rLiTPORM ai micirt.M.
1 The acknowledgement nf that Almltilt
t Being, who rule over the Universe who
presides over the Councils of Nations who
conducts the affairs of men, and Who, n every
Step by which we havo advanced to the char
acterofan independent nation, has distin
gTiisbcdusby somo tokei of rrovidontial
The cultivation and dfevolopemeut of
sentiment of profoundly intense American
feeling! of passionate attachment to onr
country, its history and its institutions ; of
admiration for the pnrcr dayi of our National
existence; of venrntion for the heroism that
precipitated our Revolution J and of emulation
of the virtue, wisdom and patriotism that
framed our Constitution and first successfully
applied its provisions.
III. The maintenance oftho Union of
these United States as the paramount polite
cat good or, to use the language of Washing.
ton, "the primary objects of patriotic desire."
And hence :
1st, Opposition to all attempts to weaken
or subvorit it.
2d. Uncompromising antngouisn to every
principle of policy that endangers it.
3d. The advocacy of an eqnituble adjust
ment of all political differences which threat
ens its integrity or perpetuity.
4th. The suppression of all tendencies to
Bolitical division, foundod on "treoern pineal
discriminations, or on the belief that there is
real difference of interests and views" bc
tweon the various sections of the Union.
5th. The full recognition of tho rights of
the several States, as expressed and reserved
In the Constitution ; and a enreful avoidance,
by the general government, of all interference
With their rights by legislative or executive
action.
IV. Obedience to the Constitution of thcee
United States, as the supreme law of the
land, sacredly obligatory upon all its parts
and members, and steadfast resistance to the
spirit of innovation upon its principles, how
ever specious its pretexts. Avowing that in
all doubted or disputed points it may only
be legally ascertained and expounded by the
judicial power oftho United States.
Aud. a a corollary to the above :
1. A habit of reverential obedience to the
laws, whether National, State, or Muncipal,
tintil they are either repealed or declared
unconstitutional by the proper authority.
2. A tender and sacred regard for those
acts of statesmanship, which are to be contra
distinguished from acts of ordinary legisla
tion! by the fact of their being of the nature
of compacts and Agreements ; and so, to be
considered a fixed and settled national policy.
V. A radical revision and modification of
the laws reguluting immigration, and the
settlement of immigrants. Offering to the
honest immigrant, who from love of liberty
or hatred of oppression, seeks nn assylnm in
tho United States, a friendly reception and
protection. But unqualificly condemning tho
transmission to our shores of felons and
paupers.
VI. The essential modification of the
Naturalization Laws.
The repeal by the Legislatures of the re
spective States, or nil State laws allowing
foaeigners not naturalized to vote. .
The repeal, without retroactive operation,
of all acts of Congress making grants of land
to unnaturalized foreigners, and allowing
them to vote In the Territories.
VII. Hostility to the corrupt means by
which the leaders of party have hitherto
forced upon us our rulors aud our political
(reeds.
Implacable enmity against the present
demoralizing system of rewards for political
subserviency and of punishments for political
independence.
Disgust for tho wild hunt after office which
sharacterizes tho age.
These on the ouu band. Or the other
Imitation of the practice of the purer days
of tho Republic ; and admiratiou of the max
im that "office should seek the man, and not
man the office," and of the rule that tho just
mode of ascertaining fitness for office is tho
capability, the faithfulness, and the honesty
of the incumbent or candidate.
VIII. Resistance to the aggressive policy
and corrupting tendencies of the Human
Catholic Church in our country by the ad
vancement to all political stations executive,
legislative, judicial or diplomatic of those
only who do not hold civil allegiance, directly
or indirectly, to any foreign power, whether
civil or ecclesiastical, and who are Americans
by birth, education and training. thus ful
filling the maxim "Americans only shall gov
ern America."
