SUNBURY AMK1UCAN AND SHAMQK1N JOURNAL.
A singular Tonv.
Oalignani' Messenger contains the fol
lowing singular loiy, which may or may not
be true, at GaJignani is famous for strange
erents.
A few days tinea a medical man named
Phillipe, died in a tillage near Paris, where
he had resided many years, and had acquired
a jjreat reputation for skill and probity. He
neer demanded any remuneration, except
from those who were in circumstances to be
able to pay him ; and during the last visit of
the cholera he was indefatigable in his atten
tion to the suffering poor. Last year an
Englishman, tiaelling in that part of the
country, was taken so suddenly ill that he
was obliged to slop at an inn in the commune
end Dr. Phillippe was sent for.
Scarcely, however, had he arrived nt the
led side of the patient, when the latter be
came violently agitated, and his countenance
changed exceedingly. The doctor appeared
also to be agitated, and at once ordered every
one out of the room. When that was done
the door was, locked on the inside. The
landlady, being desirous to know what was
going nn, listened at the door, but the cote
versation was carried on in a language which
he did not understand, she, however, heard
the patient exclain in French, "Assassin !
assassin !" after which a violent altarcation
ensued. The Knglish man appeared to
threaten, and the doctor to supplicate him
the Utter afterwards left the room, and went
into the kiichen, where he prepared some
medicine, which he ordered to be given to
the patient several times during the night.
On the following day the stranger was much
worse, and feeling his end approaching, he
made a sign for pen, ink, and paper, and
wrote a few words in French, which the
landlady gave to the Mayor of the commune
who, not understanding the language,
threw it aside into a drawer, where it was
forgotten.
The stranger died in the same evening.
A lew days since the Mayor, when calted on
to register the death of the doctor, who in
his turn had paid the debt of humanity,
thought of this paper, and on his showing it
to his nephew who understood the language(
it was found that Dr Phillippe was no other
than the famous Paticson. a noted robber of
the United Stales, all trace of whom had
been long lost. The Englishman had recog
nised him as a man who had 20 years before
attempted to murder him, while travelling
in the State of Vermont, in America. The
Mayor immediately proceeded to the house
of Or. Phillippe to institute an inquiry. He
found that he had during his illness refused
to be undressed, and had made the persons
who attended him ptomise that he should be
buried in the clothes which he had wore.
The Mayor, however, ordered the body to be
undressed, when it was found that the doctor
was in reality a very spare man, although
be always appeared stout, the bulk being
caused by his wearing clothes wadded most
thii'kly. His legs were also bandaged up.
and one of his feet was found to be a very
skillfully artificial one. The body was cov
ered with marks of wounds. In a dark closet
there were found several chests fastened
with triple locks, and on these being forced
open they were found to contain arms of va
rious kinds, watches, gold coins of all nations
and diamonds and jewels to a considerable
value. Particulars of this discovery have
been transmitted to the government, and a
copy sent to the authorities of the Slate of
Vermont."
The Boston Slave Excitement. During
Friday night seven persons were arrested for
refusing to leave the vicinity of the court
house when requested. They were all dis
charged before morning except two, who(
being found armed with pistols, were sent
to jail, and on Saturday afternoon were ex
amined in the Police Court, on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons. During Friday
evening several hundred persons remained
about the court house, and cheers were re
peatedly given for the Union. Several armed
colored men were arrested and" comrnilted
to jail for endeavoring to gain admittance to
the armory of the New England Guards
-where the company was under arms. On
Saturday morning several ill disposed per
sons watched for the appearance in the street
of the three gentlemen from Georgia, who
re witnesses in this case, and upon their ap
proaching the vicinity of the Court House, a
tiKfcb gathered and surrounded them, evident
ly with the attention of taunting and annoy,
jng tliem. if not for worse purpose.
Officers interfered, and the three stiangets
entered the Court House without further mo
lestation. A body of 350 United States troops, with
two pieces of ordinance, were kept in
readiness, at the Charlestown Navy Yard.
Railroad Transportation Arrangement.
The Baltimore Sun says arrangements have
been made by the Columbia and Philadel
phia Railroad, on account of the recent burn,
ing of their bridge over the Conesioga, near
Lancaster, for the conveyance of all their
freight cars over the Philadelphia, Wilming.
ton and Baltimore Railroad to Baltimore, and
thence to Harrisburg, over the Baltimore and
Susquehanna and York and Cumberland
.Railroads This arrangement will probably
continue about three weeks, until the bridge
"V it rebuilt. The passenger tiains over the
Cumberland road will continue to run as
heretofore from Philadelphia, the paisen
gers crossing the Conestogs on a tempor
ry floating bridge, which had beeu cree
led.

