Santa. Art nit has been robbed at Jamaica j
by SdnVG rascal not having a due sense of the
endrmity of stealing tho property of no dis
tinguished a perscildi The Jamaica Jour
nal gives the facts In tho following form :
Oil Friday night last, man was discovered
in the premises of General Santa Anno, car
rying away a box belonging to one of tho
General's servants. The fellow was captu
red, and the owner of the box was for taking
his prisoner to the cage; but Santa Anna pro
posed that ha should be secured for the hands
of tho mithorties. The box was therefore
taken away from him, and at the suggestion
of the General, he was well tied to a tree, in
such a manner that there was no doubt of
his security. Tho General seemed, however,
to have had some doubts, for he got up more
than once during that night to satisfy himself
that the fellow was safe. About two o'clock
he again left his bed to have another look nt
lha prisoner, but lu and behold ! his bird had
flown, and what was more surprising, he hud
dso taken away the box with him. I low
the thief managed to have unloosed himself
ind made his way into the very place where
n the properly he had first stolen was placed
ifler being taken awny from him, and then
o steal it a second time, no one can tell ; but
he fellow, who is supposed to be a Creole,
las completely outwitted the Mexican. No
ntelligoace has, we learn, been as yet heard
f the thief or the stolen property.
Robbery or Tin: National Jewels. The
'atent Olfiee, at Washington, on Wednesday
light was entered by thieves, who made a
dean sweep of the National jewels, valued ul
?20,000. A reward of 5?10l)() is offered for
ho recovery of the stolen property. The
Vufhington correspondent of the Baltimore
-Upper gives the following particul-irs of the
obbery :
Late last niirht, or early this morning, the
oum in the Talent Ollice Huildiug, occupied
s the National Gallery, or Museum, was eu
red and robbed of the following articles,
iz: the Gold Snuff Box presented by the
'.tnperor Alexander to the Hon Leavilt Har
s, American Minister to the Court of St.
etersburg, (the letter A on the lid was com
jsed of diamonds,) the value of this article
$ ,000. The bottom of it only was found
the room. The gold scabbard of tho sword
csented to Com Biddle by the Viceroy of
3ru ; the sword was not taken. The largo
)ttle of Otto of Rose, (from which perfu
ers could realize SOOOO or3qp0;) the pearl
teklucc, and two large pearls, presented to
esident Van Buren by the Imauin of Mus
t. The string was cut, and three of tho
arls left behind. There were also stolen
?diis, copper and silver, of various Generals
U. S. army, among them that of Gen.
ayne ; a guld medal of Bolivar, presented
himself ta a person who prevented him
ra being assassinated, and other medals.
The building was entered by the robbers
the double front, and ascending to the Nu
lal Gallery, they unlocked the door with a
10 key. They then secured the door wiih
;s inside.

rabic was discovered, and a colt, made of
ipo, with a place for the hand, and heavy
ads of load. This was the means of defence
-a silent instrument of death. (The owner
an have hispioperty by coming forward and
proving property ! ) Some years ago tho .old
snuff box was stolen, for which a reward of
S 1500 was offered, and recovered on board
of a vessel in Baltimore. Tho watchmen of

nothing of the doings of the thieving visiters.
Tub Asiatic Cholera proves by dissec

llnmation and ulceration of the various mem
brane of tho bowels. The contents of the
stomach and intestines ferment and putrify,
vomiting, and swelling of the abdomen quick
ly follow, and the patient sinks. Dr. Max
well, of Calcutta, saw ho cured himself by
copious drafts of effervescent soda powders
in cold water ; that he afterwards saved ma
ny a lil'u by tho kiiiio treatment. He says
that no remedy will avail except relieving
the bowels of ihe fermenting content, and if
this be not done gently, it will bo fatal.

of relief for deafness resulting from scarlet
fever, &c, in ciues w here the drum of the
ear has been broken. It is simply to mois
ten a small pellet of raw cotton, and gently
push it down tba passage of the ear till it
reaches Ihw drum at the bottom ; adjusting it