The protection of all citizens in the legal
and proper exercise of their civil and reli
gions rights and privileges; the maintenance
of the right of every man to tho full, u 11 re
strained and peaceful enjoyment of his own
religious opinions and worship, and a jealous
resistance of all attemps, by any sect, denom
ination or church, to obtain an ascendancy
over any other in the State, by ni'iuns of any
special privileges or exemption, by any polit
ical combination of its members, ora division
f their civil allegianco with any foreign pow
er, potentate or ecclesiastic.
IX. Tho reformation of tho character of
our National Legislature, by elevating to that
dignified and responsible position men of
higher qualifications, purer morals, and more
unselfish patriotism
X. The restriction of executive patron
age especially in the matter of appoint
ments to office so far as it may be permitted
by the Constitution, and consistent with the
public good.
XI. The education of the yonth of our
country in schools provided by the State ;
which schools shall bo common to all, with
out distinction of creed or party, and free
from any influence of direction of a denomi
national of partisan character.
And, inasmuch as Christianity by the Con
stitutions of uearly all the States; by the
directions of the most eminent judicial au
thorises ; aud by the consent or the people
of Anerica, in considered an element of onr
political system, and as tho Holy Bible is at
once the suurcu of Christianity, and the de
pository and fountain of all civil and relig
' io is freedom, we oppose every uttempt to ex
clude it from the Schools thus established in
the States.
XII. The American party having arisen
upon the ruins and in spite of the opposition
ct tho Whig and Democratic parties, cannot
be held in any manner respoucible for the
obnoxious arts or violated pledges of either.
And the systematic agitation of the Slavery
qnertioa by those parties haviug elevated
Stvtioaal hostility into a positive element of
poitical iwitrtr, and brought our institutions
into peril it therefore Become the im
perative duty of tho American party to inter
pose for tha pnriwse of giving peace to the
country and perpetuity to the Union. And
as experience has shown it impossible to re
concile opinions so extreme as those which
operate the disputants, and as there can be
110 dishonor in submitting to the laws, the
National Council has deemed it the best
guarantee of common justice and of future
peace, to abide by and maintain the exUtiug
laws upon the subject of Slavery, as a final
and conclusive settlement o(that subject, in
spirit and in subatauce.
And regarding it theirhigheetduty toavow
their opinions upon a subject so important, in
distinct and aueqnivocal terms, it it hereby
d. tared as the sense of this National Couu
eil, that Congrass possesses aa poaer, under
the Constitution, to legislate upon the subject
of Slavery in the States where it does or may
exist, or to exclude any State rrom admission
into the Union because its Constitution does
or does not recognise the Institution of Sla
very as k part or its social system j and ex
pressly permitting any expression ot opin
ion upon the power of Congress to establish
or prohibit Slavery in any Territory, it If the
sense of the National Council that Congress
otight not to legislate upon the subject of
Slavery within the Territory of the United
States, and that any interference by t'ongrcss
with Slavery as it exists in the District of
Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit
and intention of the compact by which the
State of Maryland ceded the District to the
United States, and a breach of the National
faith.
XIII. The policy of the government of
the Unitod States, in its relation with for
cign governments, is to exact justico from the
strongest, and do justice to the weakest; re
straining, by all the power of the government,
all its citizens from interference with the in
ternal concerns of nations with whom we are
at ponce.
A I V. This National Council dccloresthat
all tho principles of tho Order shall be hence
forth everywhere openly avowed ; and that
each member shall be at liberty to make
known tho existence of the Order, and the
fact that be himself is a member, and it re
commends that there bo no concealment of
the places of meeting of subordinate councils.

Arrival of the St. Louis.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Nkw York, June 19, 11, P. M. The
steamship St. Louis, from Havre and South
ampton, reached her wharf at a few minutes
before 11 o'clock, this evening, bringing Lon
don dates to the Cth iustaut, and Liverpool
10 me otn lustnnt.
FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
Scarcely had the Atlantic left Liverpool.
with the news of the great success of tho
Allies against the Russians, than further iv
tclligeuce, with reference to their position u
tho sea of Azoff, reached England.
