" JOHN N. STOKES.
Death of Horace Mann.
The decease of lhi great and good man,
Kill cast a gloom over the whole country,
as the sad intelligence speeds its way on
ward. It is generally conceded thnt this
afiliction will be the death blow to Anti-
och College; yet' the gifted but departed
'President seemed in bis lapt hours to re
tain that sagacity, foresight and judgment
which at all times characterized him while
in active life. This was indicated by his
mpgefting the Rev. Dr. Bellows of New
York one of the ablest men in the coun
try, a; his uccc?Eor.
Wc learn that his disease was of a ty
phoid nature.

Elections.
In 'Kentucky four opposition members
of Congress and Gvc Locos are elected;
one doubtful. In Teunessee the opposi
tion gaiu three members of CongrcfS.
For Governor 2fi counties show an appo
rtion gain of 2200 votes. In North Car
olina the opposition gain a member of
Congros by 56 majority.
Hind Your own Business.
In this old saying there is so much
good sense that wo see it verified every
dy. There is more more profound
philosophy. AVe generally see people
either succeed or fail, just as they mind
their own business. 15y doing this every
person will certainly find, that ho has
enough to attcud to, and if he has any
leisure, can employ it in advising his
friends' to buy their clothing at Pylc's
JOa-ton Hall of Fashion, opposite the old
Kaston IBank.

FOR Til E JKFKKRSONIAN.
Icwas pleased to loam ry an advertise
ment in your paper that a Female Semi
nary will ooon be established in this place.
This has long been needed, aa parents
wi hing to give their daughters a proper
education, have been compelled to send
them abroad, and there arc many whose
iiHi.n:i will not allow this. And now that
the privilege is offered to them at their
own door.-', and upon such moderate terms,
we lope. and trust that all will avail them-.-elves
of it. Strangers have often re
marked upon the number of pretty faces
iuour town, and let us endeavor to make it
nko renowned far the general intelligence
of those possessing them. But lot us not
merely icish fucccss to the enterprise, but
let every one fo something to actually aid
it, Parenti i-hould not delay till the sec
ond session but send their daughters at
the commencement of the first. If this
enterprise should fail, it may be years
befdie another is attempted. The teach
ers are well known in our community as
being in every rct-pect qualified for the
work, aud if wc citizens, all do our duty
wc shall soon have one of the best Fe
male Seminaries in the State. D.

FOR THE JEFFLRSONIAN.
If wc trace the march of mind from the
earliest ages when fair science unveiled
herself to ancient Greece and' gave letters
to the world, down to this our day, in no
century do wo find its steps so gigantic,
confering blessings so multitudinous upon
mankind, as in this our nineteenth centu
ry. Now invcutivo genius is tiptoe; and
improvement ever on the alert. Yapor
like that which years ago with freedom
rose from Esau's pottage and wasted its
fragrance on the desert air, is now the
powerful motive power which we employ
in commerce, manufacture and travel.
That free and speedy clement which has
regarded neither space nor scope has be
come the humble servint of this inventive
nrc. and is destined to become the news
boy of the world. Wo plainly behold
progress stamped upon the age in which
we live; and it is truly gratifying to us to
behold such a .mighty phalanx of giant
American minds engaged in the great
work of human progress and improve
ment. While the crumbling monarchies
and despotisms of theold world arc study
ing and improving tho science of human
butchcry.and are now engaged in the cruel
arts of war: our citizens ore cultivating &
enjoying the sweets of peace and the bles
sings of civil and religious liberty. While
the aspiring nnd ambitious monarchs of
Europe are spreading ruin, desolation
and death through their realms; causing
old mother earth to drink the blood of
thousauds of God a images, may our coun
try stand ever united having or knowing
no fear but the fear of God.possessing love
for him, love for each other and love for
the race; which shall enable lis by the
power and influence of truth to conquer
the world and bring it under peaceful
Republican sway. This important mis
sion is ours the great work is to be ac
complished not by the preaching of dema
gogues and publicans, but by the good ex
ample ot tho masses of the American peo
ple. The principles of civil liberty which
were conceived by ancient Greece & which
lay in embryo for centuries through the
dark ages, and which through the perilous
travails of our fathers, received birth, de
mands of us protection, not by force of
arms but by the intelligence of the masses.
When I contemplate the ultimate destiny
of this our offspring and charge, which like
the religion of the blessed Saviour is des
tined to fill the whole earth, I rejoice in
view ef the honors of our charge and still
tremble in view of its responsibilities.
Wc are required to solve on the black
board of timo the iuotitnportaut problem
ever submitted to the world.
Arc mankind capable oj self Govern
mcnll This like all strictly mathemati
cal probleniE requires care and accuracy.
I honestly believe that it will never find
an affirmative answer by any nation un
less it is stated and figured in about this
style. If we educate the masses and take
the blessed word of inspiration for the
man of our counsel as our fathers did,
if we delight to honor man who honor
God as did Washington, examine isues
and think for ourselves aa we have a. right
to do regarding the ability rather than
the availability of our rules with Moral
ity, Intelligence and Union for our .motto,
and miud your butiness as the watchword,
we shall stand unshakeu by discordant
elements, for ages to the world a inonu
meut on the tablet of which will be en
graven in letters which may bo read by
all men: Mankind arc capable of' self
Government,
The American Eagle is destined to rev
olutionize the world: already are her pin
ions felt in stirring up the nations. Amer
ican energy and enterprise is (through a
commerce that whitens every sea) being
felt and witnessed by every nation. The
march of Empire, howevor, at this time
is westward; ere long the extreme Pacific
vale will resound with agricultural and
mechauical life and activity.
The lofty church spire pointing to heav
en will indicate that God is worshiped
ther; the buy cities aud thriving villa
ges will declare that tho bardy pioneer
has fiually found aud improved the "Great
Wert."
Iu conclusion, 1 would ask; arc we will
ing to sustain and by our conduct uphold
this our great future nationality ! Boys
what say you with regard to this subject?
You will toon be required to fill the pla
ces that jour futhers now occupy, to cul
tivate these broad and fertile prairies and
subdue these native forests which your
fathers had not time and strength to de
velop. You will be required to direct
the ship of state and continuo the solu
tion of this important problem on which
hangs the future destiny, the peace, hap
piness and prosperity of the world. Let
perseverance be your motto, aud nrosress
your watchword in every good work; then
jou will be fully qunlined lor the position
you are to occupy a blessing to t(ie
world and an honor to your country.