All the returns are now received, and
(Jeneral Taylor is President elect of the
United States. lie has received an unpre'
cedented majority one that was not anti'
cipated by the wildest fanatics ol the whig
part'. His vote is entirely owing to the
suicidal course of theJDemocralic leaders in
relation to a tariff. So faithful have the
masses hitherto been to the will of the lea
ders, that the latter, in an evil hour, inuv
gined that no doctrine or principle was so
wild or gross, but it could be readily for
ced upon them. They vainly supposed
that their utter and shameful abandonment
of fixed principles would be quietly acquie
ced in by the people. Too late they have,
if they arc not willfully blind, discovered
their error. Pennsylvania lias spoken her

The result was announced in a spirit of
prophecy by Senator Cameron, in his speech
on presenting to the Senate in July, 1816,
the petition of thousands of Pennsylvanians
against the repeal of the bill of 1812. He
said :
'Every legislature for years has instructed
her representatives here to adhere to her fa
vorite policy and no man has ever presumed
to ask her favor without admitting the justice
and propriety of her views upon this subject;
and 1 may add, Mr. President, woe betide the
man who raiv his suicidal hand agaiiisl her,
now in the hour of her extremity.
'I havo said her favor was never asked
without a pledge to support her views. You
know, fir, how it was in 1844. I need not
tell you that you would not now occupy that
chair but for the assurances the oft reitera
ted assurances that her policy would not bo
disturbed. Yon and I remember the scenes
of that day. We cannot forget the flags and
hauliers which were carried in Ihe proces
sions of her demoerncy, pending1 the election
which resulted in the triumph of our party.
It cannot, and it ought not to be disguised,
that, but for these assurances to which I have
alluded, that triumph never would have been
obtained. 1 remember tho anxiety which
pervaded tho minds of the politicians until
the publication of the Kauo letter, und I can
not forget tho pains that were taken by the
leading men of the party to convince the
people that il w as evidence of on intention to
protect our interests. Hit confiding citizens
iravo their support in good faith, and they ex
peeled good faith in return. The letter was

SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN
A TIIOVOHT FOR WINTER.
A bountiful harvest has filled our barns
with grmin, and Autumn has shed its rich
fruits upon us in profusion. Ail tne pro
duction of the Earth, Vhich this season has
so plentifully repsM the labors of the hus
bandman, are gathered and garnered. Al
ready stern winter is upon us with his frost,
snow and biting winds, and while we sit
by the blazing hearth listening to the storm,
or wrapped in wool and fur, dare the cold
without, let us remember there are those a
bout us, upon whose "unprotected bodies
that storm and cold fall in all their violence.
Let him who rises from the table where his
inner man has been comforted, think of
the many who are at that moment suffer
ing from the knawings of hunger. These
are the thoughts which must enter the
mind of every one, in whom is a spark of
humanity. But let not the thought pass
unheeded, or turn into a selfish congratula
tion on your good fortune. Look about
among j'our neighbors on whom the bles
sings of Providence have not been bestow
ed with so liberal a hand. Sec if there is
not some one whom you can bless by the
bounty, it is in your power to distribute. Is
there no family, whose supporter has been
prevented by the hand of disease from pro
viding against the approach of winter;
where you can shed gladness by a few
bushels of potatoes or a bag of grain, that
will never be missed from your full bins?
A load of wood or coal, a joint of meat
when your fatted ox is killed, may gie
comfort and support to some neighbor and
make you no poorer. There are innumer
able little charities each of us may dispense.
Give then, and with no niggard hand. God
has not given us abundance to waste in ex
travagance, or hoard in avarice ; but that
we may mete out kindness to others as he
has to us. But give not in an arrogant spi
rit that makes the recipient feel his depen
dence. Give as friend gives to friend, and
the sense of your kindness will come with
double force. Many refuse charity when
tendered in an improper manner, while
they are in woeful want ; for there is a
feeling of pride in every man's bosom
which revolts at the assumption of superi
ority. Give then, in thankfulness, that you
are able to give. There is much good in
small things, and the loaf a bread you give
to the starving man may save him from the
gallows. And it is your duty to relieve
the suffering. The time may come when
yourself will need the charities of the more
fortunate. Besides there is a pleasure in
being able to give to the poor, an inward
consciousness of right that warms the heart
and cherishes the better feelings of our na
ture. The smallest act of charity comes
back upon the giver and makes his spirit
lighter. It is the trne nature of man to be
benevolent.