From a despatch which has been received
nt the Admiralty, from Sir. E. Lyons, dated
Kertsch, May 31st, it appears that the squad
ron in the of AzofT had appeared before Ge
vitchi, landed a body of seamen and marines,
and after driving the Russian force from the
place, destroyed all the depots, and vessels
indun with corn and supplies for the Russian
army. Only one man was wounded.
Since entering the Seo of AzofT, four
steamers of war, und 240 vessels employed in
carrying supplies to the Russian army in .the
Crimea, havo been destroyed by the Allies.
CLOSING OF THE VIENNA CON
FERENCE. The conference nt Vienna were formally
closed at the late sitting, held on the 4th
inst.
The Paris Moniteur of the 4th inst., furn
ishes the following despatch from General
Pclissier to the Minister of War :
"Crimea, June 1st. We have sprnng t,wo
mines in front of the Flag Staff Bastion.
Tho second explosion did considerable dam
age to the enemy. In the ravine of Carcu
ing Bay, in advance of our works, our engi
neers discovered a transverse line of 24 cubic
cases filled with gunpowder, each forty cen
timetres thick, glucetl nt eqnol distances, and
buried jnst beneath tho sod, each cose con
taining one-fiftieth of a killogramme of pow
dej, and covered with a fulminating appara
tus, which would explode by tho silmpe pres
sure of the foot. Three cases have been
taken by our engineers."
Tho London Morning Herald, in a tele
graphic despatch dated Juno 2d, states that
the Allies had taken tho town of istravyebi,
at the mouth of the Putrid Sea, and destroy
ed a nronth's rations for the whole Russian
army, anda largo n in omit of hipping-.
There is little- doubt that this account is
the French version of the affair at Gevitchi.
A despntch from Prince Gortschnkoff, da
ted 2!Hh of May, states that tho Allies had
occupied Kertcli. but had not pushed "inland.
IIo ulso reports that in consequence of mea
sures he hits taken, the Allies will not be able
to cut off the communications of the Russian
army.
The Port Gazette, of Frankfort, publishes
a despatch from Odessa, to the effect that the
Russians were raising batteries to command
tho channel near Gevitchi, which connects
tho Putrid Luke with tho Sea of Azoff.
Another despatch says that Gen. Onscha
koffhad arrived at Perekoff, with his division
of four infantry regiments, each 3,(100 strong.
Gen. Gresenheilm had also arrived at
Perokop with his light cavalry division, con
sisting of four regiments, each 960 strong.
These figures give Prince Gortschakoff a re
inforcement of 18,000 men, a number which
more exact information would reduce.
Letters to Berlin to the 1st inst., state that
the successes of the Allies had made a deep
impression there.
Tub Pirciiasr of Cuba. The Washing
ton Stur says, it has every reason to believe
that the country is in a uiuzo of error as to the
character of the instructions which Mr.
Soule took to Spain. It is greatly believed
that he went out authorized by tho govern
ment to make nn offer for tho purchase of
Cuba. Now every gentleman in Washing
ton connected with foreign missions is in er
ror, if that impression was founded on fact
Their understanding is and we feel assured
it is correct tbat he was instructed to urge,
not the sale of Cuba to us. but that Spain
should acknowledge lis independence, on the
property holders of the island payinginto the
treasury of the realm a fair equivalent for the
pecuniary sacrifice which the mother country
might make in treating her colony as a kind
parent should treat child old enough to bo
gin the world on its own account.
Smai.i. Loaves. The high peice of flour, of
late, has caused the bakers to diminish the
size of their loaves considerably, but those in
New Brunswick, N. J., seem to have reached
fierfectiou in the article referred to, as the
allowing extract from an exchange will show:
"A baker of that place (Newark) in going
his rounds to serve his customers, stopped at
the door of one and knocked, when the lady
within exclaimed, "Who is there V aud was
answered, 'the baker 1' "What do you wantf '
'To leave you bread.' 'Well, well, you need
not make such a fuss about it, put it through
the key-hole 1 "
Not Mitii Like Famine. The receipts
of breadstuff's at the upper lake ports are
tremendous, and in the face of the immense
receipts of corn, and the export demand but
nominal, with a limited di&lilliug businvss,
the present prices of this description cf grain
cannot be maintained. 103,430 bushels were'
received at ports on the upper lakes in one
dav. At Buffalo and Oiweiro the receipts
1 ported on Monday reached 7.24 bbls. of
Hour, IZ.eJi Dusneisoi wneai,iov,u ( uuauei
com, and 193,275 bushels oats.
