Hon. James H. Porter.
We have heard it intimated from quar
ters likely to be well informed that this
gentleman seriously contemplates resign
ing the office of President Judge of this
District. The reason assigned is that
since the slight paralytic stroke he re
cently suffered, he has not had so com
plete a control of his right hand as to
write with the necessary facility. We
.-hall be glad to learn that this report has
no foundation whatever in fact, or if it
has that the impediment referred to is in
a fair way to be speedily removed. In
the whole Commonwealth there is not a
Judge more accomplished in the law or
more upright in Lis instincts and deliber
ations. We further hear that 3Ir. Thomas S.
Bell of Chester, late one of the Justices
of the Supreme Court of this Stato, is al
ready talked of as the successor. Tloncs-

We are determined to stay' and take our
chalices, to see the city out of it. I in
close our report of interments yesterday
(51) out of a population of not over 3,
500 white people. Interments for the
week 210. Everything is in an awful
slate, and death and destruction stare us
in the face ever-, where. The gale was
enough to have ruined us at most times,
and now all that is required to fill our
cup is a fire. YVc work night and day,
and spend our money as if it was public
property, for the benefit of the sick and
destitute, and ou cannot begin to imag
ine what distress prevails here. Wc can
not procure coffins enough to bury the
dead, and to-day all the house carpenters
in town have quit everything else, and
gone to making them. Our own citizens
have to take the spade and dig graves.
It is realty awful. Be satisfied that we
are all doing our duty and hope God will
help us to do good."

Old Soldiers' Widows.
In answer to inquiries on the subject,
we deem it proper to state that the follow
ing section in the Army Appropriation
bill is the only legislation during the last
session of Congress refering to widows'
bounty land or pension claims. All eir-'
culars, heretofore, professing to give in
formation as to Revolutionary claims or
prospects arc calculated, if not intended,
to deceive :

the act approved September twenty
eighth, one thousand eight hundred and
Qfty, eutitled "An act granting bounty
land to certain officers and soldiers who
have been engaged in the military service
of the United States," the act approved
March twenty-second, ono thousand eight

make land warrants assignable and for
other purposes," and the act approved
February third, one thousand eight hun

Coal Trade of Delaware andJHudson
Canal.
The shipments of coal from Iloncsdale
by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany, from the opening of navigation up
to the 10th inst. amount to 270,000 tuns.
Up to the same period last year, 310,000
tuns. Falling off this year, 43,000tuns.
The .shipments from Ilawley by the
Pennsylvania Coal Company, the present
season, up to the 16th inst. amount to
t'S-liO-l tuns. Up to the same period
last year 325,001 tuns. Deficit 10,450
tuns.
Total deficit by both Companies, S3
489 tuns.
But for the lack of water on the Sum
mit between the Delaware and Hudson
rivers the deficit would have been meas
urably relieved. The recent rains have
put the canal in good boating order, but
the streams are not yet so full as to keep
navigation up without drawing upon the

n; above deficit can be made up.: Hones-

Another Nebraska Meeting at Chicago.
On Saturday night there was a second
attempt to explain to the folks of Chicago
the beauties and benefits of the Repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. Lieutenant
Governor Willard of Indiana being bro't
forward as the chief speaker. Senator
Douglas and his immediate friends were
ou the platform. There was no actual
interruption of the proceedings ; but con
siderable merriment was occasioned by
the cross-questioning of the speaker by
the audience. Gov. Willard 's weaknesn
scorned to be an uncontrollable desire to
pitch into some newspapers, and among
others he selected the New York Tribune.
The moment lie had uttered the name, a
call was made "Three cheers for the N.

an almost unanimous voice that made
the rafters quiver, followed by six cheers
for Greeley, and groans for Douglas.

says he, 'why you are all of that order, I
sLould think, in California. When I left
the steamer, I made numerous inquiries
of those I met relative to matters which
interest'ed me, but nobody seemed to
know anything. Nobody knew which
was the best hotel what business prom
ised best for a stranger to embark in
what the present population of the city,
or indeed anything else. I tried hard to
get some information out of a gentleman
to whom I had a letter of introduction,
but failed. At leugth in despair, I said
'Will you take something to drink?' His
reply was characteristic : 'Well, I don't
know but 7 will.'

Whittlers and Scribblers.
There are a great many persons addict
ed to the sin and shame of whittling and
scribbling over the tables, chairs, railings
and desks, as well as nibbling at the ed
ibles and knick-knacks of their friends or
acquaintances. We remember a rather
capital stor', told of a Boston Yankee,
who for a series of years, was addicted
to nibbling in a grocery store, where he
once in a while bought household'luxuries.
At length the grocer thought ho would
keep a small account of the transaction,
and he did so, and at the end of the year,
among other items in the bill, was one
rather startling to the citizen, viz:
Ten dollars for nibbles, July 4, 1850,
to the 4th of July, 1851. The nibbles
were settled, but the nibbler gave up his
vocation and practice.
Piatt Evans, our next door neighbor,
relates a squib pretty much on a par with
the above. A gentleman came to Piatt's
store one day, and seating himself upon
the counter, outs with his knife, and cuts
quite a notch in the cud of the mahogany
plank of which the counter top was made.
Now any body at all acquainted with
Piatt, knows that he is not apt to suffer in
purse or property to auy extent without
making a fuss about it. Piatt observed
with horror and indignation the onslaught
made on his counter by the man's jack
nife and being very busy with sharp shears
cutting..out a garment, he made a miago,
and off went both the tails of the whit
tlers's coat.
"My stars!" said he, "Evans, what in
thunder arc you at V
"Oh, nothing!" says Piatt.
"Nothing. Why look here; you've cut
off my coat tail."
"And you've cut a chip out of my coun
ter " savs Piatt.
But that does not hurt your counter;
the little piece I whittled off may bo glued
on again," said he.
"So it can, and your coat tail," replied
Piatt, "that can be sewed on again, it
won't show very bad."
The whittler cleared out in high dud
geon, and also left off whittling.

Sirou isburg, March 30. 1851.
To the Electors of the Congressional Dis
trict composed of the Counties of Nbrth
amnton, Wayne, Carbon, Monroe and
Pike.
The undersigned has been requested by a
number of citizens from different parts of the
District, to offer himself as an Independent
Candidate for CONGRESS at the ensuing
election. Although the proposition was al
together ap-irt 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 are various. lie is willing to
serve the public if they make the demand.
Again he believes tint there is a desire iu
the District to have an Independent Candid
ate that thus opportunity may he allowed the
voters to express their views upon measures
ot importance now before the country. This
is a time to dismiss party subserviency and
to show by speech, vote, and action, true pa
triotism. No one capable of reading the
"signs of the times" can deny that our coun
try has reached a historical crisis. What
we need is not so much platforms or political
creeds as a fearless intrepidity to speak bravu
sentiments and to do right.
Having been bom and reared in the couuty
of Northampton, and lived therein almost all
his days, he fools 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,
i give his best attention to the advancement
of the interests of the important and growing
district whose special representative he would
be, not forgetting the principles to which the
cizons of the good old Commonwealth have
always been attached, at the same time stu
diously looking to the welfare of these United
State?, upon whose union and prosperity Ike
hopes of the friends of freedom throughout
the world rest.
