THTTRSDAY7aTJGUST 23, 1855.
A number of the Irishmen, en
gaged at the "Forgo Cut," on the D.
L. and W. Railroad, near this place, met
at the liquor shanty of Peter Brown,
Htuatcd at the lower end of town, yester
day, and thero enacted some of the most
disgraceful scenes, the citizens of that part
of the town have been forced to witness
for a long time, viz : divesting themselves
of their clothing and fighting in a state
of nakeducss. This kind of proceeding
was kept up till near 9 o'clock last eve
ning, when Brown, the owner of the shan
ty, threatened a number of the citizens,
standing on the pavement, directly oppo
site, with some act of violence. Brown
then advanced to the opposite side of the
htreet, when he was arrested and taken
before Esquire Dutot, for a hearing. The
Justice found him in such a state of intox
ication, that ho did not deem it advisable
to give him a hearing, and oo mm it ted him
to jail.
Shortly after Brown was placed in the
bauds of the officers, an attack was made
upon the Shanty, the whisky barrels were
tumbled into the street, the beads broken
in, liquor set on fire, and the Shanty
razed.
This is rather a summarily way of aba
ting a nuisance, but we presume that those
who participated in this affair, are willing
to abide the consequence.
Fire in Milford.
Pimmick's Hotel, in Milford, was de
stroyed by fire on Monday last. The
furniture, &c, belonging to the building,
was nearly all saved. Mr. D. had an in
surance on the building, in the Susses In
surance Company.
A Poor Speculation.
A farmer in Lehigh county, who has
kept a large stack of hay for five years,
in hopes of realizing a heavy profit, on
examining it a few days since, found it to
be converted into one heap of manure,
probably worth SI 5, whereas, several
years ago, it would have rcadilj' brought
ten times that amount.
Census of Providence.
The census of the city of Providence,
Rhode Island, has just been completed,
from which it appears that the whole num

IoO, whilst in 1645 the population was
only 34,

Mail Bobbery. Arthur Hughes,

fore Justice Snyder, of Harrisburg, on
Wednesday accusing Henry Giant latelv
employed on Captain Murphy's Packet
Boat running from the Junction to Mun-
cy, Lycoming county, with robbing the
Fnited States Mail, whereupon the Jus

