He roached Easton on Tuesday last, in ti.o noou tram irom jNcw lorir. lie war welcomed at the Court House, by a very -ppropriate address by the Hon. J. M. Porter, to which the Governor replied in a long and interesting discourse. The Whig says the Governor looks ex tremely well, and from his appearance, wc should think his health had been im proved by his residence in the Territory- Adjournment of the Legislature. A joint resolution providing for a final aljournmeut of the Legislature of this ttute, on the Sih of May, has passed both Lou cs. From Harrisburg. ITarrisburg, April 30. The bill to incorporate the Strouds- I urg Bank, which had been vetoed by t' Governor, was debated at length and I I i yeas 7, nays 10. Telegraph Line from Stroudsburg to Eastoiu It affords us much pleasure in being a to inform our readers that this much ed of affair is about to be realized. ! V M rs. Heckman, Mingle, and Green, E-fon, having obtained the patent .-'lit, are now canvassing the route for ' i1 voriptions to the capital stock, and we t ' ufident that they will be able to dis- j '-e f the entire amount of stock in the urso of a few days. The following, in !at:ou to this matter, wc extract from a late number of tho "Eastonian." 4 Ihc entire line from Easton to Strousburg it is carefully estimated will n t S5,G0l). The annual working expen- s need not exceed S500 ; so that a bus- of .?S35 per annum will pay the ex rcn ca of the line and a dividend, on the capital invested, of 6 per. cent. That th: Wqp will do much better than this ad mits of little redoubt. The receipts of the Stroudsburg and Easton offices alone would more than don He our ostimate as above, and the office at the Delaware water Gap during the summer season would be very profitable. The immense advantage to the business i::cn of Stroudsburg and iutermediatc pla cj2, of a direct communication by tele graph with Philadelphia and New York we need not suggest, is a consideratio ci nigu importance, wmcu ttiey are i:ct likely to overlook, while their neigh bors all round are enjoying its great ben cts. It is certain that a considerabl ration of the stock will be greedily taken !n Philadelphia, on business considcra tiens, and without regard to dividends Telegraph linos at this time are looked upon with tho same view as good roads they are indispensible to the successful and a"- "nu'iuniwu ui uusiues?, anu pay or i.o pay, every business community mus Lave one. Fortunately this Line can and will be made to pay, equally as well per haps as the Philadelphia and Wilkes barrc Line, one of the very best paying lines in the country. "If Messrs. Heckman & Co., can effee an arraugement with the Belvidcro people bo as to form a connection with that thri ving place, it will considerably enhance t':c value of the whole line. In the mean time, wc advise our Stroudsburg friends to take hold of this enterprise with a lib eral and confident spirit, and carry it !brough It will bring them within ten minutes walk of all the business men of 'cw York and Philadelphia as well as nearly all Pennsylvania ; and who shall compute the value of euch an advantage j them?"

