him during his term.
It is but sheer justice to Mr. Pollock,
though a political opponent, to say that he
has most ably and faithfully represented
the thirteenth district while in Congress,
and that in retiring from office, it must be
to him a proud satisfaction to know that his
course of conduct has met the most general
approval.
KFTire. We regret to learn that the
barn on the premises occupied by Jacob
Yordy, in Sliamokin township, was con

his oats and about 25 tons of hay. The fire
commenced in the straw near the barn, and
was, it is supposed, ignited by a box of
matches that had been lost in it while
threshing. The barn, we believe, is the
property of Mr. Dennis Woolverton and
Mr. John Houghawout.

SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN
HENAT M. FILLER;
In another article toe have adverted to
this gentleman' frant of capacity for a
proper discharge df the duties of the office
of Canal Commissloher-i-a post as impor
tant, we may safely soy, as any other with
in the gilt of tho people of this State. This
of itself should be and we feel confident
it will be an insuperable objection to his
elevation to the Canal Board. But there
are other objections to the man if not so
serious, they are more obnoxious In the
eyes of those who love an independent
spirit, Mr. Fuller, our readers are already
aware, was a member of the last legislature.
The "masterly inactivity" he preserved on
the questions which ho knew would be
fully investigated by an intelligent consttt
uencv, shows him to be a man who is
keenly alive to his own advancement, if
not to the best interests of the State. We
submit it to the candor of every intelligent
reader whether this is not the most liberal
construction we can put upon his conduct,
when it is known that he dodged the vote
on the School Law, the Militia Lav, and
the Exemption Law all of which acts a
large majority of onr German friends are
deadly opposed to. For the truth of this
statement see House Journal of last session.
Like a patriotic legislator, he should have
been independent enough to have shown
his hand on these questions. He should
have given them a warm support, or a
manly opposition. This was his plain
duty; but he chose rather to act the part of
a shuffling politician than that of the hon
est public servant. Who, we ask, can have
confidence in a man like this? We ap
peal, therefore, to the independent voters
of this county, to say whether they will
support him in preference to John A. Gam
ble, who has not only the firmness and
moral courage to act boldly in any emer
gency, but who has the ability and practi
cal experience to adorn the station for
which he has been nominated.
CANAL COMMISSIONER.
We are glad to see that the people of
this State are alive to the importance of se
lecting good men to fill the responsible post
of Canal Commissioner. When a conven
tion, therefore, fails to put in nomination a
fit and proper person for this office, it is un
reasonable to expect that they will give it
any encouragement. While we can refer
with pride to the happy selection of John
A. Gamble, as our candidate, we know our
whig friends very sensibly feel the unfor
tunate choice of Henry M. Fuller as
their nominee. The capacity of Mr. Gam
ble for a faithful and efficient performance
of the duties of the office, is everywhere
known, while, on the other hand, Mr. Ful
ler lacks the necessary experience, although
a respectable lawyer. The most extrava
gant eulogists of Mr. Fuller do not pretend
that he has the qualifications and experi
ence of Mr. Gamble. This fact will be
remembered by the democracy at the polls
on the second Tuesday of October.
We have in our candidate those quali
ties that arc absolutely necessary in a Canal
Commissioner. Mr. Gamble possesses a
practical mind, an enlarged experience, a
thorough acquaintance with our public
works, and, not the least important, a cha.
racter above suspicion and reproach. His
opponent is a young lawyer, bred in the
ap of luxury, without any practical expe.
rience, without any knowledge of our ex.
tensive public improvements, and with no
thing to recommend him to the honest yeo
manry of this State save a "fancy intel.
lect," better adapted to lighter and less im
portant duties than are to be found in the
office of the Canal Board.
inON BAILS.
The Montour Iron Company, it is said,
are making and offering rails at fifty dol
lars per ton. This is a very low price,
and can only be done by great reduction
ot wages. 1 lie Harnsuurg railroad having;
purchased a quantity of English rails at
15 per ton, but finding the Danville rails
so much superior, are now completing the
road with the latter. We presume the
American rail is, in reality, worth doubly
as much more as the difference of cost, but
that does not prevent many companies
giving the English article a preference to
our own, upon a principle of false economy,
in the nrst saving, lue consequence is
we must stop our own iron works, throw
our own people out of employment, and
send large sums of money to England for
an article inferior to our own, at a higher
price, when the intrinsic value of the iron
is considered.