Young, constable, who brought the ac-

In North China the neoDle smoke arse

Several persons have recently bled to
death from the extraction of teeth. Gun
powder sprinkled on lint and laid in the
cavity of the gum, will stop the bleeding.
Canal Commissioner.
The Crawford Journal nominates Gov.
Reeder as a candidate for Canal Com
missioner. ITT'Many of tho Free State emigrants
are said to be leaving Kansas, being dis
couraged in consequence of the outrages of
the MisBouri'aoB, and the refusal of gov
ernmental protection.
Extraordinary Decline in the Value of
Hay.
One week since, the article of hay com
manded in the New York market 834 per
ton. Yesterday it was offered in our own
market, and the sales were made at 812
per ton. Thus in one week, there has
been a decline of nearly sixty-six per cent.
As a matter of course the article sold last
week was old hay, while that now offer
ing is the new crop. Tho decline is ex
plained and it gives the best assurance
that the crop of this season is munifieeut.
Farmers, who have this year sown but
the same area of ground, are rewarded
with two-thirds larger returns than they
were last season. It is true that the pro
tracted rains did damage the out stand
ing crops to some extent, but the loss sus
tained is quite immaterial when the ex
cess of erowth is taken into account. In
Ulster county, we hear of one farmer
whose entice crop was so seriously dam
aged that ho was compelled to turn it in
to his barn yard; still, such instances are
isolated ones. Nature was never more
bountiful than in the present season.
jUbany Argus, August 10
More Lynching- in Wisconsin.
Milwaukie, August S. A special Court
was held yesterday, at "West Bend, for the
trial of Geo. Debar, for the murder, a few
days since, of the Meyer family. Ih
jury rendered a verdict of guilty of raur
der in the first degree. Afterwards,
while ho was being conveyed back to jail
guarded by tho military, tho mob made
a rush upon him, and the military giviug
way, the prisoner was felled to the ground
by a stone. Tho mob then fell upon him,
beating and mangling him in a horrible
manner. They then tied a rone about
his legs, and after dragging him a con
siderable distance thro' tho streets hung
him to a tree with his head dowuwards."
An old gentleman, in New York city
lately experienced a severe sickness, dur
ing which he exhibited a strange sort of
monomania. One day he pretended that
he was dead, and requested that they
should lay him out with due propriety,
which not being done, he stormed awa
at his attendants, and threatened to haunt
them nightly. He thus continued to act
for several days, telling them it was abom
inable to keep him above ground for such
a length of time, and that he was fast mor
tifying. A few nights ago, while no one
was in the room, lie arose from bed, and
jumped from the 2nd story window, and
happened to strike in such a manner that
ho was not much hurt. Ho was deter
mined to go and bury himself. Strange
ly enough, the fall perfectly cured him of
tho belief that he was dead, and he is
nearly reoovered.
Our National Debt.
While we are boasting of our surplus
of twenty-two millions in the Treasury,
and our small debt of fifty millions, it is
well enough to note the fact that the a
mount of claims already prepared for the
Court in Washington is over three hun
dred millions, exclusive of the French Spo
liation bill, which claims five millions.
We opine that many claims will be thrown
out by the Court, which was established,
not for the purpose of spending the pub
lic money by satisfying imaginary claims,
but merely as an expeditious vehicle for
the settlement of disputed accounts.
Grounds for a Divorce.
Ladies must beware of sitting in gen
tleman's laps and kissing them, in the ab
sence of their husbands, for the Supreme
Court (N. -Y.) has grauted a divorce in
the case of Frederick Loerz, against his
wife Catharine, tho evidence showing that
he was a seafaring man, and that during
his absence at sea Mrs. Loerz was fre
quently visited by one nenry Schmidt,
and on one occasion sho was seen sitting
in his lap, and as he was going away she
accompanied him to the door, where he
kissed her and went off.
Berks and Lancaster.
The census of 1850 shews that Lancas
ter county farmers produce annually 1,
306,111 bushels of wheat, and those of
Old Berks, only 577,606. Lancaster
county is one of the Agricultural wonders
of the world. Lancaster contains 950
square miles ; Berks 920 ; the two coun
ties produce about the same quantity of
wheat in proportion to the acres cultiva
ted. Chester county produces 547,498 j
Montgomery 309,225.
. Railroad Iron, it is stated, has advanced
to the enormous price of 62 per ton in
the JNew lork market, the renewed de
mand being greater than the supply. The

of 7 15s. there on shipboard, with large
orders under execution.
A convention of husbands is to be called
to meet at Syracuse, to take some meas

They say since they have to support the

ing but boys, in future, is to come before
the Convention. This is to be oalled the
Husband's Rights Party.
Walcrford Dispatch.
Applications will be made to the next
Legislature for the incorporation of seven

