Alarming Mortality.
A disease, supposed to be Cholera,
l)roke out in Columbia, Lancaster county,
Pa., on the 7th inst., and in the fpace of
Ove days 73 persons died. Many of the
people fled from the place. Physician
from Philadelphia went on there and ob
serving that the disease raged principally
among those who drank the water con
tained in the Reservoir, an examination
itook place, and it was discovered that the
carcasses of certain dead sheep which had
died in the railroad cars had been thrown in
to the reservoir. The water being drained
off the putrid bodies were found.
The town is almost deserted. Out of
a population of nearly five thousand, not
more than twelve or fifteen hundred are
remaining. All the hotels and stores are
closed. Fires have been built in all quar
ters of the town, with a view of disinfect
ing the air. All kinds of vehicles are
brought into requisition to carry the dead
to their graves. Such is the substance
of the despatches received.
The latest information we have
from
ithis place, is, that the disease is abating

Pollock's Prospects.
Tho Conncaulvillc Banner says that
Cra'wford county will give Mr. Pollock a

The Hew Orleans Rip'.s.
Baltimore, Sept. 18. The New Or
leans papers received here to-day contain
particulars of the recent riots there.
The riots originated in a quarrel be
tween citizens and the watchmen, the lat

having been taken up br their country
men. An irregular light ensued, in which
muekets and pistols were freely used. It
"was kept up the whole of Monday night.
The American party assembled in front
of the City Hall, and marched to the
foreign quarter of the city, where the
battle raged with great violence.

A Large Eog.
Mr. Peyton Davis, residing in thc

has a hog of huge dimensions. We are
informed by a gentleman who was to see
his hogship that he measures nine feet
ten inches from snout to tail, seven feet
two inches in girth, and is four feet high.
His supposed weight is 1,200 pounds.and
his age two years and sis months. If any
farmer in the state can beat this specimen
of Loudoun growth, we request him to
'trot him out.' Mr. D., when killing time

Statistics of the Odd Fellows.
On mouday, the Grand Sire of the In

ted to the Grand Lodge of the United
States, which commenced its session that
dav in Baltimore, a very interesting Re
port, from which we learn that there an

000. The Grand Lodge of British
America having been extinguished, the
Grand Lodge of the United States has,
at the desire of the members of the Order
in Canada, resumed its authority over all
the continent north of us. W! n this re
sumption took place, on the 14th of Octo
ber last, there were but six Lodges in
British North America, but now there are
fifteen actively at work. The Grand
Master of California has inquired of the
Grand Sire as to the propriety of admit
ting Chinese members to the Order, and
allowing them to have a Lodge in the
Chinese language, and the reply has been
favorable. Pennsylvania has the largest
Grand Lodge in the Union, with over
five hundred subordinate Lodges, and a
membership but little short of fifty thou
sand. lElaine Election.
The election took place in this State, on
Monday of last week. The returns, though
necessarily imperfect as yet, render it
almost certain that Anson V MoitRit,
the Anti-Nebraska Fusiouist Candidate
for Governor, is chosen by the people; a
result quite unlookcd for, since there were
four candidates in the field. Nebraska
and the Administration are emphatically
nowhere, the entire delegation in Congress
being probably againfct them, and the
Legislature being largely Anti-Douglass.
The Democrats have not elected a single
Senator to the Legislature in thf whole
State. As far as heard from the Demo
crats have elected 12 representatives.
All the rest are Auti-Ad ministration.
The State of Maine speaks of-the rout
of the Administration as overwhelming,
and says the result is mainly attributed to
that new order of things in political war
faro, the Know-Nothings.

"The War Horse" on Bigler.
In a recent trial of a case at Lancas
ter, it was desirable to produce a witness
who had been convicted of larceny, and
to be able to do so, it was necessary to
procure a pardon for him from Gov. Big
i.er. Col. Frazer, who was engaged on
Mm nnnosite side, in his sneech referred
-, 4
to the pardon, and said of the Governor :
" That man at Ilarrisburg has so a-
bused the official powers vested in him,
more particularly the pardoning, power
that no decent, honest man, desires to be
associated with his party.