GotitBace Aoaim. Arebat, lately bom
barded by the Allies, is a fortress on the
Crimean side of the Sea of Asoff, some 80 or
90 mil. s northeast of Sevastopol It was
originally fortified by the Torts, to whom the
late areola have now restored it.

"The Express Train from Philadelphia ran off
the track beyond Cattawissa on Monday, and
returning, met with a similar misfortune, near
Cattawiwa on Tuesday. Dai fortunately no
passengers were hurt."
We copy the above from the Willinmsport
Press, ond have only to say the impression is
general that the Express train is run entirely
too fast over tho short curves on this road.
Wo have no desire to create unnecessary
alarm, and for this reason omitted noticing
the accident bofore. Tho Press states, that
no passengers were hurt. This may havo
been the case with the accident on Monday,
but on the day following a number of persons
were more or less injured, though, we are
rejoiced to say, not seriously, as will bo seen
by the following extract.of a lcttter to a gen
tleman in this place, from n passenger in the
train, when the accident occurred :
Returning on Tuesday, 12th inst., when
about three miles from Tomaiiua, in going
round a short curve, the wheels of tho bag
gage car broke. The passenger cars were
driven against it with such forco that they
were thrown from the track und rolled down
the embankment. Tho scat on which I sot
was knocked to pieces, and the floor beneath
my feet splintered to atoms. A large piece
of car was projected within a few inches of
my head. The floor was torn up, and the
passengers rolled out into a heap. I remark
ed to tho conductor we were going too fast.
11 is reply "not a bit of danger" had scarcely
left his lips, when the crash took place. All

MORE VIOLENCE IN KANSAS.
The Kansas Herald of tho 2d inst., learns
that mob violence is still tho order oftho day
in tho vicinity of Douglas. On tho forenoon
of the previous Monday a gang of twenty-Ovo
or thirty land pirates, who ropreseufrthe pro
slavery interests of Missouri in Kansas, visi
ted tho house of Mr. Hancock' in Lecompte,
and ordered him to leave tho premises with
his gooods in five minutes. Mr. II. refused
to comply with tho demand, when tho ruffi
ans, led on by Mr. Jones, of Wcstport, niur
ched to the front of tho house, nnd ordered
tho company to fire upon him. A parley en
sued, after which he deserted the habitation
erected with much labor, and allowed hii
goods to bo taken out upon the prairie. It
is said that a man by the name of Simmons
pretended to own the claim. After leaving
Hancock's claim they visited the dwelling of
31 r. uaniey, una re-enactea me scenes jusi
uurratcd, with the addition that the torch was
applied and the tenement burned. Mr. Oak
ley's claim was purchased from a Southerner
a few month's since for 250, but the new oc
cupant was iu favor of making Kansas a free
State, hence tho outrage.

To have to kill an ox in order to make a

of an invention, which has just beeu submit

How much ocoHi A Teacoer to Know T
Not everything certainly, but as much as his
pupil at least. It is most cruelly nnjust to
the pupil, to permit the teacher to sit with
book in band, and require one question after
another to be answered according to the book
while be could not auswer oua iu twenty of
those questions himself. Always be satisfied
with your pupil when be kuows as much
abont the lesson aa you do, unless yon may
bavt good reason to be dissatisfied with your
own knowledge, and in that rase let tba
blame fall upon,your(lf, and not upon him.
A DKPOBRD CATHOLIC fSHIT CLAtMISjO
MISJ WIPR IU A COURT OF T7STICSC.