The most awkward thinir iu the world

Origin of Yellow Fever.
Some of tho New Orleans papers as
sert that the experience of the present
season has conclusively established the
fact that yellow fever is 'a disease ot in
digenous character and not to be preven
ted by the most stringent system of non
intercourse with infected places.' This is
tho language of the New Orleans Bee.
Tho same paper notices particularly each
individual case which occurred at the first
manifestation of the disease, and concludes
as follows :
"Thisbriefstatomcntiseloqucntindeed.
Hero we have a dozen cases, most of them
fatal; tho very earliest noticed in the city,
received in that great thermometer ot pub
lie health, the Charity Hospital. Not one
of them had come from an infected port;
not one was ascertained to have had any
distinct connexion with the shipping; not
ouo was a seafaring man. Some were
employed on steamboats in the rivers,
others were mechanics working in the
heart of tho city; some had been three
weeks, others six months in our city;some
lived iu the centre, others at the extremi
ties of the town; all were unacclimated,
nearly all foreigners, and none had pass
ed a sinclo summer in New Orleans. If
those who preach the doctrine of the im
portation of yellow fever cau find in these
cases a single crutch to support them they
must bo more ingenious than the philoso
pher who extracted sunbeams from cu
cumbers."
Similar proof is adduced by the New
Urlcans JSullctin. Ihe existing quaran
tine law was passed by the Louisiana Leg-
iglature at its last session, with a view to
ascertaining whether the disease be im-
ported or of a local character; and t
?Lriseent providers of this law have been
rigidly enforced since the Sret of June
against all vessels going to New Orleans
from places affected witii yellow fever.
The Bulletin says :
"It may with confidence be asserted
that no foul vessel from any infected dis
trict has been suffered to approach the
city and scatter the seeds of pestilence a
mong our resident population. In con
sequence of the rigid scrutiny that has
been observed by the officers of the Board
of Health the embargo upon foreign im
portations of yellow fever has been equiv
alent to a complete prohibition, and the
fever we have is strictly and undeniably
of domestic production."
The Bulletin further adduces, in proof
of this conclusion, the results of the in
vestigations made this season at the Char
ity Hospital, whither the cases of yellow
fever aro conveyed. These show that, up
to the 25th of June, all the cases of yel
low fever received at the hospital were
persons who did not come from infected
parts, and who had not been in contract
with the shipping from such places. They
were nearly all unacclimated Germans
and Irish. Dr. Fenner, in an article
published in the New Orleans Medical
News and Hospital Gazette, maintains
that the epidemic fevers of the place
gradually run into yellow fever,, and that
the latter is only one of the types of en
demic fever common to the region, and
not a separate, distinct, and specific di
sease. He gives statistics to show that in
the summer and autumnal months the
several types of fever get so confounded
that tney become one and the same di
sease. There are, nevertheless, at New Or
leans, as well as elsewhere, many intelli
gent persons who adhere to the importa
tion theory.
Matrimonial Infidelity.
A somewhat singular case came up at
the rolice-Office in Rochester, N. Y., a
few days ago. A man about 45 years
of age, named Patten, was brought up,
charged with deserting bis family, his
wife appearing as the complainant. The
family consisted of the wife and three
children, one an infant.
The wife stated that Patten had left her
without support, and was cohabiting with
another femalo, somewhat her junior.
Patten did not deny that he had ceased
to live with his wife, and had taken to his
bosom another woman; but he attempted
to show that his conduct had been proper.
He then went on to state that many years
ago, when first married, he and his wife
lived together in harmony, because their
views on spiritual matters coincided. He
said when the Second Advent doctrine
which the vulgar called Millerism was
the faith of the Savior, Iq later vcsr 6PC0tabl6 PetS0DS ?artioiPated tbc8e Jo1y datios of hisffioe, and who goes wil

he b ecame convinced, that the seventh in
stead of the first day of the week was the
babbath, and on this point his wife har
monized, and all went on smoothly.
About a year ago a question came up as
to the resurrection, and on this point they
could not agree. Ho concluded, after
closely consulting his Bible, that the res
urrection was only a spiritual one. His
wife insisted that the body was to be
raised also. Here there was an irrecon
cileable difference, and one that Patten
thought was sufficient to lead to a separ
ation. He said that he could not live
with a young woman who did not har-
1 I t .
uiomzo witu mm in nis views on spiritual
matters, and had therefore, forsaken his
wife, and found a female who thought as
he did on this point.
Here the wife, who had listened to his
statement very patiently, interrupted him
oy saying that she thought the newlv
found female agreed with him quito as
wen on carnal as on spiritual matters.
Patten said that could not be shown bv
evidence, and went on with his narrative,
concluding by asserting that thero must
....
be harmony on spiritual things between
man and wife, to enable them to live to
gether. He said he would not live with
a woman who did not think as he did on
religious questions.