The Baltimore American states that CommisMoner Manypenny having refer red to recent sales of land in Kansas, in which it now appears Governor lteeder was concerned, as disreputable attempts of ccrtaiq official functionariesto specu late in lands, Governor Becdcr replies to the allegation in a tart letter, denying the insinuations of the Comtuitsioncr, and in conclusion submitting the following prop position : Your report on these contracts makes, as I have (shown, fierce charges of fraud. If true, I am a dishonest man; if false you arc a Elandercr. One of us, then, disgraces the office he holds, and it i time to know which is the man. In view of this, I propose to you, Sir, a compact, that if you shall, before the first day of October next, make good these charges to the satisfaction of the President, he shall at once remove me from office; and if you fail, the same penalty shall be meted out to you. You have sown your gratuitous, inexcusable calumny broadcast over the Union, and now I solicit, 1 challenge, I defy you to this test. "If there is a spark of manliness in your composition, you will not shrink from it. I desire to goad you to its acceptance. Office, in my estima tion, is of little value reputation is price less; and my only fear that you will de cline this offer is based upon the cogent evidence that your estimate of these com modities is in an inverse ratio to mine." Gov. Boeder, of Kansas, having left the territory to pay an official visit to Washington, the Missouri interlopers have started a project for obtaining a Gover nor of their own stripe. A telegraphic despatch from St. Louis, dated April 25th says that 'a copy of a handbill headed "People's Proclamation," is just received from Kansas dated April 9th. It was not circulated until after the departure of Gov. Beedcr. It was as follows : Whereas, Governor Beeder has shown himself incompetent and uufit for the du ties ; and whereas, the appointment of a man to the Governorship without consult ing the choice of the governed, is an ar bitrary exercise of power the citizens of Kansas have therefore resolved to hold an election at Leavenworth on the 28th inst , to elect a person to succeed Gover nor Boeder, whose removal will be solici ted. Calls have been made for delegations from each district to meet at Leavenworth on the 2Sth, to select a suitable person to nl.l the office whose name is to be forwar ded to the President for appointment. Attempted Suicide of a Gambler. loss of 81O0T,OOO at Faro Banks. A wealthy gentleman named Bailee, from Mar3land, arrived here some two weeks ago on a visit to las friends, and became a guest of the Carlton House. He fell into the habit of visiting the gam bling establishments of Broadwa', and became at Faro a "desperate better." On some occasions the sharpers would play the game in such a manner as to let the intended victim win four or five hun dred dollars. When satisfied that their customer was fit to be piucked, operation r-r . commenced m earnest, lie oiten n&Kea on "one turn" Eeveral five hundred dollar "chips," amounting in the aggregate some 83000 or S1000 by the mere draw ing of one card from a tin box in th hands of the "dealer." In this way th poor man persisted, until he was fleeced at last, oi nearly every dollar he possessed We have been assured that his loss wi probably exceed one hundred thousand dollars all in the short space of a wee or ten days. During the past forty-eight hours Mr B. has been in a state of great excitement He became quite unconscious on Saturday and made his way to the house of Cinder ella Marshall, in Leonard street, where he was cared for. At 8 o'clock in the evening he was much worse, indeed crazy at intervals. Iho landlady despatched messenger for a doctor, but before he ar rived Mr. Bailee attempted to destroy himself by swallowing six ounces of laud 1 ill anum irom a DOttie, wnicn uc carried in his coat pocket. The attendance of Dr Clark, Dr. Bradshaw and Dr. Bacon was forthwith procured. The stomach pump was used freely, and every effort was mad to arouse him not unsuccessfully. Las evening Mr. B. was lying very weak but the physicians were of the unanimous o pinion that he would survive. The name of the parties who had been instrumenta in robbing this Marylander at Faro Banks and other gambling places, have not vc been made known. X. Y. Daily Times, jipru 24. An Elopement in High Life in Orange, An unprecedented excitement has been created in the neighboring village of Or ange, by elopement of a married gentle man with a young lady ot great persona attractions, and the daughter of one of the richest residents of that place.