ton, was admitted to practice in the several

JIDGE POLLOCK.
The April Term of our Court commen
ced on Monday last. Judge Pollock took
his seat on the Bench, for the first time, in
this County. The Judge's Charge to the
Grand Jury was clear, and emphatic. He
evinced a determination to use his utmost
power to put down all kinds of vice, and
especially gambling and tipling. Thus far
the Judge has made a favorable impression.
IU Appropriation for the River
Bank. Mr. John B. Packer our member
has succeeded in passing through the House,
an appropriation of $5,000 to repair the
Schute and abutments of the Shamokin
Dam, and also $3,000 to rip rap and se
cure the Bank of the river at Sunbury.
We trust the Senate will concur with the
House in granting the appropriation. Mr.
Packer at all events deserves much credit
in getting the matter through the House.
PITIABLE SIGHT.
Robison who escaped from the Jail at
Lockport, New York, and who waa con
fined to the Jail of this County a few weeks
since, was taken from thence on Thursday
last, on a requisition from the Governor of
New York. Though he was desperate and
furious when arrested, he was now humbled
to the dust. He is a tall, well made man,
with a powerful frame, and it was really
pitiable to see him in his manacles, when
led out, weeping and sobbing like a child.
How true is it that "the way of the trans
gressor is hard V

A SINGULAR CASE."
The last Miltonian i down upon the
one l-dttud Editor of the Intelligencer tn
the upper end of the County. The Mil
tonian should ask John what has become of
tha free toil principles with which his
whole soul was imbued a few months pre
vioui to his advent into Mc'Ewensville.
John is certainly a most valorous genius,
In bis last paper, he attacked among others,
Col. V. Best of the Danville Intelligencer,
and strange to say lost his "I" in lh con
test, bringing the redoubtable "we" to bear
on our frightened neighbor with fearful
vengeance. But John if a remarkable
man. When he was immersed up to hia I-
browt in free, aoilism, a few months before
his Herald ol Freedom burst forth upon the
astonished world, from Bloomshurg, he
magnanimously offered to subscribe for our
paper, on condition that we would change
our principles. We held the matter under
advisement, but concluded after due delib
eration to decline the offer. We regret
that our young friend, who officiated for us,
during our absence at Philadelphia, should
have threatened John with such an indignity
ai "a spanking." He protests, however,'
that the matter of "free soil" had entirely
escaped his memory at the time, or he
should never have ventured to propose
such an infliction.
THE SUSQUEHANNA RAIL ROAD.
A strong effort is making to defeat this
bill now before the legislature. The peo
ple of the Susquehanna are resolved to have
a rail road up the valley of their noble
river, which will not only connect with
the New York and Erie Rail Road at El-
mira, but will be carried up the West
Branch, and from thence to Erie. The
Ballimoreans are aware of the great im
portance of this trade, and will themselves
give a liberal and helping hand to aid in its
construction. We understand that a stun
nearly sufficient to build the road, from
Harrisburg to Sunbury, is ready for the
work. It is high time that something is
done to secure the trade of Central and
Northern Pennsylvania. New York is ex
tending branches in every direction to draw
trade to her capitol. She now has North
ern Pennsylvania as her customer. As
soon as the IVilliamsport and Elmira road
shall be finished, even the Counties as far
East as Clinton and Lycoming will turn
their trade in that direction, during the
winter, if the Susquehanna road is not soon
constructed.
MOSTOIK COUKTY.
The bill for the re-annexation of Mon
tour county to Columbia has been defeated
in the Senate by a vote of 14 to 16. What
ever we may think of the propriety of the
formation of the new County, we could
not view its repeal after its organization,
as any thing short of an arbitrary stretch of
power. The first grand error was in the
removal of the seat of Justice from Dan
ville to Bloomsburg. The latter place, it
is true, was more central, but we doubt
whether any one ever sustained anything
more than an imaginary injury, in travel
ling a few miles further to reach the seat of
Justice.
It will be seen by the legislative pro
ceedings that a motion has been made and
carried to reconsider the bill.
IU" Two Men Killed. We learn that
two men, father and son, were killed on
Mr. Shaffer's Section of the Trevorton Rail
Road, near Smiths Tavern, by the falling of
a bank of earth. Their names were Mi
chael and Patrick Martin.
Qjp" Judge of the Supreme Court. It
is not known who will be appointed to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Judge Burnside on the Bench of the Su
preme Court. Among others we believe
the name of Joshua W. Comly, Esq., of
Danville, has been presented before the
Governor. Mr. Comly is a lawyer of
fine legal acquirements, and possesses the
respect and confidence of all who know
him. Governor Johnson could not vell
make a better selection.
Since the above was in type we have
learned that the Governor has appointed
Hon. George Chambers of Franklin county
05 Three cent pieces. The coinage
of these pieces has been commenced at
Philadelphia. They are about the size of
a half dime, and are well marked with the
Roman numeral III on one side.
tty" Strawberriss and Cream. Col.
Wallace of the Philadelphia Sun makes a
note ol some delicious strawberries and
cream he was invited to feast on, at James
W. Parkinson's. Philadelphians are wise
in one thing at all events. They keep
their editors, generally speaking, well fed
if not always well paid.

Resolved', that, by the death of the Hoti1
Thomas Burnside, who dm ing the last six
years has tilled the high and lesponsible of
fice of an associate Justice of the -Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania, the Judiciary of this
Commonwealth, and the community at large,
sustain a great deprivation of extensive
knowledge very long experience and emi
nent ability, and of faithfulness, uprightness
and industry, in the discharge of onerous of
ficial duties.