Then in your plenty forget not the poor.
And while on Thankgiving Day, you praise
God for the abundance he has blessed you
with, you will feel doubly grateful and
happy that you have not neglected his com

From the Evansvillo (Indiana) Journal
A DRAMATIC DEATH.
We hat lately seen feoing the rounds of
newspaper an account, in the main correct.
of a deplorable tragedy that occurred on the
boards of the Nashville Theatre tome fifteen
years ago. The editor of this paper was on
the stage personating the "Friar," when the
deplorable accident occurred, and as we ob
serve one or two slight errors in the account
as now published, we deem it proper to make
the correction.
A number of young men wiih one or two
exceptions, printers, engaged in the different
office in Nashville, formed themselves into a
a Thespian Corps, ond rented the theatre with
its scenery, and commenced giving dramatic
representations. Thny had performed two or
three weeks, when Mr. J. J. McLaughlin, a
young gentleman from Hopkinsville, Ky., of
fine personal appearance, great dramatic lu-
lent, and energy of character, presented him
self to the managing committee for a situa
tion. His offer wnsnrcepted, ami lifter Uitnift
ting in Ihe representation of tho drama of
"Rob Roy," "Bertram, or the Castle of 'St.
Aldobrand," was announced, and he to per
form the part of Bertram. The day tho piece
was to be performed, McLaughlin visited the
steamboat landing to bid good-by to a friend
who was leaving for the East, and was acci
dentally taken off by the boat and carried
some twenty miles down tho river, when he
was put on shore and had to walk nil the
way back to tho city, where he arrived about
sunset, completely exhausted, and looking
wild nnd excited to nn unusual degree. His
associates, to whom he had greatly endeared
himself by his frank, manly deportment, of-
fered to postpone the play to some other j
evening, but he, to whom the management j
had been given, strungly insisted lhat then
should be no disapKiiiitment, and remarket
with a forced smile rpon his countenance,
lhat if the others wore ready he was. and he
would '-'piny Bertram ns it never had been
played ou those boards." He kept his word.
Evening came and tho theatre was lighted
and the house was poou tilled by the beauty
and fashion of the city. The play had pro-
giessed nearly to the close and had given
general satisfaction, not only to th;? audience
but to th.; performers themselves. It is true
McLaughlin appeared great excited during
the play, and when not on the stage he sought
some corner apart from the others, but no no
tice ns taken of this, and he was suffered
to commune with himself alone. In the end
of Ihe play Bertram stabs himself and dies,
and McLaughlin not having provided himself
with a weapon for the occasion, accepted a
Spanish dirk from a gentleman who had been
admitted behind the scenes. As the tragedy
wore lo its denouncement his excitement in
creased, nnd the gloomy spirit of the play
was upon him with a power that made a
strong impression of reality upon the hearers,
and made them shudder as he pronounced
the followiuix, accompanied by the plunge of
tho dagger that brought him to his death :
'Bertram hath but onu foe on earth,
.Imf If is- icir." Stabs liimsrli'.
It was at lhis moment that he plunged the
weapon lo hi? heart. It wa.s dot:blle.-s the
result of the excited feelings of the actor,
who had too absorbingly entered inte the
dreadful spirit of his hero. Wc charitably
suppose that he had no premeditated design
of ending his life with the play ; but his com
plete identification of feeling with the part
he acted, led him to suicide as a natural con
sequence. Mo drew the bloody weapon from
his bosom, and throwing it from him, fell al
full length upon the stage.
The hallucination, if such wo may call it
did not end with tho plunge of Ihe dagger.
His feelings bore him along still after some
exclamation of surprise from the tragic monks
' a dying sentence for him to repeat
Hi) rai
sed himself on his elbow, and went through
it with starting effect. With a burst of exul
tation 'I died no felon's dealh
A warrior's weapon freed a warrior's soul !"
While he was pronouncing these, tho last
words of the tragedy, his eye and manner
were fearfully wild the blood was fallim; from
his bosom upon the singe and running down