The Commissioners of the Mauch Chunk Bank give notice that they will o pen the subscrintion books at Hip. louse of Carbon Count j', on Monday the 21st of May, in Wicssport on 22nd. on the 23d in Beaver Meadow, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday the 24tl), 25th and 2Gth at Iaueh Ghuuk. Food, Prices and Prospects. Under this head tho N. Y. Tribune gives a comprehensive review of the food market throughout the United States, with some speculations as to the prospect of diminished prices by the amount of the incoming crops. We are paying more for Flour throughout the Uuion, at thc.pTos ent time than ever before. Indian Corn, in particular, is higher in those western regions where it is most abundantly pro duced than ever uciore Known. In Illinois "corn commands at the crib, in many places, 1 per bushel, hay 820 per ton, and other articles of breadstuffs and cattle-iceu correspondingly high pri ces. In some districts quite a number of cattle and hogs have died from starvation, and as a general thing, stook is in very poor condition. Preparations are being made in the west tor plantiug larger crops than common. A greater breadth than usual has been put down to oats within the last fortnight, and more will yet be nut in. Plowing for corn has commenced and extensive crops will be planted." The St. Louis Bcpublican, after speak ing of the high prices prevailing, comes to tnc conclusion that they arc not "mfla ted :" "The truth is a general scarcity of breadstuffs prevails throughout the coun trv. and this is evidenced more or less every day aa the spring business opens Along the lake line, from Chicago to New York, receipts fall short of expectations indulged, and from this point, South and East, a more than usual demand exists Buyers are in this market from the Ohio and Tennessee, for wheat and corn, and hardly a boat goes out but the cargo eon sists, in part, of'grain." In Michigan, there is a very great com plaint of scarcity and high prices. In Ohio, Corn is 75 to 100 cents a bush el, and cattle dying for want. Not only in New York, but in all tho Atlantic cit ies, the same complaint exists of high pri ces and scarcity, though many, seem to think that speculation is the sole cause of the difficulty. They are quite mistaken. So are those who think that the 'opening of spring trade will bring abundance and low rates.' How can that be, when flour at the West is over ten dollars ! We no ticed quotations at Pittsburg the other day, S10 and 810 75, and it ranges equal ly high in many other localities. At Cleveland, Ohio, Flour is carried inland to feed Wheat producers. Prices are reg ulated by supply. That tho supply is short is proved by the almost universal high price. There arc no heavy stocks of Wheat and Flour anywhere, and the whole Mississippi Valley is likely to be drained closer than ever before since the country was cultivated. Of course, there can be no Corn to come forward at the present price and scarcity in the West. It is possible that prices here will not go much higher, but that chance hangs by a single thread. It will not depend upon the prospect of the growing crop of Wheat, and of that no prediction can be made of the least value. Several of the Western papers have begun to comment. upon the present appearances. At Kalamazoo, Michigan, the talk is encouraging, and a large breadth wa3 sown. Q'hc Begister pub lished at Indiana, Pa., has a flattering item of the appearance of wheat in that region. It was in tbat region that the red weevil devasted the country. The Law renccburg (la.) Press says that the cold in March has injured the wheat on flat clay land. In many fields the whilhcred plant may be scraped up in handfuls Ihe dry weather of April will be equal ly fatal to all such fields. I he Lafay ettc American says that the wheat crop promises well in that section. We ear nesfly hope it will fulfill its promise al over the country, for upon that does the salvation from suffering of. thousands of the laboring poor depend. Wc again urge it a3 a duty upon every cultivator of the soil to increase, by every possible means, the area of his planting the present season Particulars of the Eiot at Chicago. The Chicago papers bring us extended particulars of the not in that city on Sat urday last, of which the telegraph has given the main facts. It appears the City Councils, some weeks ago, raised the price of license to sell liquors to 8300 per year, and stipulated that all licenses should cease on the first of July, when the pro hibitory law goes into effect, provided it is ratified by the people at the June clec tion. A number of persons thereupon refused to take out licenses and persisted in selling. against tnese suits were brought, and the trials were set down for Oi l li rni . ...t oaiuruay last. Lite excitement, in tnc mean time, rapidly increased, and on Sat urdaT a large and excited crowd gather cd in and about the court house, blocking up every avenue there to such an extent that the Mayor was compelled to summons the police and order the passages to be cleared. One man only refused to obev the officers, and tho attempt to eject him led to the mob, the calling out of the mil iary , and the wounding of several pcr- sous after some desperate fighting. The police were repeatedly fired upon, and one of them, named Hunt, fell with three balls in his body. His arm was subse quently amputated. Nathan Weston, an other officer, was dangerously if not fa- ally wounded. Two others were also injured. The map who shot Hunt was pursued by a citizen, fired upon, and