, as might have been supposed, ended in death, Elder KING offciated in the funer al ceremonies, and the remains of the deceas ed were deposited in the Evergreen Cemetery, followed by a concourse of sympathising friends.— Owego Gaz. SUDDEN DEATH. —On Friday last our vil lage was thrown iuto mourning by the aonounc ment of the sudden death of Mrs. CHATFIELD, wife of Hon. T. I. CHATFIELD, who fell dead at her residence, in this village, as is supposed, in an apoplectic fit. During the day, and up to the time of her demise, Mrs. Chatfield was in the enjoyment of her usual remarkably good health. How true it is, "in the midst of life we are in death." The funeral ceremonies were attended to on Bunday?afternoon by Rev. Mr. HALL of the Presbyterian Church, and the remains were followed to Evergreen Cemetery by a large coucoursc of citizens.— Owego Gaz. flsy" The dwelling house of D. D. Spayd, at Middletown, Pa., at the " Point," long known as the " Red Tavern," was, on Tuesday night destroyed by fire. The fire was discovered about 11 1-2 o'clock, near the comb of the roof. The house was occupied by three fam ilies, all of whom suffered some ioss of furni ture —there being but little saved in the up per rooms. Not having an apparatus, no ef fort was made to save the building. FATAI, ACCIDENT.— The Ilorseheads Philoso pher learns that Henry J. Tibrett, a farmer aged about sixty years, residing in the town of Veteran, some eight miles from this village, was instantly killed on Monday last, by being stepped upon by an ox. Mr. T. was unyoking his oxen, when one of them made a rush at a dog standing near by, knocking him, Mr. T. down and stepping upon his breast, breaking several of his ribs and producing injuries which resulted in his death some five or ten minutes after the accident. Judge Wilmot's Canvass, AT MEADVII.LE —The Republican candidate for Governor spoke to an immense concourse of the freemen of Crawford on Friday last The assemblage was larger than any held j Q that county during the last Presidential cam paign and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.— It was much the largest meeting held anywhere iu the State during the present eanvass, and gave tbe most satisfactory evidence of the tarn estness and harmony of the friends of freedom in that great Republican stronghold of the West. We have the fullest assurance that Crawford will do better for Wilmot than it did for Freemorit. We begin to think that county is good for a majority of 2,500 for our State Ticket, and even a larger majority can be given if the Republicans exert themselves as they should do. A glorious spirit pervades the honest yeomanry of that county. The feeling iu other parts of the State would elect our ticket by 30,000 majority The Journal says that not less than 3,001) Freemen were present and pledges Crawford for 2,500 majority for Wilmot. AT ERIE —On Saturday evening several hun dreds of the people assembled in the East Park to hear Judge Wilmot. Owing to his arduous labors in keeping hi appointments for the past week, the Judge was too much fatigued to speak with his ac customed energy. Rut his arguments were powerful and convincing as ever, and he held his audience attentive for nearly two hours The earnest mauner and eloquent manners of the Judge carried conviction to the minds of all candid, honest hearers, and made a marked aud favorable impression which will tell power fully at the coming election. Hon. G. A. Grow, member of Congress from the " Wilmot District," followed in a speech of great beauty and power which electri fied the audience. He made some capital hits at the sham Democracy, and was frequently greeted with rapturous applause.— Erie Coni THE WILMOT MEETING. — The Wilmot meet iu this place on Tuesday, was a pleasant and profitable event to the cause. The assemblae of the people was, considering the time, unex pectedly large—demonstrating the interest taken in the questions at issne. We ehouia take pleasure in giving the interesting proceed ings of the day in detail, but our space tta week forbids. Between three and four o'clod in the afternoon, Judge Wilmot was escorts into town by Hawkins fine brass baud, ami quite a procession of horsemen and vehicles fiii ed with his frieuds—As soon as convenient after his arrival the concourse proceeded to Mr. Robert 11. Peeble's Grove, adjoining the borough, where the meeting was organized. Mr. Wilmot was introduced to the assembly by a few appropriate remarks on the part of the President. His speech had a most happy in fluence—strengthening the confirmed —warm- ing up the cool—and infusing a spirit of iuter est in the breasts of those who were previous. l ! iudiffercnt. Could the Judge have the privi lege of addressing the people throughout the State, as he addressed them in New Castle, his election would be rendered one of the cer tain events. — JVew Castle Gaz. HON. DAVID WILMOT AT WATER FORD.— Tie Hon. David Wilmot addressed the friends of freedom in the Borough of Waterford, in Erie County, on Saturday afternoon the 12th inst He was greeted, with great enthusiasm. The citizens of that part of the County turned cs liberally and the meeting was in every respeci a cheering one. To Judge Wilmot it was gratifying to I* received bv so large and respectable an amir ence as was the one at Waterford, and in rt turu he gave them one his best speeches-* speech of surpassing power, full of argumes: and earnestness. Indeed this earnestness e: i manner is the key to the power Mr. Wilmo: j exercises over the minds of meu. The people are alive to the impo-taace i the great issues pending and judging from th interest manifested at the meetings in Wate ford and Erie, we predict an overwhelming EI jority in this county for Wilmot, and if or brethren in other portious of the State do t well, his election is one of great prornise.- Erie Gaz. t&T The meeting at Birmingham on Sa:r day night, to hear the HON DAVID WILMOT, a graud turn out.