Father Ritchie; ol Ihe Washington
Union; is freqiiehtly involved iri trouble on
account of his Want of merhoryv and conse
queritly want df fconsistency In 1829,
When editor of Ihfc Richmond Enquirer, he
published a letter from his Washington cor
respomh'tif, Which staled that Gen. Jack
son's cabinet was about to enter upon a
"searching and impartial investigation" for
the purpose of turning out of office all such
officers who had interfered in the elections.
Now for the joke. The Richmond Whig,
prompted by the complains of Mr. Ritchie
against General Taylor's administration for
its removal of office-holders, wickedly pub
lished a letter a few weeks ago purporting
to come from its Washington correspon
dent, but which was in truth a copy of the
very letter originally published by the same
Mr. Ritchie in the Enquirer of 1829
date and names only being changed. Many
not understanding the ruse, expressed much
surprise, on reading the epistle, (supposing
it to be authentic,) that General Taylor
should have thought of entering upon such
a sweeping system of'proscription; and Mr,
Ritchie himself not recognizing; his own
offspring, thus revived eagerly seized upon
it as an evidence of a "secret and infamous
system of espionage, the most abominable
of all the devices of tyrants." "a base and
shameful invocation to the friends of the
administration in the country to become
spies and informers against their democrat
ic neighbors" "a ferocious spirit of pro
scription which can find its parallel only
among the brutal and sanguinary human
butchers of the French Revolution of
1708." "We invoke the American peo
ple to contemplate the nature and tendency
of this monstrous and detestable system,"
&c, etc. Circumstances certainly do alter
cases, and Father Ritchie should be careful
how he abuses himself and his friends.

The Union county papers record the death
of Daniel Hummel of Union township who
committed suicide on Tuesday last by cut
ting his throat. The Samaritan says ho had
been a hard drinker, and was laboring under
delirium tremens, and on that day went to
a neighbor to get him to plough some ground
for him. He stated that he had to hasten
home as there were several individuals wait-
ng for him who wanted to kill him. When
ho reached home, he got his razor and in the
presence of his wifo endeavored to cut his
throat. She succeeded in getting the razor
from him. Ho then went into the garden
and got an old scythe with which ho cut
several gashes across his throat. His wifo
wrested the scythe from him. At last ho suc
ceeded in getting an old case knife, with
which, in sight of his wife, ho severed tho
two lary;e arteries at the neck, and then ad
vanced toward his wife, but fell down from
oss of blood bofore he reached her, and in a
short time expired !

JOURNAL.
trouhlk With England.
The affair of the French Minister is by no
means the only matter and certainly not the
most important, that has been before the
Cabinet at Washington, tt is now staled
that a not very cordial correspondence has
beon geing on between our government and
Mr. Lrampton, who, in the absence of Sn
Henry Lytton Bulwer, represents Her British
Majesty in this country.
This correspondence has nrisen out of the
interference of Great Britain In Central
America in that part of the east coast,
rather, that is known ns the Mosquito king
dom, tt is well known that tho government
of Nicaragua had granted to nn American
Company, the right of constructing a water
communication between the Atlantic and
Pacific, bv way of the river Snn Juan nnd
Lake Nicaragua. A young Indian Chief,
callins himself the Kinn of tho Mosquitoes,
has put in a claim of sovereignty over the
greater part of the territory through which
the San Juan runs, including tho port of Grey
Town, at its mouth. In his pretensions to
this sovereignty ho has been sustained by
the British government, which had guaran'
tied tho integrity cf this territory to the sav
age potentate. Accordingly, some timo since.
the British Consul at New York informed the
Company who claimed the right to go on
with the canal, that the Government of m
carauga had no right to confer the privileges
thoy claimed.
The matter was then referred to the au
thorities at Washington, and a correspon
dence commenced between our Secretary of
State nnd the British representative, in which
it is said that the latter has sustained the
British side of tho question very firmly,
while on the other hand, our government has
been equally firm in upholding the just claims
of American citizens. The details of this
correspondence have not yet leaked nut
through any of the organs of the administra
tion ; but, it is stated, that our relations with
F.ngland are assuming lather a threatening
aspect. For our part, we have no doubt that
this affair, as well as that of the. French Min
ister, will be soon settled, without any dan
ger of a rupture between tho two govern
ments. At the samo time, we shall sustain
the administration, as will all good citizens,
in their decided assertion of the rights of our