children, and threatened him with an

INDIGNITIES TO A METHODIST I'KEAUII-
11. BANISHMENT FROM THE STATE.
I wish to present to the public, through
the columns of the democrat, a plain
statement of an affair which recently took
place in Cass county Missouri. In the
providence of God, and the arrangement
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, I was
called to preach the gospel in Cass coun-
ty, Missouri, in the llarrisonviiio circuit.
I endeavored to discharge my duty as a
Christian minister, to the best of my abil
ity, teaching nothing but those truths
which make wise unto salvation, and hav
ing nothing to do with any of the vexing
questions of the day.
I had labored thus on tho above cir
cuit for a period of seven months, and up
toabout three weeks ago, the blessings of
God attending my labors, and nothing
occurring to mar the peace and harmony
beeween mo and my people. About the
time named an article appeared in the
Cass county Gazette, written by one Jno.
A. Tuggle, a member of tho Methodist
Episcopal Church. South, in which there
was an attempt to excite public opposi
tion against me, by alleging that 1 ha
said certain thinks to him, in private con
versation, respecting tho decision of the
question of slavery or no slavery in Kan
sas, ana styling me a rsoriucm idou
1 1 TL. .1 ft t 1
tionist.
About a week after the appearance of
this article, two negroes attemptod to es
cape from Harrisonville, ond a report was
immediately circulated that I together
with other residents of tho town and coun
ty, had instigated them to make tho at
tempt than which nothing could bo more
r.
Ise, as I had not even once BDoken to
single negro whilo resident iu Cnsg coun
ty; and the other persons were citizens of
long standing, whose characters were a
bove suspicion, ono of whom had been a
resident in the State forty-seven years.
On Thursday, July 26, whilo peacea
bly pursuing my way along the public
road, I was overtaken by two men one
of them known as Colonel Worley who
addressed me somo impudent questions
respecting where I was going, &c; and
finally informed me that I had been ac
cused of inciting slaves to escape, and of
preaching abolition doctrine, and that I
must return with them to Harrisonville
and have the charges investigated. This
conversation they interlarded with the
most profane oaths that could fall from
mortal lips. I protested against their
right thus to stop me on the publio high
way, when the aforenamed Colonel Wor
ley leaped from his horse, and began fum
bling about his person, as if feeling for a
pistol.
After somo further parley I informed
them that, inasmuch as I was entirely in
nocent of the charges alleged, and did
not fear a fair investigation, I would ac
company them to Harrisonville for that
purpose. Just as wo tnrned to go back,
sixteen more men, mounted, made their
appearance. We stopped at a cabin in
the prairie for supper, where the bottle
was freely passed, and I received the
most insulting treatment, being asked to
drink, and mado the subject of obscene
jests, and horrid oaths.
Wo reached Harrisonville about twelve
o'clock at night, and I was taken to a ho
tel, had a guard of three men placed over
me during the night, as if I bad been the
greatest criminal. Next morning, I was
waited upon by three men, who informed
me they were appointed a committee to
search my effects, in order to ascertain if
I bad any abolition documents. This
committee was composed of a Rev. Mr.
Allen, baptist preacher, Mr. Bailey, and
the proprietor of the hotel where I was
eonfined. They searched everything I
had, examined my Bible and hymn book,
and read my private letters carefullyjbut
could find nothing to substantiate their
charges.
While this examination was in progress,
a meeting was called at the Court House,
and I could hear some person deliver
what seemed to be a very inflammatory
speech. After a while, a committee com
posed of a Dr. Hansbraugh, Colonel Wor
ley, and Rev. Mr. Allen, came to inform
me that I was wanted at the Court House.
I accompanied them, and found about
two hundred men, the most of whom were
of a low class, for I will do that commun
ity tho justice to say that very few re
chairman of the meeting.
After a call to order, Dr. Ilansbraugl
rose and said that I had been accused of
aiding some negroes in running off, and
had been preaching abolition doctrines
and circulating abolition documents, and
that it had been resolved as tho sense of
that meeting that I should leave the State
in seven days.
I replied briefly that I protested against
their entire proceedings; that with a fair
investigation I could prove all their
charges false, and challenced them to
such investigation; that if I had done any
a1 i il Tl 11 i m
tumg contrary to law l now myseii a
menablo to it, and was willing to suffer
its penalities to the full. I was told by
one of the forraest in the matter, that the
law was not strict enough, and they in
tended to take it m their own bands, and
i t i T ! 1 . .1
cnat li j. am not leave tno consequences
would bo upon my own head.
This, sir, is but a brief statement of the
manner in whioh I have been treated on
American soil by persons oallins them
selves American citizens. How long
these things aro to continue I cannot tell,
but I think it is high time that something
was done to put a stop to them. The
fair fame of Missouri is thus disgraced by
Bands of outlaws for certainly men thus
acting can bo termed nothing else and
as yet no enort has been mado by the of
ficers of the law. or the Executive of the
State, to relieve her from tho slain.
What a contrast do suoh proceodintrs
form to the genuine of our institutions
and the spirit of '76. Can this be called
a land of liberty if suoh a state of affairs
is allowed to continue? I, eir, am a
Southern man by birth, and' caine hore
from a Southern city; but if Southern in
stitutions are to be protected by eucb
men as havo maltreated me, i thinn 1
shall seek some spot where at least my
dearest rights shall be free from lawless
invasions.
Let the citizens of Missouri think up
on the circumstance which I have endeav
ored dispassionately to describe one on
ly of several similar ones which have re
cently occurred and let them decide
what they will do. Whether they will
let these fire-eating politicians ride over
them rough shod any longer, disgrace the
State, and bring contemptupon themselves
and their children.
Hoping that wise and prudent councils
may obtain, I am yours, &c,

