The Completion-orliol4n.
We published yest&day, says the Lan
caster Inielligencerc a full account of the
conviction of William W. Holden, Gover
nor of the State of North Carolina. Af
ter a patient and thorongh examination,
in which the accused was given every op
portunity to refute the grave charges
brought against him,he was solemnly ad
judged to be guilty in manner and form
as he stood indicted for high crimes and
misdemeanors. Being entrusted with.the
protection of the lives and property 01
the citizens of dim State, and commis
sioned to guard the Constitution of the
Common:malt/I'4nd to execute the laws
thereof, he impeded a band of sanguin
ary ruffians and turned their arms against
a peaceable and nnoffending people. Un
der authority given by him by his office
some were seized without any warrant of
law, thrown into loathsome prisons and
tortured in the most cruel manner to
make them evanf.ca
never committed. Men who had com
mitted no offence were hung np by the
neck, and other gross indignities, such as
only savages are accustomed to employ,
were practiced upon them. When an ap
peal was made to the courts by his victims
they were denied the sacred privilege of
the writ of habeas corpus, and civil law
was laid prostrate before the feet of arm
ed violence. The Treasury of the Com
monwealth was plundered to pay the bar
gains, whom he employed, to wreak ven
geance upon those whose only offense was
the exercise of that freedom in political
action which is the inalienable right of
every American citizen. having been
solemnly arraigned fur crimes of such
magnitude, he was ably defended, and al
lowed the advantage of every ancient ju
dicial right during the trial. The evi
dence against him was overwhelming,and
he has been formally adjudged to be guil
ty, and sentenced to be deposed from of
fice, and forever deprived of the rights of
citizenship in the State of North Caroli
na. That the verdict of the High Court
of Impeachment was eminently jest and
properno man who readthe evidence can
doubt The whole country : is interested
in seeing the majesty of the law preserved
inviolate, and their cherished institution
defended from such assaults us were made
upon them by this man Bolden.
Runoff!
The case of the People against Edward
Baal; has been prosecuted in the
courts to a conclusion and the verdict of
the Jury at Binghamton, which inJan nary
last found him avilty of murder in the
first degree, will no doubt have its legiti
mate result, in the execution of the con
demned.
Soon after the despatches announcing
the decis' lone were, received, Mr. Ilec - ker
and Mr. Whitney, attorneys for Itulloir,
went to his cell to inform' him of the ac
tion of the Court of Appeala - The in

I are mere shams and delusions. He also
denounces the plea of necessity set up by
the Radicals as an excuse for their acts, and
says that this• is always the tyrant's plea
i.for crime, oppresion and wrong. it is
a bold, frank protest against the usurpa
tions of Congress and the President, and
adds another stone to the monument on.