Eight Children at a Birth.
Cor. of The N. Y. Tribune.
Johnson, Trumbull County, O., Aug 4.
On the 2d of August Mrs. Timothy
Bradly gave birth to eight children
three boys and five girls. They are all
living, and arc healthy, but quite small.
Mr. B.'s family is increasing fast. lie
was married six years ago to Eunice
Mowery, who weighed 273 pounds on the
day of their marriage. She has given
birth to two pair of twins, and now eight
more, making twelve children in six rears.
It seems strange-, but nevertheless is true,
Mrs. B. was a twin of three, her mother
and father both being twins, aud her
grandmother the mother of five pair of
twins. Mrs. B. has named her boys af
ter noted and distinguished men: One
after the Hon. Joshua R. Giddiogs, who
has given her a splended medal; one af
ter the Rev. Hon. Elijah Champlin, who
gave her a deed of 50 acres of laud, and
the other after James Johnson, esq., who
gave her a cow. Mr. Bradley says it is
profitable to have twins, as the neighbor's
have clothed the others ever since they
were born. Mr. B. is a poor, industri
ous laborer, but says he will not part
with any of his children while he is able
to work.
Death of Hon. Horace Mann.
Ilorace Mann, President of Antioch
College and ex-Governor of Massachus
etts, died at Yellow Springs, Ohio, on
Tuesday tho 2d inf-t. Iu his death one
of the purest, best, and ablest men of the
country has passed away.
Imporant if True.
Dr. Bisscll, ono of the quarantine phy
sicians at Statan Island, is of tho opinion
"if a person's hair ho washed he is not
liable to diecaso." The Norfolk Herald
supports the opinion. "So important a
result' says that paper, "from so simple
a cause may seem incredible to many, but
not to us. Thero h not a more effectual
preventive of disease than the immersion
of the head.in cold water the year round."
A notorious ruffian, known in south
western Arkansas as "Jack Cade," was
recently killed by a woman whose hus
band he had shot. The widow challen
ged him to fight a duel, and as the ruffian
declined, she attaoked him with a revol
ver aud lodged three balls in his body,
one of which passed through his heart.