Kno7-5Fothings in Northampton.
The Easton Argus is in great tribula
tion in cousequencc of being threatened
with having a majority of Know-Nothing
n,.Witis in the Nominating Convention
of Northampton county. It says :
At the approaching election an attcmp
will be made hi this Know-Nothing in
(luence to defeat the whole regular Dem
ocratic ticket of thii county. Tn order to
accomplish this, Lodges have been opened
in almost every -Township and Village
within its borders. There are three
Lodges in the Borough of Easton, one
for each Ward, Samuel Siegfried, an in
ilnncndont candidate for Register, ana
Willi nxnects to cot the Know-Nothing
rotti. is Secretary of the West AVard
Lodc, M. F. Stilwell, the editor of the
Farmer, and Aaron beip, a gciuicm
whom the Democrats were kind enough
to elect Coroner last fall, are among lb
n,nt rmtivfi members. Reuben P. Micke
rhn has a dvertised himself as a candi
date for Prothonotary, 'subject to the decis
ion of the Democratic County Convention
joined them about ten days ago and b
a member in full standing.
The Argus goes on to say where-othci
lod"es have been established in thecoun
ty, and states as a fact that there is one
in Bushkill, one in Williams township, one
in Ilellertown, one in Freemansburg, one
in Bath, one in Centrcville, and at vari
ious other places. It is evidently very
much frightened, and gives unmistakea
ble sigus that the Know-Nothings are
making sad havoc among the faithful in
good Old Democratic Northampton.
The Artful Dodger.
The Locofoco papers are in ecstacies
over the letter of Henry S. Mott, their
candidate for Canal Commissioner, which
they call a denial of his connection with
the Know Nothings. The Lancaster
Examiner copies the letter and says
But, it will be observed, this disclaimer
teas U'ilhhcld until after Mr.' Molt had
for mall' received the nomination of the
Know Nothings as their candidate. It is
now proclaimed by members of the order
that Mr. Mott is a member, and that un
der no other circumstances could he have
procured the nomination. His disclaimer,
they say, is a mere evasion, or quibble, to
"ull outsiders, uutthc initiated icnoic better:
Our Know Nothing friends say, they
know he is deceiving the democracy.
Then we ask, is that man who wilfully,
deliberately, and solemuly lies to his old
friends, and as wilfully and deliberately
proposes to cheat a large portion of the
voters of the State out of their dearest
and most sacred ri.L'ht the right of suf
frage for it is nothing eke is that man
worthy to receive the vote of any Ameri
can Citizen !
Those acquainted with Mr. Mott know
him to belong to the Uuchanan-Digler-aud-Campbell
wing of the Democratic
party, lie was chosen candidate of the
most ultra members of that wing brought
out three years ago and adhered to till
his nomination was effected. His election
is more important to that division of the
party embracing all the foreigners and
Catholics than thatofBigler himself; as
with Mott and Hopkins in the board, the
public works will remain under the control
of the same clique. These artifacts which
an one can verify for himself, by apply
in" to those well informed in the matter.
With Mr. xMott in the board, we do not
look for any improvement in the manage
ment of the public works there i3 noth
ing in his past history to encourage the
hope that he would look upon them as de
signed for aught else than to maintain the
supremacy of the Democratic party. As
a member of the Legislature he was noted
for his extreme partizen course never
voting upon a question on its merits, but
on its democracy. We do not recollect
of a single instance in which he rose above
the dead level of a party hack.
A Little Husband and a Little Wife.
The Sandusky Register is responsible
for this. Two little children a boy and
a girl aged four and three years respect
ively were missed by their families and
search made every where for them, but
in vain. The day passed, and consider
able alarm existed. Persons were out in
all directions and the bell ringer had been
sent for, when passing a thicket in the
garden, the mother thought she heard the
sound of low voices near. Pulling away
the leaves, there was the truants, with
their night clothes oi, locked in one an
other's arms and very snugly stowed a
way for the night. The precocious lovers,
were stirred from their nest, but the boy
expressed the utmost indignation, for he
said "the hired man had married me and
sissy, and that bush house was hizzen and
they were going to live there till it rained.
The denouement was so comical, that it
was concluded to let them bo married un
til fhey had a fallinging out, which oc
curcd the next day, and now they live a
part a sepcraled man and wife.