Disgraceful Scenes In a Radical Leg-
The Legislature of Arkansas 'adjourn 7
die ou Saturday morning. A. Lit
tle Rock despatch says that the House
had a night session, Instill.. until 2 A. 21,
at 'whic?), there was a great confusion.
During a call of the House, and while
Sergeant-at-arms was searchiag, for "ali
sentces, "whiskey flowed freely, cimars
were circulated, and a dozen members
were addressing the Chair at once." The
results of the session are thus summed up :
" The disabilities of about 200 persons
were removed, the taxes increa'se; tlia num
ber of new offices created and salaries
raised, and the registration laws so amend
ed that the Governor can carry almost any
election over the will of the people. Not
one measure of retrenchment or reform
was adopted."
INTERESTING OLD TIME ILE.II/NISCENCES,
The Athens Gleaner is publishing the
early history of Masonry in that region,
by which 'we learn that the first Lodge
organized in Northern Pennsylvania was
ill 1 ins. Mild lilt neic the
same year at Wilkcsbarre. The former
ceased to exist long ago, but the lanai' is
in successful operation now. In 1798 No.
70 was organized at Tioga Point, (now
Athens) and is in a prosperous condition
now. In 1797, between the time when
No. 70 was warranted and organized, a
lodge was established m Bath, in Strube?),
(then Ontario) county, N. Y. Except at
Canandaigua, and the one in Newtown
in 1704, there were no lotigesin our north
in the State of New York, and 'in the
west there were none nearer than Pitts
burg, where one had been established by
the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in
1783. The only other lodge bodering on
ours during the last century was the pres
ent old Binghamton, which wasestablish
ed on this side of the Chenango river, in
the then township of Union, in 1799.
Among the Masons who visited the sec
ond meeting of the lodge at Tioga Point,
as visiting brethren, was Col. Thomas
Baldwin, of Newtown, who was a mein
ber of the lodge there. He was an early
and well known settler on the Chemung,
and resided below Newtown, near where
the battle of Newtown was -fought by
Gen. Sullivan in 1779: - •
I He was himself in that battle as an En
isign was wonnded in it and taken back to
1 Tioga Point, where he remained till-Gen.
I Snllivan returned from his expedition.
Baldwin Creek, near where this 'battle
was fought, was named after him. His
descendants still reside in Einiira. Za
deck Elwell and Dan Elwell were also
there present as visitors. Zadock and
Dan Dwell u-ere, brothers. Dan came
i to Tioga Point in the same month that
this meeting was held. He was born
iin Southeast, Duchess county N. Y,
April 17, 1774. Ile had taken the
three first degrees in Masonery in La Fa
yette Lodge, in Amenia, in that &amity,
in 1796. lie and his brother Zadoe were
both carpenters by trade, and Dan's first
employment in Tiara, Point.. was-on the
house of Clement Paine in 1798, which
was the late residence of John Drake,'and
burned a few months ago. He lx-eattie a
member of this lodge March 24,1801, and
was voted an honorary memberl/ec. 5,
1826, which rank he held at the time of
his death. He died at_; Warr Etteniille

The Winter of 1871-1872.,
,4ature indulges in strange climatic
fwaltf c itt irregular, but somewhat well
delinediutervals. All of the past year may
he classed as exceptional. First, a sum-
Auer hotter than the-average of a century,
followed by a winter in which the polar
aireurrents seem to have shifted places
'with the tropics. The snow line, aband
oning its ancient dominion, has moved
tire hundred miles to the South; so that
its northern margin has actually imping
ed against its old southern boundary,
while all the territory northward has been
left naked and bare of its usual winter
covering.
/1 the region
,extending from Green-
Bay north, And westward, covering the
vast pincries.of the Upper Wolf and St.
Croix rivers in iVisconsin, and stretching
around .Lake Superior. to Pembina and
Saskatchewan, to an unknown distance
north, has been snowless, or so little has
fallen as to seriously iuconwiience lum
bering operations. It is estimated by per
sons conversant with the subject, that less
than two thirds Of,the ttsual logs hare
beets banked in trwpine country, and that
the supply of huliber will thus be very se
riously climinished. Most of the camps
hare been broken up, the men and teams
discharged„and ` logger's lament is heard
in these, grand old woods, piping higher
than the familiar whistle of old Boras.
Fears Are naturally .entertained that the
absence of now wiltdeprive the lumber
interests of the usual spring freshets, and
tat what has actually been cut at so
41UC11 cXIIOAEO and labor, may remain a
Axtt,re during the coming season. Very
heavy rains can only secure a harvesting
of. the log,erop. A failure in this respect
would only add fresh misfortunes to great
aial important interests.
Lake Superior, the half-way halting
ground between Aretic,and tropic Cimes,
seems to hare, for once, abandoned its of
fice of refrigerator; and the winter zone
has not ()lily lapped over, but actually
gone over to the tropical, leaving half of
the debatable " temperate" warmest on its
northern side. What results will follow
when the order is broken by the :Wyatt°.
ing season, can only be conjecturerL It
would not he very surprising if the break
up were followed by unusualatmospheric
phenomena. - The chief use of Superior,
in the economy of western seasons, is as a
playground for tempests. It is here that
heat and cold alternately meet and
warming the polar atur cooling the
torrid air en rren ts—and but for that kind
ly much of the western country
would be scarcely habitable.
The season of Lent is rapidly passing
away, and it may be of interest to our
readers to know something of the origin
and objects of this greatest of Church or
dinances. Among the Remanists it is a
time of penitential sorrow and mortifica
tion t a period when no animsl food or
wine is allowed by the cannons of the
church, and when all public festivities and
private entertainments are interdicted,
and even marria„ge is not permitted to be
solemnized. 'llie fast of Lent, which de
rives its name from the season at which it
is held ; .in the Spring—at the time of the
days lengthening—the - word let gten-tide
iv the.old Saxon signifying Spring time—
Was instituted to "commemorate the sor
rows of the Lord Jesus; to follow the ex
-Mimics of His forty days feast, and espec
ially to keep in vivid remembrance His
most blessed passion mid death. It was
thought a fit discipline to precede the
Jubilee of Easter, the day celebrated as
that of (Theist's resurrection.
The primitive churches always held a
fast before Easter, but time and the length
of the fast varied until the sixth century,
-when Gregory the Great occupied the Pa
pal chair. He then fixed the time of Lent
to begin on Ash Wednesday and to end it
Easter.
In Catholic countries, a week of festiv
ities, ending, in a carnival, where all is
wild mirth and abandon, always ushers in
this fast. This week of revelry, like- every
thing of the kind, is said to have had its
origin in the feasts instituted at Rome in
honor of Bacchus, which took place at this
time of the,year.
Formerely as a preparation fur the aus
terities of Lent, the people were required
to appear at the confession on the Tnes
dwF Previous, confess their sins and receive
absolution. Therefore this Tuesday grew
to be called Shrove Tuesday, from the An
glo-Saxon word scrifan, to confess, as on
that day the masses were shriven of their
sins. Through with this ceremony they
might go their tray and indulge in any
amnsementstintil tbemidnight bell warn
ed them that their gaiety must be
put away—the penitential season had be-