From the Chicago Tribune June 11.
Tba case of The People tx rtMiont Ni
cholas Stamber against Anthony Schnicder,
which came before the Court of Common
Pleas of Cook county, Hon. John M. Wilson
presiding, on Saturday, presents a carious
picture of married life.
It appears that abont a year ago, Nicholas
Stamber, then a priest of tho Catholic church,
was united in marriage with Anna Mary
Schneider, a Oerman girl, the daughter 01 the
defendant, and a good Catholic. The mar-
riago ceremony was performed by Father Pe
ter Kramer, in a private room, without the
use of the wedding ring, nnd without witnes
ses. In all other respects, the marriage cer
emony was performed according to the rites
of the Catholis church, the parties agreeing
and assenting thereto, promising to be man
and wife to each other, and the priest giving
them the nuptual benediction aud prouounc
inn them man and wife.
After the ceremony, Father Nicholas took
the trirl home and kept her as an npper ser
vant or housekeeper, treating her kindly and
paying her wages regularly. Tho girl says
herself that although he always spoko of her
as bis wile, they occupied separate apart
nients.
Some three months since she left his house
and went to Niles, Michigan, where she enter
ed a family in the capacity of a servant. Her
own account is, that both her marriage to ana
desertion from ber husband was in accordance
with the advice of her parents and friends.
To nse her own language, "she was talked in
to it."
Up to the time of Ins wife's leaving h'm,
Father Nicholas had continued his public
ministrations in the Church but since then
we understand he has beeu deposed from tho
priesthood, as has also Father Peter K rum
or.
This suit was brought in the chancery side
of tho Court of Common Pleas, by the hus
band to recover possession of his wife, whom
he alleged was illegally detained from him by
Anthony fechneider. the writ issued, com
manding Schneider to procure the body of
Anna Mary betore the Court, it was served
on Schneider on the 6th of June, by T. S
Buckley, deputy sheriff. On going into the
country to serve the writ, he found Anna Ma
ry at tho houso of one Judsoo, about four
miles Irom her lather s residence, and took
her there with mm.
On Saturday, the defendant appeared be
fore Hon John M. Wilson, in the (,'ourt of
Common 1 lens, and in obedicnco to the writ
produced the bodv of his daughter. Tho hus
band was also present. For the purpose or
ascertaining the true state of the case, and of
rinding out what her wishes were in regard to
living with her husband, the Court ordered
the room to be cleared of all persons but tho
officers of the court, nn interpreter, and re
porters lor the press, and proceeded to ques
tion the rrirl.
We are not, of course' nt liberty to disclose
all that was then elicited ; but it appeared in
addition to the above facts, that she did not
consider the inarriaire letral or bindinsr. be
cause her husband was a priest ; that she
hud left her husband of her own accord ; and
that she wished now to go with her parents
nud stay with them, and not go with her hus
band ; that tho reason she wished to leave
her husband was that sho had been educated
in tho belief that she could never go to hea
ven if sho lived iu marriage with a priest ; but
that no threats whatever had been made to
her by her parents by the priest, or by the
Bishop. She gave her name as Anna Mary
Schneider, and not as Anna Mary Stamber.
Judge Wilson iuformed tho lady that the
marriage was a perfectly valid and legal one,
by tho laws of this Stato ; although it might
be a matter of discipline in their own church,
and that sho could not in a try any other man
while her husband was living ; but that she
was not compelled to live with lit 111 : and ask
cd whom she would go with, her husband or
her father? Sho answered promptly, with her
father. Tho doors were then reopened, and
her husband und parents, tho attorneys on
both sides, and the other members oftho bar
re-entered.
Tho husband was informed that tho bodv
of his wife had been produced, and that she
was ITcro iu court , the marriage, by the laws
of Illinois, wus perfectly legal und valid, but
that he was not to use any lorco in compel
ling her to go with him.
The husband now walked across tho room
to whore the lady stood, and intimated to her
his desire that she should go home with him.