The Fever at Norfolk.
Ministers Deserting their Flocks. The
Flight of Christians, $-c.
The Norfolk Argus of Saturday thus
alludes to the flight of the citizens of that
place :
So general and precipitate a flight as
that which has recently taken place here,
we never expected to witness. The
thought of disease and sudden death, the
knowledge of an existing pestilence, we
know are appalling to sinful man, and an
instinctive love of health and life natural
ly hurries him away beyond the limits of
the destroying agent, to a purer atmos
phere and a healthier clime. The strong
man in his prime dreads the presence of
an air that poisons the life-blood and kills
in a day; and even the sincere Christian
feels solemn when he reflects upon so sad
a visitation from the great Being in whom
he trusts and whom he loves. But should
Christians fly, too, from the danger, at the
very time when their presence is most re-
quired: wnen tneir woraa oi uuvibc, iu
struction and comfort are so necessary?
when nursing and watching are so much
needed? 'I was sick, and ye visited me
not.'
Surely if there ever was a time when
the true disciples of Christ should bo ac
tive and in the line of their duty in Norfolk,
this is the time; for varily, 'the pestilence
walketh in darkness and the destruction
wasteth at noonday.' Our friends, neigh
bors and acquaintances are prostrated by
disease burning with fever and tortured
with pains; and how important tho sooth
ing words of the Christian at such a time!
But amoncr the most panic-struck, the
most alarmed, tho most eager to hasten
away, there were hundreds of professors;
and many indeed who were wont, in days
of healthfullness, in times of happiness,
peace and prosperity, to make the loud
est profession, to assume the most grave
and religious aspect, and to be most ready
and forward to give words of reproof for
delinquency, and apparently unchristian,
conduct. Do not some show, now", that
they have a beam in their eye? There is
a deep meaning in this conduct.
Of the four or five members of the
clergy who have hurried off, it may not
become us to speak now. They know
their duty, perhaps this is not the time
to indulge in vituperation; for although
the disease is not as bad as reported, God's
chastening band is upon us. Our stores
arc nearly all closed; our streets are de
serted; the dead and the dying are around
us; excepting the rattle of the physician's
coach, hearses and hospital wagons, the
silence in our streets is often absolutely
oppressive. The frantic will of the wid
ow falls dolefully on the ear; the piteous
cry of the orphan rings out shrilly and
dies away on the night wind; friends are
parting, perchance till the judgment; and
the lamentations of the mother is heard,
like 'Rachel,, weeping for her children,
and refusing to be comforted because they
are not.'
It is indeed a sad and gloomy time in
our, loved and dovoted city;. and how much
tho calamitous visitation is increased in
its intensity, by the inconsiderate flight
and absence of religious friend,, and the
deprivation of their consolatory instruc
tions and prayers in the room where death
claims and seizes bis victims, we leave to
the imagination of the panic-stricken
Christian professors, who have pought a
moro salubrious climate and a less dang
erous location.
Wo heard ono of our ministers say, who
has not proved recreant to tho high and
that he ioliuu a woman wuose husband

enc but a young sister to attend him,dur
ing the slow and sad hours of a long eight
of pain and sorrow
But some noble souls and great hearts
aro left, and thoir recompense will be
great. They shrink not from their duty.
Thoy breathe still the deadly breath of
the pestilence; they pray for the siok and
tho dying, ann whisper sweet words of
faith and consolution in the ears of the
sufferers, whoso thanks and prayers and
blessings,, will be romembered in time and
eternity; and if the faithful soldier of the
Cross falls while doing his duty, whon
most needed, h efalls gloriously, and his
reward will be unspeakable and eternal.

They are, moreover, bo conflicting that a

every facility was afforded them to vote,
they manifested their riotous inclinations