ta- ccn to jau in a aymg state. ills name i - I w 1- i. T was Peter Martin. Fifty-six arrests were made. The police were on duty during Saturday night and on Sunday, and eve ry person found on the streets with fire arms was arrested. Boys were not ncr- mittcd to be out after dark, and the most effectual measures were adopted to stop the rioters and bring them to punishment. A number of them, were severely wound ed, on Sunday peace was entirely rc- tored. Bedekmed at Par The notes of all the suspended free banks of Illinois arc now redeemed at par by tho Auditor of that State, he having sold the stppks which were pledged for security of thViiotcs. J he suspended banknotes of Wis consin jarciho redeemed1' at par. TiTrHitiri"rTgf Spiritual Manifestations. We learn from tho Mount Holly N. J. Minor that considerable excitement has been caused recently in that part of the State by certain alleged "spiritual mani festations." It appears that not long since a servant girl living in the family of Sher iff Ivins, at Tom's Biver, uccan county, in that State,commcnced acting so strange ly as to excite the attention of every one who saw he. She was questioned in re gard to her conduct, when she said she was under the control of some supernat ural or spiritual agency, but could not, in any way,account for it, and that the spirits influencing her had assured her they were good spirits. They would come and go at pleasure, leaving her to wonder at the sudden transformation in her leelings. While under the influence alluded to, hcrstrengthsccmed almost equal to Samp son's, and there was nothing about the house but what she could move without the least difficulty. She would place her hand on a table and tell it to travel, when it would move around the room, and out of doors, and no power save her own will could stop it. At one time, four strong men attempted to hold the table to the floor, but thev had no more effect upon it than so manv infants. She is en tirely destitute of education, but'frequent ly, when the spirits took possession of her, she would go up to her room and write in a fair, legible hand, what they dicta ted. At one time, she related to her mis tress a conversation which had occurred between her (the mistress) and. a neigh bor whom shc.visited, and even told the lady her own thoughts in reference to dis eharfTini? her tuoucuts tuat uad never been breathed to any one. All this, sh said, was communicated to her by the spirits. The family at last became afrai of her, and she was discharged. The Mirror says it has had positive assurance of the truth of the statements, direct from tho family, but adds that, after all, it mus sec to believe. Remarkable Disclosures. On Wednesday last, during the Scot Legion parade in Philadelphia, a lad, a bout fourteen years of age, was arrested by high Constable Bussell in the act o picking a lady's pocket in Third strec The movements of this boy had been watched by several officers for squares a long the route of the procession, and for one so young he exhibited most extraor dinary adroitness at his vocation. H capture lea to tue arrest or two young men and a woman, and the keeper of hotel in Front street, near Spruce, wh was also found to be implicated with the party. It appears from the boy's state mcDt, which has yet to be verified, tha he was enticed from his home iu Balti more by the persons under arrest, and regularly trained to the calling of a thie Within the last six weeks he alleged tha he had visited, in company with these men, New York, Boston, and Wilmington Del., at all of which placesthey picked numerous pockets. The parties wer committed by the Mayor in default c 81,500 bail to answer at the Court o Quarter Sessions, and the boy sent to the uouse oi iteiuge until nis incnas can d communicated with. Swearing. The absurdity and utter folly of swear ing is admirably set forth in the following anecdote ot Beezlebub and his imps. The latter went out in tho morning each to command his set qf. men, one the mur derers, another the liars, and another the swearers, &c. At evening theystopped a the mouth of a cave. The question arose among them, who commanded the meanes set of men. The subject was debated a length, but without coming to a decision Finally his Satanic Majesty was called upon to decide the matter in dispute. W hereupon he said : The murderer go something for killing, the thief for steal ing, and the liar for lying, but the swear er was the meanest of all, he served with out pay. They were his majesty's best subjects; for while they were costless their name was legion, and presented the largest division in his (Satan s) employ Making- Man. Let it be remembered that, to take food, is to make man. Eating is the pro cess by which the noblest of terrestial iaDncs is constantly repaired. All our limbs and organs have been picked up trom our plates. Ave have been served up at table many times over. Every in dividual is literally a mass of vivified viands; he is an epitome of innumerable meals; he has dined upon himself, and, in fact, paradoxical as it may appear, has a gain and