But she resolutely refused ; nor could all his
persuasions induce her to waver irom her tie
termination. She left the court with her pa
rents, and the last we saw of the oiscousolato
spouse, ho was following iu the wu'io of his
wile, pouring tort h his entreaties, to which
she turned a deal ear.
PROBABLE NEW TACTICS OF RUSSIA.
Paris, May 30. I am in possession of somo
information not without interest, ine gar
rison of Sebastopol can muster about 50,000
they ore in want or gunners and engineers
the place is provisioned for eight months.
It is believed that orders liuve been sent
from St. Petersburgh that the Russian forces
in tho Crimea are to retire before the Allies,
slowlv, watching only occasions to attack
any detached corps.
It is proposed by the Cxar to concentrate
again a large force or the frontiers of the
principalities, and thus threaten Turkey.
Mcnuwhilo every effort is being used to con
tract closer relations with Austria, the Court
of Prussia and the smaller German States,
and agents are now employed ou this mission.
Russia proposes that Austria should continue
to promise nlliunce with the Western Pow
ers, as before, but always rfe facto, leave the
door open for Russia to attack Turkey on tho
old ground of tho Principalities. This, as
events take place, it is supposed might bo
accomplished, Austria finding some excuse
for retiring from her treaty engagements.
For example, Austria might soy, "You,
France and England, occupy and hold Rus
sian territory, we never intended or desired
the humiliation of the Czar; we are, there
fore, 110 longer bound to occupy the high
road to Turkey, and will, therefore, let the
Russian army pass."
If, then, my information is correct.it would
be wise to strengthen Turkey at Silistria and
similar strategeiical points. The allied gen
erals have as Targe a force as is practicullv
useful already at their command indeed,
mora than they will require, suppose the
Russian tactics being that of a retreat in the
Crimea acd attack in tho Principalities.
Tua Beau Case. It is rumored that the
Judges of the Supreme Court are unablo to
agree in the case of Jr. Beale, on the writ
of error askiug for a new trial 1 that two of
their number are for affirming the proceed
ings of the Court below, one lor amending the
Record in some way, and the other two for a
reversal. If this be true, the motion for a
new triul fails. At all events nothing fur
ther will be done in the matter until August
next, when the Judges meet at Bedford.

UORACBI GREELYIN PARIS. ,
The London correspondent of tha Suudau
Courier has been to Paris, and writes thus of
Mr. Oreelyt
''Mr. Ureelv'a pteitne in Paris is an inexi
nonstable fund of romance. He astounded
the Inmates of the hotel on his arrival, by
throwing off his cont, putting a lhrg! green
board over his head, and working away at an
account bf hia travels for the 'Jrllwne.
Scarcely had the agitation at the Tuilleries
subsided When he threw the "Flower Mar
ket" inlo the w I lest excitement. It'nppenfs
that Mr. Oreely appeared at the market at a
most unusually early hour. Tho pert,
sprightly flower ('iris were only juRt landing
their sweot merchandise and unbundlingthcir
baskets, and the old women who carry on this
poetic trade were all talking together with
great volubility, while the daughters wore
arranging their fruits add flowers. The
market was almost empty here and there
a manager of a restaurant slyly looking out
for some choice vegetable, nnd grinning po
litely to the young ladies of the market. But
the bustle of the day had not arrived, nnd
quiet prevailed, when all of a sudden, if the
story iii the 5t'fc7 ia not colored, in rolled.and
tumbled a man whose nppearanco threw all
the men in the market into amazement.
"En voila tin jrognard," said one, "Quel droic
de corns." said tho other. "Oh, la carotte
tthomme." fell in the next t so every one hnd
his way, while all looked after him with per
fect wonder. But be, unaware 01 an mis,
sturdily t imb'ed on until be came face to
face with a singularly sharp potato, which fas
cinated his attention, and led mm 10 make
inquiry about it of the old lady who ocenpied
the stall.