The great diversion between men and
wcatain was the baking and eating of ran
cakes. A bell was rung at noon, to call
people to con fession,at the sound of which
all housewives began to cook their pan
cakes.• This wa.s'known as the Pancakes
Pell. Confession overi-the kitchens were
filled with merry youths and maiden, try
ing to turn the 'miles by tossing them in
the air. The point was not to have them
scorched and catch them in the pan :
" And every• man and timid (loth take their
tunic,
And bass their pancakes up tor fear they heron;
And all the kitchen doth with laughter sound
To see the panel:tiles - fall upon the ground."
And so Ash Wednesday morning dawn
ed, and the people who hail spent the last
week in mad revelry and-sin met in the
churches to begin their humiliation. The
palms which had been blessed the years
precious, and used to celebrate Christ's
entry into Jersusalem, were reduced to
ashes, after being blessed and hallowed
with the sign of the cross, and sprinkled
with holy water, the priest distributed on
the heads of the people or signed them on
the forehead with the sign of the cross,
"to put them in remembrance of pounce
in the beginning of Lent, and to remind
them that their bodies are but dust and
ashes." AncientlY'great sinners appeared
on this day in sackcloth and with ashes
upon their 'heads.
The forty days of fasting over. Easter
comes in, the night of the year has pass
ed, and man, regenerated by long absti
nence, prayer, and the contemplation of
heavenly things, rojoices with nature in
the ressurrectiou. All things are new and
with them commences a new spirtual life.
Death of a Son of Henry Clay
Thomas nart Clay, the second son of
Henry Clay, died at his residence, near
Lexington, By., on Saturday night last.
He was a graduate of Transylvania Uni
versity, and it is said, of West Point.
Upon the election of Dlr. Lincoln he was
appointed Minister to Nicaragua, and af
terward to Honduras, both of which ap
pointments he accepted. Since his return
he hasbecn an invalid from neuralgia, from
which disease be died. Says the Lexing
ton "Press": "The death of Thomas Hart
Clay (he was named after his grandfather)
makes a void in the social family circle
in this country which will long remain
unclosed; for, while his illness debarred
him in a great measure, of late years,
from visiting or entertaining to any con
siderable d egree, his companionable nature,
his cordiality and the kindness of man
ilex that always so pleasantly impressed
visitors, rendered his society attractive.
Mr. Clay's sympathies were readily arous
ed : he was sincere and open in his friend
ships as in his dislikes; disdaining all
petty measures and artifice; generous and
impulsive ; devoted to friends and just to
his enemies, he was a man deserving of
the love of his family and the esteem and
confidence of his fellow-men. In dying,
he leaves behind au untarnished name as
a priceless heritage to his children, and a
record of usefulness in private and in
public life for his friends to point to with
pride,"