Mountain Fires and Wild Game.
The recent mountain Ores in Vermont,
and in New York, in the vicinity of Lake
Champlain, have driven the wild beasts
and game from their 'local habitations,'
and forced them to seek new retreats
nearer the inhabited portions of the coun
try. On the west of Lake Champlain,
the fires have swept from a short dis
tance above Whitehall, up along the lake

Another Great Tree in California
At a late meeting of the Boston Natural
History Society, Dr. Ayrcs furnished the
following items derived from Dr. Bigelow,
of San Francisco, relative to another huge
tree in that region. The tree lies on the
ground, having fallen many years since.
From the base to the point whero it is
broken off, it is found to be three hundred
and ten feet ; all beyond this was burned,
probably by the Indians, but fragments
lie scattered along to the distance of a
hundred and fifty feet, and from the sizo
of these fragments, Dr. Bigelow feels con
fident that the tree must have been five
hundred feet high. At the base it is, by
computation, one hundred and ten feet in
circumference, and at the end of the three
hundred and ten feet, it is, by measure
ment, forty feet iu circumference. This
is almost as much beyond, in size, the
great tree which has attracted so much
notice as that is beyond trees of common
size. Dr. Abbott remarked that Dr.
Pickering had seen trees in California as
remarkable for their slenderness as well
as height, lie had seen one three hun
dred and ten feet high, measuring only
nine feet in diameter at the base, and at
the broken extremity only nine inches.
The Philadeldhia police entered nine
disreputable houses lst Friday night,
and arrested 38 females, and IG men.
The females consisted of young girls, old
shameless women, and servant girls in re
spectable famines: the men comprised
clerks, professfoTial men, knights of the
buskin, and two countrymen, whose wag
ons were in market. The Mayor heavily
fined or imprisoned the keepers of the
houses, and placed their frequenters under
bonds to be of good behavior.
A staunch Democrat in our neighbor
hood, during the Mexican war, wascalled
upon to pray at a regular ohurch meeting,
upon which he perpetrated the usual form
upon such occasions, with this addition :
'Oh, Lord, be with our army in Mexi
co, whether it be right or whether it be
wrong, bless it. We of t.he Democratic
party are charged with making a war of
conquest; but we believe it to be a war
of defenco. But, oh, Lord, we would
not enter into an argument on the subject
before you but for further particulars
would refer you to the. President's mes
sage.

The undersigned has heen requested by a
number of citizens from diftvrcnt parts of the
District, to offer himself as an Independent
Candidate for CONGRESS at the ensuing
election. Although the proposition was al
together apart from his wishes or expecta
tions, yet, after much reflection, he has de
termined to give an affirmative response to
his friends,
The reasons which have induced
this conclusion arc various, lie is willing to
serve the public it they make the demand,
Ajrain lie believes that there is a desire 111

ate that thus opportunity mny be allowed the
voters to express their views upon measures
of importance now before the country. This
is a time to dismiss party subserviency and

triotism. No one capable of reading the
"signs of the times" can deny that our coun
try has reached a historical crisis. What
wc need is not so much platforms or political
creeds as a fearless intrepidity to speak brave
sentiments and to do right.
Having been born and reared in the countv
of Northampton, and lived therein almost Jill
his days, lie feels that he needs no special
introduction of himself to the people of the
district. Specific pledges it is not wise to
anticipate. Generally he promises, if elected,
to give his best attention to the advancement