The Old Easton Bridge.
The Trenton Gazette furnishes us-witb
somo interesting reminiscences of the
Bridge over the Delaware at Easton.
This bridge was completed in 1807, at ji
total cot of S61 ,854,67. It was erected
uudcr the supervision -of Cjrus Palmer,
the same architect who erected the perma
nent bridge ovor tho Schuylkill, at Mar
ket st Philadelphia. Its construction is
a combination of the arch and truss prin
ciple, it is about six hundred feet in length
between the abutments, and consists of
three arches, nearly two hundred feet
span each. With tho exception of the
Trenton bridge, this at Easton was the
wily bridge that withstood .the great
freshct of 1841. ;Q'hc bridge. although
not entirely completed until 1807,. was
opened for travel 1500. The toll3 for the
six years-following its completion, were
devoted: to the payment of a debt of
nearly $20,000 incurred for itn construc
tion. This was cleared off, and the
bridge now pays a dividend of twenty
four per ceut. annually, aud has besides
a contingent fund in reserve sufficient to
rebuild tho bridge whenever it may be
necessary.
Roaches.
As these pests are quite numerous at
this season of the year, housekeepers will
doubtless be induced to try the following
plan for getting rid of them.'
These vermin arc easily destroyed sim
ply by cutting up green cucumbers at
iiiht, and placing them wueje roaches
commit depredations. What is cut oft
from tho cucumbers in preparing them
for the table, answers the purpose as well,
and three applications will de-troy all
the roaches in the house. Remove the
parings in the morning and renew them
at night.
Settlement of Dacotah Teiritory
This new Territory is now opeu for
settlement, although the time allowed the
Iudiaus iu which to remove to their Ke
servation has not yet expired. But Agent
Red Geld is now in tbe Territory, having
recently taken up a large amount of an
nuity goods for the Yanktons. The In
dians have all left Strike the lltes and
Smutty Bear's camps which were the
principal points held by them and have
ionc to. their Reservation.
. There is uot the least danger of being
annoyed by the savages, and as a con
sequence quite a number of persons have
left this place within the last few day,
with the intention of making claims in the
Territory. We arc informed that there
is quite a settlement in the vicinity of
btrike-the Rees late camp, at which point
it is proposed to lay out a town. Ihert-
is a largo amount of beautiful farming
laud in Dacotah, and we doubt not much
of it will be taken up during the next
year .by hardy pioneers, as from all quar
ters we hear of parties forming for the new
Territory. The greatest drawback to
the country is a scarcity of tiajber; but
it has been demonctratcd that a much
less amount of timber than is at frst sup
posed to be necessary can be got along
with. A genial and productive soil and
healthy climate go far in outweighing tbe
mauy little inconveniences and wants met
with in a new prairie country.
We would say, to all those who have
their eyes directed towards Dacotah, to
iet ready and start. You will meet with
no difficulties. Since the arrival of the
Agrut with goods, the Indians have sig
nified their willingness that the whites
should go in nnd occupy their old homes.
So come on; start for Sioux City from
which point you can make for any locali
ty do-dred iu the new Territory, and near
which place are two good ferries across
tho Big Sioux River, tbe dividing line
between Iowa and Dacotah.
The Golden Eever.
The gold excitement on the Isthmus,
resulting fiom the discovery of images in
the Iudiau huacas, was on the increase at
last accounts. A letter from the "dig
gings" says :
"One of tho natives is said to have gone
stark mad at the sudden increase, and
one very ancient gentleman of color has
taken out a lump, $10,000 worth at one
fell swoop." These "huacas" extend o
ver a wide area, are regularly and com
pactly arranged, and thousands upon
thousands remaiu to he uncovered. The
dead Indians were buried in a sitting po
sition, with all their yellow drops inclosed
with them for company, and almost eve
ry "huaca" is .supposed to contain more
or less gold. Besides it is conceived that
in this locality Chiriqui many rich
mines, now lost, will be rediscovered, the
same from whenoe tho immense wealth of
those Iudiaus was first obtained. A num
ber of old miners have gono for the pur
pose of prospecting for tho virgin gold."
. Amoug tho stories told is one that a
hat had been found made of fino gold,
and. also a "golden woman." That there
is great exageration in all accounts may
be set down as almost certain. The Chir
iqui Real Estate Company, chartered by
the State of Maryland, the stock of which
is said to ho principally owned in Balti
more, hold a large grant of land in the
district where theso treasure-holding
graves are situated.
The Calf with three legs.
On last Friday we called at Mr. Reu
ben Iluoseckers, Lchighton, to see that
three legged calf mentioned in tho Gn
zette a few weeks ago. It is really a cu
rio'ity, having only one leg in front and
two behind, but in every other respect it
is perfect, fat, healthy nnd remarkably
lively, and now nearly 3 months old. Mr.
Ilunscekcr generally keeps him (he is a
ho) iu a stable, aud to give as fair n
chance to see him, ho let his calfship out
in. the barn yard, whero ho commenced
running, jumping, kicking and suoh feats,
as if he fully appreciated tho great im
portance of that ono leg in front. 1 ndoed
wo dou t think wc ever saw a calf so full
of life and vigor as this one.
Mr. ilunsccker intends to give tho good
people of Carbon County a chance to fceo
tho animal at tho next County Pair,