tractive appearance is due to the presence of
foreign matter. The material commonly used
for coloring butter is mulatto, A recent ex
amination of several samples of the finest look
mg butter that could be procured revealed the
fact that while all were colored with nnnatto
each sample also contained a large per tentage
of inorganic matter. Copper was found in
nearly every sample, while in one the traces of
arsenic were detected. This is a comforting
tact.

road about one month ago, and has not since

of age, is 5 feet 7 inches in height, and has sandy
hair and complexion. Any information of his

An Infernal Machine.
.11,c Is: taa nuother
machine for auricular tonure. It is a toy called
"the rooster, - and is formed of an empty tin
can Of any sin'. open at the top. and with a hole
punched in the bottom: Through the Ist.de is
drawn a common shoe-string with a knot tied
in one end to prevent it from slipping through.
The string then is thoroughly waxed, and a
most diabolical noise produced by sliding the
Gagers over it up and down. The sounds
drawn from this latest juvenile nuisance, close
ly resembles the crowing of a bantam rooster
with a had cold, or the braying of an exasperat
ing donkey, with an occasional cross anywhere
between the two, according to the taste of the
performer. The harrowing tones of a pig wi
der a gate, the caterwauling of a host of noctur
nal cats or the haying of a loud mouthed cur will
he pronounced dulcet music when compared
with the notes of the new atrocity.
Moonstruck Fish
A family of Oswego ; consisting of five per
sons, were taken suddenly and severely ill, the
symtoms being similar to those experienced
From the action of some violent poison. The
physician who was called pronounced their ill
ness the effects of pison from moonstruck fish.
He explained that fish are thus rendered a
dangerous article of food by being exposed to
the light of the full moon while dying, and he
had noted numerous cases of illness with precise,
ly similar symptoms, orginating from the cause
in Scotland and some other countries. The Ill
ness produced, though rarely fatal, is very severe,
and its effects continue for some days. The
common symtoms are headache, nausea, with
severe and exhaustive etching, heat in the face
and held, and a sensation as of the head and
face swelling greatly, and not unfregneatly at
tended with delirum. Persons who havh any
desire to experience the effects of this singular
illness, can gratify their curiosity by simply ex
posing freshly called fish of any species to the
rays of the moon for a short time, and the in
dulging of their appetites thereon.
How To Spell. • •
Often, in writing, a simple word is required,
of the orthography of which the writer is not
sure. The dictionary may be referred to, but is
not always convenient. An easy mode is to
write the word on a bit of waste paper, in the
two or three ways of which you are in doubt
time times in ten the mode which looks right is
right. Spelling—particularly English spelling
—is so completely a work of the eye, that the
eye alone should be trusted. There is no reason
why "receive" and "believe" should be spelt dif
ferently, yet sounded alike, in their second
syllables. 'Yet write them "receive" and "be
leive" and the eye shows yon the mistake at
once. The best way for young people, and in
deed people of any age, to learn to spell, fa to
practise writing. Cobbett, the famous English
radical, taught his children grammar by ro.
quiring that they should copy their lessons two
or three times. These lessons he hintscifgavo
them in the form of letters ; and his French and
-English grammars are two of the moat amusing
books in tho English language. pf, Codite
"learning to - spell" came in,incidetally.