again leaped down nis own throat. Liebig states that an adult pig weighing 120 pounds will consumo 5,110 pounds of potatoes in the course of a year, and 'ct at the expiration of that period its weight may not have increased a single ounce. A natent has been obtained for the preparation of maize leaf, as a substitute for tobacco. The patentees claim for their manufactured weed anti-nervous qualities, and that it is a pleasant tonic, nd therefore promotive ot good health It is said to have a pungent flavor. e The western papers notice an immense amount of travel on the lakes, railroads, and indeed all tho great thoroughfares. The Illinois Central Boad are running trains so heavy that two engines are re quired to carry them, and other lines are doing a proportionately large business. Uj3 It is worse to deal with an ass than to deal with a rogue; for a rogue will, sometimes, do right; but an ass. does not know how to do right, even when he U so disposed. The nearoat a certain man in this plaoe approached to luck was to find a ten dol lar counterfeit bill on a broken bank. He thinks that if any body else had found it, it would hayo been a gold piece. The same man once found a pocket book, and all he got from it was the itch. Down in Price. There is every prospect of a tumble in the price of potatoes. They are now selling on shipboard at Boston at seventy- five cents a bushel. Ihe warm weather is bringing the potatoes out of their holes, and it is found that the high price paid for them all winter was not so much actu al scarcity as it was speculation. They were selling at i?J.2& in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, and now they will com mand no more than 81 .25, and it is doubt ful if that price will be sustained long. Philadelphia Ledger. Americans to be Proscribed. It will be seen from the following ex tract, which wo find in 'the Portsmouth (Virginia) Globe, of the 17th of April, that the removal of all workmen at the Gosport Navy Yard, and on the public works throughout the country, who be lieve that Americans should rule Amcri ca, is recommended. Such a proposition needs no comment : 4 We gd for and advocate the removal of all who hold place under the Govern ment who belong to this midnight order We believe this now to be the general sentiment of all who do not belong to the order, and if the persons in power do not at once carry out tho wishes of those who placed them there, they ought to lose their confidence and support. TnE Becklessness of Gamblers. The Baltimore Bepublican says, wc are informed on good authority, that the fol lowing circumstances actually transpired on Saturday night in Baltimore : A card party played for various stakes until one of them, a woman, becoming, in Ucr language, 'dead broke offered to stake her infant child against a dollar upon the issue of another game. The proposition was agreed to by her oppo nent, who was a childless mothcr; and being favored by fortune or misfortune, the conclusion of the game found her the winner of the babe, a bright, healthy, male infant. The child, we learn, was delivered without a murmur to the win ner. Still they Come. The emigration from the Ohio continues unabated. The Granite State, Castle Garden, Emma Dean, Kate Cassell, Mansfield, and Tropic have arrived since Saturday noon, bring ing, at the lowest computation,fifteen hun dred people, about one half of whom are bound for Iowa, and the other half for Illinois, Kansas, and Nebraska. The Granite State alone had not less than five hundred passengers, and brought little else besides themselves and their stock and furniture. The entire from the Ohio this season emigration cannot fall souls. St. short of 15,000 to 18,000 Louis Ncics. 1 Qtli idt. It shot appears that Matt. J. Ward, who the school-master.

Big-moutiied Fish. A sea mon ster was caught near Punta Bosa, on the Florida coast, on the 23d of March, which had a mouth three and a half feet lon" and wide enough to swallow a canoe. Ihe space between its eyes measured four leet tour inches, its length of body nine teen feet, and breadth, nineteen feet, and weighed J,uuu pounds. A Community of Snakes.

It seems that the undisguised attempt! to enroll the "Worth Legion," and to bo used against Cuba in case of an outbreak, is also seconded in Albany. According; to the Argus, a number ot Isew.iorK vol unteers, repeating the precedent to which' me mexican war gave rise, appneu icr Gov. Seymour to grant informal commis sions to the officers of two regiments, to' be called the Worth Legion, to serve in case war should bo declared against Spain. Gov. Seymour declined their ap plication. Notwithstanding this rebuff, the same parties, both here and in Al bany, are engaged in enlisting men to serve against a country with which we are now at peace. Yesterday the Amer ican "flag was flying from the Cooper House, with a label bearing tms inscription at tached to it : "War with Spain. Wanted, one thousand men for the Worth Legion." A public meeting of the persons engaged in this unlawful business was announced to take place in the Park yesterday af noou.