The introduction of the English man-of-
war is no doubt cmblematicial of that
nation's being obliged to relinquish its
claims to the territory.
Another Commercial Pressure.
It is thought, by moneyed men, that
the sudden peace in Europe, together
with tho vast importations and the mis-
Tovernment of our banking institution",
will probably result in a state of general
perturbation, which, unless it is managed
with great skill and delicacy, will lead to
another revulsion, which may shake the
commercial and financial affairs of the
whole country, and ruin a few rotten con
cerns. Natural Curiosity.
A calf of very singular formation was
extracted from a cow belonging to William
Siue, of Pluuiftead, on Friday evening
last. It was found to be divided into two
parts at the front nnd rear, having two
complete heads as far back a3 the shoul
ders, four fore legs and feet, but one body
as far as the loins, where it was again di
vided into two parts, having two complete
sets of hiod legs and quarters. 1 bus it
was compose of two completo calves, with
but one body. There was but one heart,
and it is said that no breathing apparat
us could bo found. I was takeu from the
cow with much difficulty, and even if life
existed at the beginning of the operatiou,
it was neces-arily destroyed in the pro
cess of delivery.
An Egg Cooked in the Sun.
The thermometer ranged as high as 90
deg. in the shade during a part of yester
day. How high it was in the t-un can not
say, but we atean egg which had been cook
ed "hard'' in the sun. bald egg was pla

ra, N. Y., has .often missed money and
suspected thieves. Recently he sold out
to M. Brown, who on examining the draw
er, found that the money (notec) had been
pulled out of the drawer and eaten up
by rat's. He succeeded, however, after a
considerable expenditure of ingenuity, in
dustry aud. paste, in rotoriug about five
dollars worth of the bills into the shape

dollars. Mr. Brown has taken measure.
to discontinue the drain of his fuuds in
that direction.
The Kansas Constitutional Convention
has adjourned, after adopting the instru
ment, which is the fruit of its labors, by
a vote of 34to IS, every Democrat voting
Nay. The Coiiititution is thoroughly
Anti-Slavery, but the right of suffrage
is not bestowed upon negros. A compe
tition between Lawrence and Topeka,
each desiring to be the capital of the
State, and resorting to some questionable
expedients to advance its wih, ended iu
the selection of the latter temporarily.
Tho 'Democracy' will probably do their
bc.-t to defeat tho Constitution before the
people.
'
Female Suffrage in Kansas.
In the Constitution 1 eing formed for
Kansas, women are allowed to vote in
school matters. They may voto for
school officers, school taxes, and every
thing pertaining to tho organization of
tho Common Schools, equally with men.
Conferring this much of the elective fran
chise upon females is intended as an
experiment. We believe that females are
allowed to vote-in school matters in Can
ada aud Louisiana.
Prentice of tho Louisvilo Journal is
particularly sharp on at-body he takes a
uotion to "rako down." Here is his sub
lime picture of Beunett, of the New York
Herald :
"Bennett's portrait is terrific. Such a
thing ought never to be printed or da-gui-rreot;
pod. It ought to be considered
a penal offence to make anything so re
volting to all our ideas of propriety. No
man has a right to monopolize so much
ugliuCfS. If Bennett's ugliness could be
di-itributed over a tbousaud faces, it would
in h ko each of them intensely, hatefully
ugly He ought not to bo permitted to
go into tho street without a blanket over
hii awfull frontispiece. No wonder so
many children in New York die of con
vulsions, since Bennett is permitted to
walk Abroad with uncovered face 1"
The New-York correspondent of The
Charleston Mercury says:
"Shortly after Sickles was acquitted,
several wealthy political friends of his in
tbU city started a subscription for a fund
to pay his traveling expenses in Europe
until the commencement of tho next Con
gressional session, by which time it was
hoped that tho unpleasant notoriety at
taching to tho man would huvo greatly
subsided, and that tho adventures of
travel would havo repaired his shattered
health and spirits. Tho fund was to have
beon 812,000, und $3,000 were subscribed,
nuJ tho subscription was still going on,
I understand, when the news of Sickles's
reconciliation with his wife aliented his
friends, and put an end to the movement.
Ono Doraocratio politician had set down
his name for 81,000."
Fashionahle circles were never so nu
merous as they arc now. Almost every
lady that appears in tho street is the con-
tro of one. INT. Y. Ledger,
A Hailroad Train Attacked by a Bull.
An accident of a very singular and se
rious nature occurred on the Allegheny
Valley Railroad, on Wednesday evening.
It appears that, as the Express train was
passing a point near Whito Rock Station,
about uinc miles this siuc oi ivmauning,
it was charged upon by a bull belonging
to a gentleman named Klingensmith, re
siding iu the neighborhood, and said to
to be an animal of unusual strength and
ferocity. In the colliion which followed,
his bovine majesty was crushed almost to
a jelly, and his defuuet remains carried
some distance along tho track. The at-
fair, however, did not stop here. Tho
carcase proved an impassable obstruction
to the train, and tho locomotive, tender
and four freight curs were thrown off tho
track. The went over an embaukment
some thirty feet in height, and were re
duced almost to a complete wreck, iho
passenger car, tbe last in the train, re
mained on the track, else the consequen
ces would have been far more serious.
Tho locomotive was a good deal ucd up-,
and tho track damaged for some forty
feet, but beyond this, nothing serious re
sulted from the strange occurrence..