Change of Publication Day.
"As the Montrose Democrat Is issued on Wed

thongt, after Ore consideration, that Thursday

our readers; - by making a paper a little later to
as to give what local we are able to get from
the Democrat that would interest."—.Nerthern
nryttrin ion.
We are a little at a loss to fully understand
the import of the above article, but woara dis
posed to accept it as a compliment to our paper
end would return our thanks .if we are to
understand by this that the editor, proposes to
establish his paper upon it - Democratic founda
tion we will still more cordially extend him
the right hand of fellowship, believing as we
do that, the pure principles of Democracy are
the pillars upon which the free institutions of
America were constructed, and that only by
them can we expect a return to our national
prosperty, and a more extended dissemination
of truth is needed.
Our experience with neutral papers Is, that
they are the worst kind of Radicals, hence our
advice to friend Gaffer is to hoist his flag either
Democrat or Republican, for a man that attempts
fo ride two horses is very liable to fall between.
The Northern Penntyleantan assumed to run
heretofore upon a "neutral basis," and when an
important election was to be met true to the
history of all such, it donned the furl armor of
Radicalism.
No Democrat fears to announce his senti
ments, hence we consider every paper Radical
that sails under a neutral flag. We cannot see
the difference whether a man smothers his
opinions for patronage and attempts to draw
his support pecuniarily from both , parties, or
whether he deliberately sells his vote at the bal
lot %x Tor money. We deem it as Impossible
for an editorto discharge his duty and maintain
neutrality, as for a leopard to change his spots.
There is no community but that will always
commend frankness whether it accords with
their views or not.
Lines Written by n Lady
Upon the death of Genrgiana S. Denison, who
died at St. Josephs, Pa, in 1837:
And is It so? or cher we dream,
I ler brilliant lamp bath ceased to burn ;
For truly it doth scarcely seem,
That she is gone not to return.
Yea ! she lath gone not to return,
Like some bright star that quit its sphere
On sunbeams of early morn,
That-shines more bright to disappear.
A traneicnt cloud in suannerskies,
Floating amid the blaze of thy;
Which, ere it to the zenith rise,
Melts in the etlierial light away.
Cold is that frank and open brow,
do late with radiance gilded o'er:
lier cheerful VIA= is silent now,
I ler buoyant step we see no mere. '
With swollen hearts and stifled sighs,
Silent in sorrow's shades we mourn.;
We meet—we pass with humid eyes,
And drop a tear in her young urn. •
Farewell! within this vale of tears,
A little while we yet remain ;
'Tis but at most a few short years,
Till kindred souls may meet again
If e'er the writer's steps forlorn,
Should see's thy low and grassy bed;
Fain would he set, in tear, of morn,
The moss rw drooping o'er thy bead.
flow soon may pass our fleeting breath!
A flower may fall in early bloons
Surely," in life we are in duath,"
But breathing tenants of the tomb.
Could sympathy but lend relief,
Freely her aid would she bestow,
To sooth the kindred mourners grief—
To dry those silent drops of wo.
To feeble man, 'twaa never giren,
To turn the shafts of fate aside;
To ward the blows that full from heaven,
(Jr curb affection's swelling tide.
Yet when affiietion's swelling tide,
Is O'Cr us given loose to roll;
Those who may number by our skin
In feeling unison of soul;
Will leave imprecgims on the
Its tender puke will long repent;
And may not from their seal depart,
Until its teehlust—latest beat.
Though we may claim no kindred ties,
Yet kindred tears we too may shell ;
For we can feel—can sympathise,
With those who sorrow fur the dead.
Yes—those there an whose feelings flow,
In channels other's feeling++ wear;
Who know the secret springs of wo,
That swell the hearts that linger there.
Who when they see the warm tear start,
Can analyze it on the cheek;
Can read the language of the heart,
Ere yet the answering heart would speak
What feeble tongue could he'er express,
The minds of kindred mould can feel ;
'Tis they and they alone may dress,
The wound that heaven alone can heaL
To heaven alone, then let us bring
The weary, mourning, drooping soot;
And wait the angel's shadowy wing,
To stir Bethesda's healing pool.
For He who died on Calvary's tree,
oath made his sacred promise blest
" Ye heavy laden come to me,
And I will give your spirits rest."