"At this moment tho excitement, which
was intense as be entered the market, and
which grew iutenser the longer he lingered
there, bad risen to e dangerous pitch. But
Mr. Greely, little dreaming or caring for the
storm, related to the lady how, on his last
trip through Iowa, he had met a potato of
exactly the same snape, nnu now ins con
viction was that the seeds in Iowa were sown
by a French emigrant who had brought them,
very likely from the same stalk. While Mr.
Greely was speaking, tho old lady waxed in
dignant, and conceiving fromtheplensantness
of his countenance that he was making to her
some proposal of a doubtful character, in
formed him that her husband would be there
in five minntes and dispose of him. Scarcely
had she spoken, when the husband came up
and asked Mr. Greely what he would bny.
Mr. Greely not understanding tho question,
end thinking he nsked him his name, answer
ed "Greely." Upon which the man turned
round convulsed with laughter tohis wife.and
after informing her of her mistake, said ho
must be some eccentric Englishmen, ns ho
nsked for "grey milk,'" Greely being taken by
the French gardener for "gris lait." And as
it went round that droll man wanted to buy
"grev milk," the hilarity became uproarious,
and Mr. Greely left the market full of plea
santness. Indeed, he is already well known,
and a favorite with every one.
FARMERS' IIIUII M IIOOL.
In pursuance of the law of the last session,
incorporating the Farmers' High School of
Pennsylvania," tho Board of Trustees met at
Harrisburg on Thursday, tho 14th inst., for
the purpose of organization, and selection of
a sito for the location of the institution. The
Board is composed of Governor Pollock and
Secretary Curtin, who are cx-officio mem
bers, nnd Messrs. Frederick Watts of Cum
berland, l)r. A. L. Klwyn and Algernon S.
Roberts of Philadephia, H. N. McAllister of
Centre, R. C. Walker of Allegheny, James
Miles of Krie, John St roh tn of Lancaster,
Wm. Jcssup of Susquehanna, A. O. Heister
of Dauphin, and Jnmes Goweo President- of
the State Agricultunl Society, cx-oflicio.
Tho members wero oil present out Wm. Jcs
sup, James Gowcn and Aldemmi S. Roberts.
Commun:catioiis to the Board informed it
that Gen. James Irwin, of Centre county, of
fered gratuitously 2"0 acres of good limestono
land in Harris township, upon condition that
the school should bo lornted there. Judge
Miles oflered 200 acres sitnntc on the bank of
Lake Krie, upon the line of the railroad, on
the lako shore, if it shonld be located there,
nnd it was said the Commissioners of tho
county of .Dauphin would probably offer a
farm owned by that county. Besides these,
other persons proposed to sell, upon modernte
terms, farms located in Delaware and Ches
ter counties. All these communications were
referred to a committee, composed of Gov.
Pollock, Judiro Watts and Dr. A. L. Elwin,
with instructions to make nn examination of
the several properties offered, ond report
their determination to the next meeting of
the Bonrd, which will be held for that pur
pose early in July. The committee will meet
at Harrisburg on Monday, the 2Mb inst.. and
proceed by the Pennsylvania railroad to
Sprnce Creek, and thonco to the land of Gen.
Irwin, and by the way of tho F.lmirn railroad,
at Williomsport, to the New York ond Erie
road, and thence to Erie county, and return
ing will examine tho other proposed sites.
The Board evinced at their meeting a de
termined purpose to establish this school
without delay, and to prosecute it with all the
means and energy at their command ; and
we are pleased to hear that the means are
probably quite ample to make a beginning.
The FfM.in Wonics. Tho public improve
ments of this Stute during the month of Mav,
yielded tolls to the State to the amount of
gZ34,B'J4, being an increase 01 so;,i4t over
the same month last year. The increase on
the Delaware division is 820.000 over May of
last year, and on the main line consisting of
the 1 hiladelphia und uolumbia railroad, the
Canal and Portage railroad, from Columbia
to Pittsburg, the increase has been about
if 7000. This improvement is not calculated
to diminish tho value of the public works,
which the Legislature has authorized to be
sold.