COUNTY ALMSIIOrSE.
Tho hospital of the Berks County Poor
house has been the scene of a bloody t rased y,
which is almost unparallellod in the history
of human actions, involving tho destruction
of a family, consisting of a wife nnd daugh
ter, by the father, and his death by suicide,
after ho had inflicted dreadful wounds upon
tho head and throat of the wife, with a razor
and hammer, and severing tho throat of the
daughter, a girl somo 18 years old, with the
same instrument. This shocking nnd san
guinary deed was committed in one of the
chambers of the Hospital, occupied by the
unfortunate victims for the last ten months,
on Saturday evening last, between 7 and S
o'clock. His name is Fredkhick Staiii., a
native of Germany, and his conduct has
always been marked with propriety, but may
have been led to the act by the hopeless con
dition of the wife, who is insane, ami that of
his daughter, long confined to her bed by
lameness, and unable to utter a word. The
wife made her escape from the rhambeii
with her neck dreadfully lacerated by tho
razor, and her head battered with tho ham
mer, the handle of which broko in his hands.
When tho overseer entered, he found Stahl
reeling to the floor, and instantly expired
the daughter lay in her gore on tho bed, with
her throat cut from ear to ear. The Coroner,

COMMUNICATION.
toiNTY tri:asiui:u.
Mr. Editor : I am pleased to see that
"we the people" who are deeply interested
in the matter aro going to have a choice in
the selection of a Cou'ity Treasurer, and that
JACOB YOUNG, of Sunbury, has consented
to become the people's candidate. Mr
Young is a man of family, sober and indus
trious and has always borne an irreproachable
character. Disease and a broken constitu
tion have of late years borne heavily upon
him, and renders him incapable of perform
iug the labor to which he was accustomed.
Now I do not pretend to say anything
against Mr. Youngman, his opponent. It is
enough for me to know that Mr. Young is an
older man a man of a family who are de
pendent upon him for support that he is
fully as competent and that he would give
most general satisfaction. The office of
County Treasurer ought never to be consider
ed a political office. It is an office created
strictly for the accommodation and use of
the people of the county, and as a democrat
1 feel that I am but performing my duty in
supporting Mr. Young, a deserving and
worthy man, instead of Mr. Youngman, a
young man without a family and none to
take care of but himself.

19th inst., Rev. WM. K. SMITH, piutor of the
Prosbvterian congregations of Northumberland
and Sunbury, aged 58 years.
He is gone! The beloved pastor who for
more than twenty five years ministered to his
little flock has been summoned home cal
led to his reward taken where he so much
longed to be - to happiness and heaven.-'
'Then how wilt thou do in tho swellings of
Jordan" were the words of this beloved pas
tor to his people as they gathered around him
on the Inst sabbath he ministered to them in
the sanctuary. Litllo they dreamed they
were listening to the last warning, that voice
should ever sound to them on earth, that the
hand so ofton raised in kindly expostulation
and reproof, would so soon bo cold in death-
thai those eyes that had so often wept bitter
tears over their backslidings and sins, would
weep no more for them for ever. The last
warning was sounded. The last prayer offer
ed and consigning his beloved charge to his
heavenly fathers caie, the faithful pastor tur
ned his face to tho wall and lay dowrr upon
his bed of death. His work was all done
his mission was fulfilled tho silver cord was
loosened tho pitcher broken at the fountain.
In God's mysterious Providence, example was
added to tho precepts ho had endeavored to
instil into his peoples hearts. Their pastor
was to be their bright guide through the deep
waters of JurJan to the gales of the eclcstia
city.
The earthly ties that knit our pastor to his
heople aro all broken noie, they were of pecu
liar and enduring strength, he was endeared
to many hearts. The joung had grown old
under his ministrations unconscious infancy
whom ho had blessed in his Father's name,
had sprung into vigorous manhood the gray
hair had deepened into white on the brows
of the aged. For long years he had gone in
and out before his peoplo he had buried
their dead, baptized their children and had
welcomed tliem to the table ot the Lord Ii is
Master he was their spi lit ual guide endeared
by countless associations and sabbath alter
sabbath for many years had stood before his
people, pointing to the Saviour whom he lov
ed and in whose bosom we believe he is now
eposiug.
In a retired quiet nook, soperated only by
tho Church wall from his old pulpit homeand
in tho very spot his own hand had marked
out, rests all that was mortal of our departed
pastor. Tho first summer leaves had only
began to fade, when those who had so loved
and revered him while living, were called
by the slowly tolling bell, to consign his body
to its mother earth. I'p tho aisle where nev
er more his footsteps would sound he was
once inoro borne and his bodv rested lor a
little time under tho shadow of the very pul
pit, (now draped in mourning) from whence
his warnings had been so often and so faith
fully been proclaimed. I'nder the pleasant
shade of trees his grave was made and with
tearful eyes and troubled hearts, the many
who had loved him here, his bereaved fiiends. I
